June 1, 2012 7:29 pm I think mark. makes an excellent point. A good friend of mine came out later in life after being married and having two kids, having Alan Scott take that kind of self-journey in addition to his Green Lantern duties would be one hell of a story!

June 1, 2012 3:58 am I enjoy Robinson's work, but this is just pandering. Why retcon/reboot someone into being gay, when there are already gay characters whose sexuality isn't getting near the coverage this is. Apollo? Midnighter? Instead of addressing the topic with existing gay characters, they go for the shock value by rebooting someone and making them gay. Marvel is just as bullshit with this Quicksilver wedding. The outed him back in Alpha Flight #106 and haven't done much to explore that, until now, marriage out of left field. More pandering....

May 22, 2012 2:02 am I think some of the resentment to digital comes from the unintended tone from statements like " I read such and such digitally..." , it can come across that it's more important to be reading digital than the content of what's being read.

May 21, 2012 8:15 pm I think there can be room for both, it doesn't have to be "unless it's Digital I refuse that company...", nor does it have to be "Paper only..." There is a happy medium , it looks like a lot of the concern is in the manner the publishers are trying to reach the new reader. And a large number of current readers are spoiled buy the proliferation of Trade paperbacks, no one wants to seek out a back issue at a shop any more. The catering to the elusive new reader has led to the over-importance of re-numbering issues. Too many people are either too lazy to read a book or have this fear of picking something up and if they don't know all of it then they freak out. I bet a number of us saw something and started reading and were completely content to backtrack the lineage or go from t where they started. I The digital vs paper debate shouldn't be a debate, both can prosper. But the constant renumbering and reboots is just pandering to an audience that won't appreciate it at the cost of the long standing reader

May 21, 2012 2:25 am They did a great job with the Simonson Thor, much better than they did with Korvac last week.
