Make no mistake, I'm not just staying away from retro/classic "meat and potatoes" Superman. I'm staying away from that stuff from all of DC. But the Waid get by DC I'm particularly against because he's the embodiment of it all. A classic fan favorite who is so stuck in his ways and his take that he's only going to do that, and they're going to make room in the comics specifically for that now of all times. He can keep whatever spark he has left to himself and to those who care to see it excursively applied to 400th time Clark and Bruce figure out a classic Joker or Lex trap or Clark grapples with his no killing code. I'm good. I don't care if he's figured out a way to make it .0000000000001% different. I don't care if it's spotlighting fucking Atomic Skull or Metallo in some small new variation that'll be forgotten as soon as the issue's done. I just don't.
And make no mistake, it's not at all about the Waid being an old head from back in the day. It's 100% about his attitude and total unwillingness to play ball unless it's the ball he grew up with. So, yeah, I'm good. This doesn't get my support, but I hold no ill will towards whoever will get it.
Also they give his old ass Dan Mora!? The artist that's quickly defining the new slick look of DC's future is going onto the retro book because Waid doesn't want the retro book to look like the retro book that it is? Ridiculous.
