    First off, Bill, how are you? It's been too long.


Eh, a'ight. How goes things for you?

    I haven't read All Star Superman. It's entirely possible that the Superman being written today is a superior interpretation to the one I read in the 90's which bored me senseless and even at age 12 seemed ridiculous.


I have rose-tinted nostalgia glasses for 90s Superman comics. The last time I was really into Superman was when he was blue and had weird energy powers.

    Don't care for new Spider-Man, but haven't really cared for him since the 90's. The occasional book I read of his (about one a year) just reinforces my opinion. It's not really a matter of continuity. It's a matter of characterization. He doesn't sound or act like the Peter Parker I read growing up. These days I'm much more into Vertigo stuff like DMZ and Y the Last Man (before it ended).


Have you checked out Darwyn Cooke's Parker GNs? They're right up your alley. Or "Chew," from Image? That one's a little absurd, but then, you invented Disco Hitler, so.
