I've read every issue of JMS' Superman.

Isn't this Hester's first Big Two writing gig?

I believe it just may be.

I was comparing it to your first editorializing on Wonder Woman ages ago.

Didn't think I had to come right out and say it. :lol:

Correct.

Well, 7 more issues, at least.

He wrote some Flinch and Gen13 stuff and a Magdalena/Daredevil crossover. I believe that's it.

The original Wonder Woman thing? I said that nobody cares about the character, you don't need to be reading the book to say that.

I like Wonder Woman, but no way am I going to read bad-fashion-sense WW who "doesn't really know who she is right now". :smt011

All I see if another unique and eclectic talent co-opted by DC to write a by-the-book mainstream comic, like Lemire's poorly reviewed Superboy, or like Roberson to clean up a lazy, sloppy writer's mess instead of writing from their own voice and talent.

I dropped the book after 3 or 4 issues of the JMS takeover. I didn't care for the art, the story or the depiction of Diana. Personally, I didn't feel a reboot was needed. From reading this article, I don't see myself picking up the book again. I don't see Wonder Woman as a person filled with rage and having anger issues.

Roberson's first issue of Superman was decent, certainly better than JMS', and Lemire's Superboy is pretty obviously coming from his own voice, Smallville is basically Essex County in the DCU, and Lemire's love of superheroes shines throughout Tales From The Farm.

I don't know why you seem to think these writers are being forced into doing superhero comics, they are obviously fans themselves.
