Rockin Rich: No, but thanks for asking.

Tim Levins: Thanks for the clarification.

Johnny: Great thought, would hate to see your holiday budget.

Vinnie: Right you are on the cancer cure, sloppy choice of absurdist hyperbole on my part.

Don: You’re welcome, it’s my pleasure.

Issue 12 of All-Star Superman didn’t cure cancer; he did that an issue or two back.

And I gotta agree with the tragedy of the shortening of Family Dynamic – it’s a delight of a book.

The last two pages of All-Star Superman are very important. The true goal of DNA P.R.O.J.E.C.T. was told in issue one. And the presence of Quintum (Morrison?) is felt over the whole comic experience.

I took the two hours to read all 12 issues back to back this weekend. It was beautiful. I can’t wait till the trade comes out – I’m getting everyone a copy for Christmas.

I just want to clarify that The Family Dynamic was never intended to be a comic aimed at “young kids”. It was pitched as an “all-ages” series, but was mistakenly grouped together with the Johnny DC line, no doubt a big factor the demise of the title.

Real thanks, Fake Pat, real thanks.

“Silver Age ideas filtered through modern sensibilities… with a hint of nostalgia thrown in… I find the characters vapid and superficial in their unyielding optimism and positivity… No doubt a few will think me wrong to praise some of the books I got this week while critiquing this one, but that’s the way it goes.”

“Constipated”?

Odd critique.

Might you be projecting, DUDE?

I actually had one bit of criticism for issue 12 of All Star Superman. It should have ended two pages earlier with the iconic shot of Superman hard at work. The “ooooh, will there be a sequel?” ending with DNA P.R.O.J.E.C.T didn’t add much to the issue or the series, and could have been easily removed without impacting the story.

Other than that? Yeah, this book featured a level of quality that other superhero books should to aspire to have.

Easy for Quesada to sit there in his pile of money and tell everyone else to kiss his feet.

I looked through family Dynamic and didn’t care for it. I don’t see where it would have any appeal for young kids, which is supposedly the target audience of the (formerly named) Johnny DC books.
