As ANJ has said here before, none of us knew Sterling Gates when he took over.<br /><br />I'm part of the "problem" too, I continue to buy comics like Superman out of hope and inertia. I've bought it for so long I just can't imagine not doing so, and I keep hoping it'll get better because I want it to be better. It's not logical, but I guess being a fan isn't meant to be logical. I keep buying JLA in spite of Dark... Dark... sorry, I can't say it. <br /><br />I keep buying because I know that eventually things will come around. The last couple years of Supergirl were something I would never have expected after the first 30 issues or so. Maybe that's why we keep buying, because we're rewarded often enough to make it worthwhile.Gearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-76214052959709170482011-02-09T14:34:11.875-05:002011-02-09T14:34:11.875-05:00The thing about Superman is that I am also reading...The thing about Superman is that I am also reading it when I could 'vote with my dollars' and drop it.

Yuck, wake me up when that's over.) I am shocked that "Superman" is at #23. People must be buying into the hype and reading one of the most abysmal stories in Superman history (or, like me, they are buying out of habit more than anything else.) Still, "Superman" and "Action" seem to have rebounded from their New Krypton slump. It's interesting that both "Legion" and "Adventure" are down so low, considering the huge push that DC has given them of late. How interesting that "Power Girl" is languishing at #90. This is one of my favorite books, and last month tied in to the story happening in "Supergirl," with Cadmus creating a Krypto clone. <br /><br />As for Spencer: the guy has too much work to focus on one title. It would have been more than likely that he would have been off "Supergirl" after one or two story arcs anyway. I have faith in Peaty, as you do. <br /><br />AaronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-9043006452629450562011-02-09T09:07:24.508-05:002011-02-09T09:07:24.508-05:00I am willing to give James Peaty a real chance wit...I am willing to give James Peaty a real chance with Supergirl. <br /><br />While he has done fill-in issues and is an excellent emergency pitch hitter for DC. From what I can tell he's very good on accepting and working with the characters past history in the Sterling Gates-type of model from what I have been able read so far.<br /><br />Supergirl does appear to be his first long term series, at least with us DC Comics fans.valerie21601http://www.fanfiction.net/~valerie21601noreply@blogger.com
