I think that comics fans grow into SF fans, and from SF fans
come SF writers and (now) SF producers. Genre domino theory.

Don't you hate what they've done with Legion lately...?

I think that the thing has gone downhill ever since they redid
them a few years ago. They've kind of gone back to the roots of the
book, but now it seems to be getting a bit silly, and the names of the
characters have gotten changed, and it's gotten dopey.
Ah, well...for me, Superman died with the Alan Moore two-parter
(now on sale as a graphic novel, "Whatever Happened to the Man of
Tomorrow?") That, for my money, was the best thing DC did with the
character in decades. I don't know who the new guy is....

I haven't done that much comics reading lately; I've been a fan
since the early 60s/late 50s, as soon as I learned how to read. Mainly
DC stuff. The market's gone to hell over the last year or two, so I've
kinda lost interest.
