You know, I had just about managed to grasp the notion that DC didn’t believe in the return of Kara Zor-El in “Supergirl” as remotely marketable until I did it, whereupon they canceled the comic and then did it again in a new series…
But Marvel roundly and publicly excoriated my return to the 2099 Universe in “Captain Marvel” as an example of everything that was wrong with my writing (because who gave a dámņ anymore about 2099?). The book eventually wound up being canceled…and now there’s a launch of 2099 one-shots in September. New characters, to be sure, but it’s still aimed at readers who have fond memories of the Marvel future-verse…just as my much-maligned Spidey 2099 guest appearance in “Captain Marvel” was.
I used to take pleasure in being proven right. Now…not so much.
