I was going to write about “Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine” today, but guess what I saw when I opened up the L.A. Times today.
That this was coming was no surprise. Rich Johnston broke the story months ago and after leaks of character art got hit with C&D notices from DC’s lawyers it only became more credible. When I first heard that they were doing this, my initial thought was, “Are you people out of your minds!” Trying to add on to what is effectively the “Citizen Kane” of graphic novels, let alone compete with Alan Moore at the top of his game, strikes me as the errand of a complete fool. Now that it’s here, I find myself strangely indifferent to the whole event.
