Alan Scott’s boyfriend looks like Kyle Rayner (seriously, just think green eyes instead of blue) that I missed this:
Did you catch that?
Alan’s origin is a train crash.
I think we can call the traumatic event now.
Oh please no, that would be horrible to introduce a happy couple and then kill one of them all in the same issue. Nooooooo.
Hey, I didn’t say that. I just said that the train would crash. Train crashes are traumatic.
You just jumped to the conclusion I didn’t say because you know James Robinson is writing this. Also, that character looks like Kyle Rayner.

Get it, Alan.
Oh… my god…
His boyfriend looks just like Kyle.
Robinson could screw this up horribly, but I know he can write a good Alan and if he says it’s the same guy he’s probably writing him the aame. (I don’t get where Nicola Scott got the idea he was a warm and open person. Maybe that’s just youth?)
And “traumatic event” doesn’t worry me, because Alan’s origin is a train crash. Of course something equally awful happens in this universe.
I still want cranky old Alan back, but… maybe I can be satisfied for now with sexy young Alan? Being gay might be enough of a change that they won’t need to make him a jerk to modernize him.

Oh dude, you know Superman’s frustrated because not only did he have a wife… His mom was alive too.
He had a wife, a mother and he wasn’t, you know, a dick. LOL
Seriously though this is way too meta.
I still don’t think New 52 Superman is so horrible. I’m with you on the September issues, AC went a shade too far (it’s rescue-able, though) and Superman 1 was definitely creepy. Even JL had the worst we’d seen him, but they have backed off on that almost instantly. He’s guarded and armored and talks big, but in behavior in Justice League and Action afterward Superman has been himself. The writers pulled back.
He’s just understandably sulky because he could swear he felt loved, protected and supported in August but since September he’s been very alone.

“I had a girlfriend! Now she’s a shadow of her former self that wants sex in costumes on rooftops and I can’t even trust her with my identity!”
