This is fantastic news. Firstly, it’s fantastic news because Superman is great and he deserves it. Secondly, I love hearing this news because it’s raw, concrete, indisputable evidence that people like Superman and that there are tons of people who enjoy his stories. So, whenever these “negative haters of Superman” come along (*cough* *cough* SOME-Batman-fanboys and Marvel fanboys *cough* *cough*) then this is epic, solid irrefutable evidence that the character of Superman is NOT boring, and that in fact, tons of people buy and read Superman comics.
