It`s the evil of marketing fare. Way they word it you may think the Trinity are the underdogs to the TEC and now the SS but for all his faults, Loedbell never had his stars flat out job to anyone, including Superman. As in, the former team did as well as you would put it. These solicits are nothing but selling drama.
We are now having more crossovers with RATHO because not coincidently, the book is unanimously better received but you can also argue that it is to raise numbers so I can get why some fans will worry but I don`t think this creative team would fold like that.
