It's been reported by Bleeding Cool that comic retailers at Rose City Comic Con have said that Lobdell bought back issues of his own run on X-men and are giving out signed copies to children, free of charge. I'll be the first to say I've given Lobdell a lot of crap (for Red Hood and the Outlaws especially) but if the reports are true, I have to admit this is a pretty decent thing to do and it helps out the local retailers. My respect for the guy has gone way up.

Yeah, that IS cool, thanks for sharing.

He should've been distributing Generation X, too, though. ;) That title he wrote actually [b]is[/b] about kids. Though you can't beat the brand recognition of X-Men in this sort of situation.

Much respect to Lobdell if the reports true. Though I have given him crap for the crappy Superboy and Teen Titans titles he wrote for the New 52, I know half the blame belongs to DC editorial and their constant meddling.

His work on Teen Titans has been truly catastrophic, no question here.

But nice gesture here, that's nice.
