From the article:

As many of you know I have no really fond memories of my time with Superman. It’s a portion of my career I’d prefer to forget—and I wish everyone else would, too. So, as always I appreciate the free money, but really wish it was coming from another source.

It just breaks me to hear that. Getting to work on Superman (and not just "work on" but re-shape, rehabilitate, whatever one would call it) *should* be a source of incredible professional joy.

And you made the “S” look cooler than it ever had before.

I gotta say JB, I find your Generations work with Superman to be some of my favorite. I hope that isn't also a part of what you want to forget.
And I am still waiting on an OMAC Absolute edition.
Any word?

GENERATIONS is a separate entity. Far fewer lies to be dealt with. And, no, no word on OMAC.

Hmm. With so much of my stuff coming out so close together, I wonder if any knuckleheads will say it looks “rushed”?

I finally read GENERATIONS last year. What a masterpiece those three volume are. Loved every bit of them.

Thanks. Some years ago I tore up some of my comp copies of all three GENERATIONS and put them together in chronological order. I was pleased to find it worked as well as it did.

I do keep promising myself a read through like that, but never get around to it. I think I will give it a try this summer
