No. NO. NO NO NO NO NO. There are female characters in Superman that I would like to not be objectified, thank you. Jurgens has been doing some pretty decent writing with Superman. WHY, DC? WHY? Admittedly, there are worse writers for DC (Rob Liefeld) but there are also better ones. You know who should be getting more titles? Brian Azzarello. Gail Simone. W. Haden Blackman. Etc, etc etc. Stop trying to make Scott Lobdell happen. Scott Lobdell is never going to happen.

And the shitstorm just keeps coming for Superman.  

Jesus Christ, will someone please save Superman from DC Comics.

Seriously.  Clark is literally singing “Somebody Save Me” right now.  SOMEBODY SAVE HIM FROM THIS COMPANY.

Gail Simone has gone on record that she wants to write Superman again.   This is the 3rd creative shake-up in one year for this book?  Really, DC?  Really?   George Perez and Jurgens/Giffen have been doing the best they can with what is frankly some really shitty editorial mandates for this character.   It’s clear they are trying.  Bottom line?  Every story that is being told in Superman right now (Lois as Clark’s boss?) would have been a better story if the marriage was still intact.  Period.

In the meantime, in an ironic twist, Bryan Q. Miller is writing a pretty amazing Superman book set in the pre-flashpoint Superman world proviing that THERE WAS NEVER A PROBLEM WITH SUPERMAN.  He didn’t need to be gutted at his core, or made “angry” or “isolated” or have his mother killed off or his marriage gutted in order to be made “relevant.”  Who knew?

Well, every time I think it can’t get worse for Lois Lane in the new 52 the universe comes up with another way to prove me wrong.

Will someone please put Gail Simone on a Superman book?  Please.  Someone please save Superman from DC Comics.
