Willow Wilson, who wrote the wonderful and unique series "Air" for Vertigo before it was suddenly cancelled earlier this year. Many of the comments and complaints about her last Lois-centric "Superman" issue are rightfully harsh. But I do not think that it's all her fault. In "Air," she had creative control, her own vision, and 24 issues to tell her own story. Here, she is required to churn out a one-issue (or two-issue, at this point) fill-in for a story that has failed on every level. Batman gets 20 titles a month, but Superman's main title is delayed a whole month and now two fill-in issues. Unacceptable, DC, totally unacceptable. I feel bad for Chris Roberson, who has to pick up the pieces of this mess.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-64100168709538152872010-11-24T17:06:26.690-05:002010-11-24T17:06:26.690-05:00DC should just let Sterling Gates write Superman. ...DC should just let Sterling Gates write Superman.

It's desperate, how The Source writer presented the news as, 'Oh, by the way, kids ...' Just doing his job, I suppose. <br /><br />But honestly, DC isn't going to convince anyone this is business as usual. They'd actually garner some respect if they put their hands up, admitted Grounded hasn't worked and pulled the plug.
