At least it dealt with the Kandorian threat in a reasonable way (as opposed to the Doomsday solution of throwing him down a mine shaft).<br /><br />I am looking forward to next season!Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-29549985324590614092010-05-22T08:53:04.016-04:002010-05-22T08:53:04.016-04:00My second concern is that, as shown by the death o...<i>My second concern is that, as shown by the death of Thara and Superman's friends in Red Shard, DC is looking to reset the Superman books to its pre-Johns New Krypton era for JMS' upcoming run.<br /><br />That would not only be disrespectful of the readers who have stuck through the two years worth of stories, but also rob the Superman books of years of potential future stories.

It will seem a bit like 2 years wasted. My hope is that the emotional resonance of the stories (being robbed of their families again) will impact the super-titles for a while even if the physical stuff is gone.<br /><br />And yeah, it bugs me that so many minor subplots are being brushed away. But I also think it was sort of time for this to wrap up.Anjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10023193805914075078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-25880467411315295632010-05-22T00:31:03.353-04:002010-05-22T00:31:03.353-04:00P.S.>>> Completely agree with you on Cafu...P.S.>>> Completely agree with you on Cafu's art.
