Tis the Season
True story: I walked into my Local Comic Shop today and asked for DC K.O.: Superman vs. Captain Atom #1.
"We sold out," said the man behind the counter. "Why? Is Booster Gold in it?"
"Yes," I said. "Last two pages. DC is going to get me to spend five dollars for two pages of panels of Darkseid wearing Booster Gold's skin and murdering people."
Said the resident Superman fan employee standing behind me, "I'll be happy to tear the last two pages out of my copy and give them to you. I'm already sick of this event. I think someone should take Joshua Williamson out behind the woodshed and Old Yeller him so I can have my Superman back."
Now, that Superman fan happens to be about three decades younger than I am, and he was raised on the New 52. We don't often see eye to eye about most comic book stories.
But I thought it is kind of nice that DC's ongoing torture porn is uniting fans of all characters. That's the Spirit of Christmas! Thanks, DC.
