Quote of the Week
"[In] American comics, the super-hero genre has largely degenerated into fan fiction."
Ha! Funny quote. At the same time, though, I think he's seriously underrating Morrison's Superman stories, and if he truly thinks Morrison has no interest in Superman, I think he's not paying enough attention to the stories, and perhaps dismissing them -because- they're Superman.
For that matter, writing that DC is -making- Morrison, or Miller, write these books seems to me to be a way of shifting blame from the writers on to the companies.
