Metropolis Mailbag: Loeb era?
sideshowcris asked:
What is your opinion of the era that came right after this one, when Loeb/Kelly/Casey took over but before Birthright? You've been fairly vague but I get the feeling you don't particularly care for it.
I haven’t read enough of it to have an informed opinion, but it sucked balls. Or parts of it seemed to suck balls, and others seemed okay, but overall it doesn’t look like a very interesting period to me. I still kept myself informed of what was happening through the magic of the Internet and there were some storylines that seemed cool (mainly Emperor Joker, which I might still check out one day), but there was a general sense that the plot was just going around in circles and the continuity didn’t matter anymore.
As jimintomystery pointed out in reply to my previous post, this was the beginning of the period where we got four different Supergirls and six different General Zods. They also did two separate stories where the secret bad guy turns out to be Emil Hamilton, which was a bad enough idea the first time.
