@joegross @dccomics I can’t wait to read “The Super-Homo of Metropolis!”

Now that's stooping pretty low. Quite a comedown for someone who used to be one of the better writers in the medium.
Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.

Mark Waid makes tasteless joke involving Superman
He said it in reply to another tweeter about DC's hiring Orson Scott Card:
Now that's stooping pretty low. Quite a comedown for someone who used to be one of the better writers in the medium.

Maybe Waid is trying to get himself fired. In the last few years, he seemed to develop a real self-loathing about comics, anymore. Just a guess.
ReplyDeleteWonder if anyone will get outraged, or since everyone is wetting their pants about Card, I'm sure this will fall down in the memory hole.
