Faustian Bargains Easier to Explain to Kids than Divorce...

Bulletin:

Man... I have seen some pretty bad stuff in my decades of comic reading... have lived through many a crisis, wars both secret and civil, three shades of infinity, and the horror that was the Liefeld/McFarlain era... but thanks to EiC Joe Quesadilla, I am actually looking at my 25 year plus Spider-man collection (that even has the clone shite in it) and thinking that I am finished with that title for a while. At least until someone replaces him and rewrites his rewrite. I don't normally have issues with such things, but the two-faced "I swear, I won't have a Superboy punch" comments and then the "oh, it's for the young readers" rationales... whatever.

I know that many others have said both sides better than I could, but I just needed to vent "outloud" for a second. Talk about putting a pillow over the sleeping head of your flagship character... this would be like if DC suddenly had Superman make a deal with Darkside to save Pa Kent by never going home to Lois again. It's just not in character. He was supposed to be about RESPONSIBILITY and living with your actions... that whole "great power, yadda yadda" thing... but why have him do that when you can just loophole the entire thing with a deal with the devil... makes me wonder how you can run a company and not understand what made it in the first place...

The weight loss clearly took too much fat away and starved his brain cells...
