It is neat to see Kurt Busiek on Superman. There was a thread here about how he was perhaps the only man who could save Superman from being a crappy comic, and the thread got pretty big and even Kurt Busiek himself actually responded and have been around here posting here and there ever since.

This was a way before he actually became a writer, now I don't know if he was already offered the job before posting here or after, or if DC was reading this site and said to themselves "that would be a good idea", well it fun to think about but the real reason he was hired is the same reason why that thread was started in the 1ST place, and that is because he is one of the best writers working today.

So far his issues, which he co-wrote are getting rave reviews.

I personally can't wait for the issues to start where he is writing it all himself. For me that is when the real fun will begin, as the current storyline will set-up both books.

I always get a kick on how these interviews try to get writers to spoil plotlines...LOL, I don't really think Kurt is going to spill the beans on what's going to happen in Up Up and Away...

Post IC, like it or not, at least brings the A game back to Superman. These are exciting times for the Man of Tomorrow.  :D

I agree, this could be a real turnpoint year...

Now, if only they could bring back the racks in the drugstores selling comics for 10, 12, or 15 cents...well... :cry:

Great news, even if I'm waiting for the new regular team.
I have discovered Pete Wood's arts in "Up, up and away!" and I'm really liking his style.

"So, you ask me what's the appeal of Superman? I'm quite comfortable enough in my own skin to cope with any jokes at my expense when I say that it is an honor to get to work on this character. There. Let the cynics cackle... and while anyone is snickering, I'm getting to write Superman. I win."

I like this guy. That quote rules.  :)

Well, Dave Gibbons is doing the cover art, so that alone means I'm on baord.
