Quote: Wonder Boy said: I found it to be very dark, and lacking any optimism, or even humor. Perhaps you saw some optimism in those issues that I didn't. I'd like to know what in there qualifies as optimism.
That they weren't there to uphold the status quo, like the corporate-safe Superman, Batman, etc. They actually strove to make the world a better place through change. That's fundamentally optimistic to me...
