You walk in circles. We've been over most of that. You've been inside Waid's head. I understand that. I wish I had the power to do that, but I don't. By doing what he did Byrne became God, and by doing something essentially similar, only different in content, Waid became the Devil. It doesn't matter that the changes made in the story are subjective, you don't like them so he must have a secret agenda. Waid and his secret hidden agenda. Do you think his comics would see the light of day if DC didn't want the same thing he does? You should be happy about DiDio's interview: it means someone can come in and ignore Waid, maybe even using Byrne as a basis for Superman.
I'd just like to rescue a couple things from your repetitive rant:



Read Waid's interview at CBR.

He said what I've known all along;

Smallville TV or show or not, he would have put Lex back in Smallville because that's how his limited intelect in regards to this concept works, through the outdated eyes of the Silver Age.

We've been over this. What, one, two books a month? Less? Against a shitload of comics that HAS to use continuity? (or at least HAD, I don't know how things are now). Just like you can accept that there's a graphic novel that doesn't belong in continuity, why can't you accept the same could happen in one of the monthly comics?



Becuase it's not the 1960's anymore, Mxy.

Today, or at least before Berganza and Waid fucked it up, Superman comics, all 4, told a continous story.

Instead of having wait a whole month to read part two of the story you only had to wait a week.

How fucking great was that?

Your hang up seems to be the difference between numbering and title.

People have no problem buying two issues of Ultimate Spider-Man a month, but ask them to buy three of Superman and they go ballistic with the "they should be different and tell outdated out of continuity stories like in the 60's"...

According to Pariah, he's less of a writer because he didn't want to use continuity. He "can't write adaptively".



There's no way Cooke's story could be adapted to work in continuity.

New Frontier is the way the Silver Age would have been told had the creators not written down to their audience.

In light of Crisis, Year One (Batman), Gods and Monsters (Wonder Woman), Emerald Dawn (Green Lantern) and Man of Steel, something like New Frontier is redundant.

Ex-fucking-cuse me?! I'll have you know I've been looking forward to reading that series for YEARS. I know what's it about and how it's done, I know it uses continuity. And yet, if I ever saw it I'd buy it in a second.
I've said this a million times but I'll repeat it again for your benefit, because you can't retain anything for more than five minutes: I'M CAPABLE OF ENJOYING STORIES THAT USE CONTINUITY AS LONG AS THEY'RE WELL DONE. At the same time, I'd hate a story that doesn't use continuity if it wasn't well done. I wouldn't cry or have a heart attack because of the fact that a story uses continuity or not, that's you. My whole point is that continuity should be allowed as much as lack of it. YOU are the intollerant one, not me. I don't close myself to things, I don't make prejudices, that's YOU.



You should really stop buying modern comics, man.

You'd be happier buying the archives, trust me on this.

12 or more issues per volume in the bright shinny paper and they have EVERYTHING you're looking for in your comics...

Comics are like a Rorschach test; everyone has a different opinion on what they are and can be...
