Quote: Grimm said: Um, exsqueeze me? What? If there's a "one, true Superman," then it's that guy who "doesn't exist now." You know, the one who appeared in 1938 and started all this? The guy who's name became the job description? All other Superman incarnations are just riffs off of him.
Keep in mind that Byrne's version is an extrapolation of the original.
In essense he replaced the Silver Age rip off (which changed the entire concept) with a version that was more faitful to the original.
Waid is doing the same, but he's replacing the version that's more faitful to the original with one that's more faitful to the SA rip off.
Comics are like a Rorschach test; everyone has a different opinion on what they are and can be...
