I'm not saying Morrison is doing the latter. I'm saying there's more than one way to express your integrity and working for DC is not necessarily an unethical thing to do.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-64836706407572330022012-05-13T13:13:25.644-03:002012-05-13T13:13:25.644-03:00Wayne: Yeah, honestly, I don't think the inte...Wayne: Yeah, honestly, I don't think the interview is Morrison being a "company man" and toeing the line. I'll grant you that you do have the option of believing which is true: Either he was covering himself then and this is his true feelings, or the other way around. My point is that we will never know for certain. And given that, I'm going to choose not to see him as having credibility on the issue AT ALL.MrCynicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597685655664903990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-56462799115473691132012-05-12T23:52:38.389-03:002012-05-12T23:52:38.389-03:00@MrC--I worded the last part badly.

If Morrison was mentioning being "freed" from the S&S Superman (which seems odd, as the first few issues had him as liberal activist Superman), I don't mean to imply your opinion of who was being hurt, the estates or Morrison, is you own. I was more saying that Morrison stating that he was freed from restraints and might now be seeing them himself. Hell, I don't know if that's any clearer.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-31566862774706968112012-05-12T23:47:50.714-03:002012-05-12T23:47:50.714-03:00@MrC--possibly Morrison had to do a lock step with...@MrC--possibly Morrison had to do a lock step with the others who got the plum jobs? But I really did see it in a different light after reading Siskoid's post. I think DiDio, et. al., are making him stick to a certain script, and this was his reaction. <br /><br />As you say, it may have been more "the committee" vs. Morrison instead of vs. S &S. But I'd say a little of both. Great post, Siskoid.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-75284942360170892792012-05-12T20:01:56.483-03:002012-05-12T20:01:56.483-03:00Yeah...I dunno.

I think Morrison might be in more trouble had he not given those interviews a while back about how good it was that Superman was "Freed" from Siegel and Shuster. So this whole story struck me as insincere and lacking in credibility as far as I'm concerned.MrCynicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597685655664903990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-36558136521987523232012-05-12T15:22:14.692-03:002012-05-12T15:22:14.692-03:00I also had the idea that if Clark, Lois, and Jimmy...I also had the idea that if Clark, Lois, and Jimmy had kept their character, the idea would have simply been stolen from them. I don't keep up on all the comic news, and my impression was that the nu Superman was going to meet President Superman. Perhaps editorial changed that and Morrison was arguing both for S & S as well as himself. That is, they give him the Action title and are already taking control from him. On first read I immediately thought of Seigel & Shuster, but after reading your post--and the Spawn link--I'm wondering if Morrison has been told to approach things differently, as well.<br /><br />Great Gene Ha artwork. And an all-black Justice League. Odd, but still an interesting take that there are so many black/Asian/etc. heroes with so few being spotlighted in the nu52. Cyborg's sole reason for being in the JL seems to be that he can create boom tubes.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.com
