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have put Lex back in Smallville because that's how his limited intelect in regards to this concept works, through the outdated eyes of the Silver Age.



That's his fucking opinion. I don't like it either, but I don't think he suddenly became a retard because of it.

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.



Nu-uh. That's the 90's. Time to move on.
It's not the 1990's anymore, MOTA.

Quote:

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



What's so bad about waiting a month? You wait a month for every other character. If waiting only a week means getting a crappy stories (like the ones produced at the end of the Jurgens era), then I say let's wait three weeks more.

How fucking great was that?



It was fucking great for a good while. Then it became lame. Time to move on, like with everything else. It's the nature of things. You claim you want evolution yet you say comics to be stuck in the 90's. So you liked the 90's. Big whoop. I bet a lot of people like the 60's.

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a month, but ask them to buy three of Superman and they go ballistic with the "they should be different and tell outdated out of continuity stories like in the 60's"...



I do have a problem buying two Spider-Man titles a month. It's excessive.

Quote:

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.



Tell that to Pariah, not me. He even thinks Watchmen could be adapted to the DCU.

Quote:

You should really stop buying modern comics, man.



I only buy backissues, and they're all modern comics. Starman, Preacher, Madman, the ABC line, etc. The exceptions. I'm quite happy with those. Also whatever I find that I don't already have from from JLE, Loeb's Flash, Jurgens' Superman, Marz's Green Lantern, and a bunch of other uncompleted series.

Quote:

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



I'd buy some archives if: A) I had time to read them AND the few modern comics I buy and B ) They weren't so fucking expensive.

Quote:

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



Well done stories? That's EVERYTHING I look for in comics. Continuity or no continuity.

Now, how this whole thing you just said applies to my argument, I have no idea.
