"As much as I liked Man of Steel (which surprised me and polarized me from most of my peers), George Reeves will always be my Superman and the threat of a burglar or a psycho will always trump the fear of an alien invasion. See, “the end of the world” is when the person you fell madly in love with falls out of love with you, or dies. I’ve experienced that type of apocalypse. I don’t know what’s it’s like to break the world in half unless the world is a metaphor for the heart. And, like how old, black & white television shows blew their special effects budget on bending a bank robber’s rubber gun into a black pretzel, I cherish the economy of comic book line art and color and the contraction of storytelling that asks you, the reader, to co-author the tale, to fill in the spaces between the panels, and insert yourself, hook, line and sinker." tor/blogs/2013/07/past-forward-rocket-girl-red-hook-and-burroughs-comics
