Oh I don't either. I used to be married to continuity and felt other stuff "didn't matter", but that part of me faded away years ago. I'm down for any good story. Its why Klan and Yang's Batman/Superman are the only books I've gotten in I think going on two years and I love the hell out of them. And I plan to start Red and Blue I just haven't gotten around to it yet. But at the same time I know the sway that that the in-continuity concept still holds, and on those grounds that's probably why all this bothers me so damn much. When I see my favorite character done dirty (at least in my estimation) in any way it cuts. Its hard to temper that with 40 years of love, essentially. Falls into talks of being a curmudgeonly fanbase. That's exactly an apt word to describe me right now, I own it, and it can lead to not just focusing on the content I DO like.
