[Ben Lahnger]

Saya, I think maybe you just WANT to like it a little too much. As you said, sometimes the writers don't take her seriously ... and this sounds like a case of wanting to reinvent her so badly and yet now knowing how to do it, so that it comes off sounding desperate (even more desperate, unbelievably, than the most recent reinvention.) And those panels you've posted do NOT inspire confidence as far as I'm concerned.

I don't see the cause of your optimism, unless you're suggesting that these people that you have so much confidence in just don't actually know the meaning of the word "horror", but are capable of creating a good piece of fiction.

I predict we're all going to be wishing Gail Simone was writing this title a few months down the line.
