If Birthright really has been scrapped, yeah, I guess it'll be a shame that a good series that actually portrayed Superman the way he should be got the axe. But considering the lousy reception it's taken, would it really be so sad? Better to end it now before Waid and Yu totally wind up with egg on their faces, I think.

I will say this, though: After the treatment he's taken on this book, I don't think Waid should ever write Superman again. It's just not worth his time to put his heart and soul into something the target audience will automatically reject. (By contrast, Kia Asamiya's excellent Child Of Dreams was embraced with open arms by the Batman fans, and it doesn't fit into continuity at all. Why are the Superman readers so close-minded when the Batman fans encourage and embrace new takes?)
