Waid lost me when the killed the Legion for his "threeboot" which was not needed or wanted. Sort of like the Bendisboot going on now. He drove the Legion into a ditch with his "eat it grandpa" version and then bailed after pretty much damaging the title beyond repair.
In the interview session referenced in the first post, Waid says his favorite character is Superman (which I think was always obvious) and there's a great big gap between him and his second favorite would be -- which he revealed as Robby Reed (the original Dial H for Hero kid).
I wouldn't mind seeing Waid do a nice, long run on the Superman titles. Given his love for the character, it's interesting he's never had a run writing the main Super-titles.
I remember reading at the time that he & Grant Morrison wrote their pitch for the Superman titles under the impression they were requested by DC.
When they came in & pitched it was apparently deemed unsolicited with Waid being told he'd NEVER write a Superman title.
Then there was Dan telling all and sundry that Countdown would be 52 'done right'. (Oops)
Waid is a great writer. I will read any book he writes as 9 times out of 10 it's well worth the money.
"My name is Wally West. I'm the fastest man alive!"
I'll try being nicer if you try being smarter.
Give him the Superman books, put Bendis on a Green Arrow book with Chris Samnee or Jorges Fornes on art, a Question title with Alex Maleev.
