BC Mag #4: Life In The Gutters

Bleeding Cool Magazine article by Rich Johnston

There has been all sorts of fuss over the announcement, then retraction that Orson Scott Card was to write a Superman story for DC Comics. After the initial protests, and subsequent withdrawal by artist Chris Sprouse from the project, I was told by a senior DC source that they were in "no hurry" to find a replacement artist. Which means DC can bury the story without actually appearing to kowtow to petitions.
