Why is Kevin Smith still around?
I found this short article in the Press of Atlantic City telling that overrated filmmaker and occasional comics writer Kevin Smith has begun writing another miniseries, Batman: The Widening Gyre.
His work on Daredevil and Green Arrow was mediocre enough, but his work on the Black Cat miniseries, which suffered a horrendous delay for 2 years and was then padded out to boot, was the real disaster: he retconned a rape into Felicia Hardy's background. I hope Smith's lost influence in the comics field since, because a writer of his undeserved standing who injects already gratuitous elements like those into the scripts he's writing is really not someone comicdom needs around.
