Looking at fan reaction to the announcements and measuring my own experiences in defending JM Stracynski last year only for him to walk off two minutes into his run I can definitly confirm and empathise with the wariness and streak of cynicism being spread around right now. It is unfortunate DC have a notorious track record with revamps and 'second comings' to the extent that can expect nothing else but deep caution from its readers. <br /><br />But myself I'm optimistically looking forward to this for the most part, the Superman books have been stagnant for years and need something like this, and whereas Supergirl is fine as is a relaunch can do nothing but good as it gives a springboard for new readers and writers to be in on the ground floor so to speak.<br />DC (not for the first or second time) have a superb opportunity to really make this franchise great again, I just hope they can match the courage of their intention and make this stick. Plus keep the quality and consistency high on the books of course.Dave Mullennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-25052078494006252852011-06-06T11:16:02.763-04:002011-06-06T11:16:02.763-04:00Well from what I understand from the latest news o...Well from what I understand from the latest news on the Superman Lawsuit. <br /><br />It appears someone at a law firm deliberately pitted and manipulated the heirs of Siegel and Shuster against DC Comics/Warner Brothers on purpose. Going as far as poisoning the relationships between them and the companies for their own ends.<br /><br />If this is proven, this may help mend the troubles between all of the parties involved in the Superman Lawsuit. Remove the poison pen writer and most of the time the problems will mend themselves, eventually.valerie21601http://www.fanfiction.net/~valerie21601noreply@blogger.com
