When “Fallen Angel” first launched from DC Comics, I played fast and loose with the notion that Lee was actually Linda Danvers, a.k.a. Supergirl. A number of hard core Supergirl fans, frustrated that I merely remained coy about it, wandered away from the series because they wanted to know what was up with Linda. When the series moved over to IDW, I revealed the true origin of the Fallen Angel.
Let the word go out, far and wide, in best nudge, nudge, wink wink fashion: Any fans of my run on Supergirl–particularly those who are torqued because Linda Danvers was consigned to oblivion in the DCU–must, must, MUST pick up “Fallen Angel” #14 and #15 when they come out next year.

Peter David, meet DC Legal. DC Legal, meet… Oh, you know.

And you think PAD would have made this statement without thinking through what he was doing? I am not familiar with what the contracts hold on this work at DC, nor do I know what he has planned. Let us take a wait and see before stirring something up.

I just KNOW it’s going to be a wasted-issue last panel “You just hit the jackpot, Tiger” reveal in issue #14. Which translates to, “Just buy issue #15″.

All PAD is saying is, “Look, if you want to know what I WOULD have done with Linda, check out these issues.” I seriously doubt he’s going to use another company’s characters without permission. He’s smarter than that.
It’s like Kurt Busiek using his ideas for Marvels II in Astro City: The Dark Age. It’s the same idea, using similar character archtypes, but it’s not Kurt using Spider-Man, Captain America, and oh, say, Punisher.
I for one would like to know what PAD had in store…

I think it would have been Linda puttering around full of misery and self-loathing, like she was for 80 issues.

I was going to say the whole, “Graeme, do you really think Peter David is going to do something suable and then let DC know about it in advance or are you just trying to stir something up,” thing, but someone already beat me to it.
