Yeah, but to me, they tried the 'best of both worlds' approach with Lex before, by paying lip service to both the older stories where he grew up in Smallville or whatever and the Byrne stuff, in Birthright. I actually liked Waid's Lex a lot. At the same time, I don't know as we can really blame Morrison for this take. Obviously he's going to have a lot of say in what goes on, but Lee, Didio and Johns are the big dogs.

As for the nature of Morrison's run, it feels more like All-Star, to me. There's connecting characters and stuff like that, but each issue feels like it's own individual story, as well as contributing to the overall narrative. It's nothing new for Morrison, and personally, I find it refreshingly fast-paced compared to the normal six-parters.
