This article just goes to show how literarily impoverished Byrne is.  The
Bible is hardly full of infallible characters; in fact, only Yahweh and Jesus
are supposed to have made no mistakes.  Another in the seemingly endless
list of Problems I See In Comic Today is that people think they can write
comics if comics are all they know.  Not a chance; not well, anyway.

I predict Superman will be another Fantastic Four: a years worth of good
stories as Byrne works out the ideas inspired by the novelty of the
characters, then a long, slow slide into total mediocrity as he runs out of
new ideas.
