This is basically what I meant to say. Lots of investment, and Booster was the only real payoff (and, admittedly, a pretty good one). Ralph Dibny is one of my favorite DC characters, so that was a disappointing thing to me, so it made me less excited about what they were doing.
I didn't mean to imply that I dislike Batman and Superman, because some of the best comic stories I've ever read were about those two, but it takes an exceptional writer to do anything good with them anymore. That was my ill-made point.
And, I didn't mean to say that they actually made Iron Man a villain, but that was how a lot of people perceived him, and it was because of the choices they made regarding his character. I never thought he was acting out of character, and though I was on the anti-reg side, I understood what he was doing and respected him for standing up to Cap for it. Cause, seriously. Who stands up to Cap voluntarily? Tony Stark is the only one who really can. The rest of them, and I think Spider-Man is a good example of this, were only doing it out of fear of what the government might do to them, not because they actually believed it was right.
Also, guys, read Angel: After the Fall. It's awesome.

The best thing about the Death and Life of Superman was the Batman Cameo at the funeral.

Ninja Turtles.

The Dibny's are ghost detectives now. XD The Space Trio had their own mini with Forerunner, and I think all three of them are heading back out for Holy War before Starfire has to go back for Titans East. Steel? I think he might be in Infinity Inc.

That reminds me, did any one read Crime Bible? I heard it was fairly okay.
