Charles Soule supports Brad Meltzer

What have we here, but another comics writer who has none of the issues with the architect of Identity Crisis in 2004 he'd presumably have with Orson Scott Card, no matter where he stands politically by contrast. Specifically, Soule, one of the X-Men writers who also wrote the needless Death of Wolverine "event", has voiced his support for Meltzer:

A fantastic new novel from @bradmeltzer hits today: THE ESCAPE ARTIST. Has my highest recommendation - twist-filled history-military thriller that even sneaks in some cool Houdini stuff. Brad's always excellent, and this one's REALLY excellent. Get it! pic.twitter.com/UxyUIT9Crt

So did you think it was excellent when, in the 3rd issue of IC, Deathstroke punched Zatanna in the stomach hard enough to make her vomit, in one of several shock tactic moments the miniseries was notorious for, Soule? I shouldn't have to point out the Meltzer-penned trash ages even less well in the post-Harvey Weinstein era. Not to mention how any "twists" and "mystery" elements it's got don't hold up well in multiple readings.

All these comics writers/artists who're going about voicing favorable views of Meltzer sure aren't doing the medium any good. Soule's only making things worse.
