Starlin comes off seeming irritated by the entire interview. Lots of snippy answers.
preceded by lots of idiotic questions. I don't blame the guy. the quality of interviews on that site has gone down quite a bit over the last year.
personally, I tend to agree with the "mercy killing" statement of letting these versions of the characters die off.
of course we know they won't stay that way. whether it's a Wildstorm style revamp (long rumored and worth a try), or whatever.
Darkseid especially, is too popular among creators and fans and has made DC too much money in licensing deals in the past to stay gone.
