So are they going to make Captain Comet a straight up villain or will he just be antagonistic towards Superboy only to later figure out that he was wrong about him?
I trust that Waid’s got more going on with Comet here than meets the eye… but definitely hard to say what just yet. I just know he’s not the type to arbitrarily make an old hero a villain, especially after weaving new heroic stuff with Comet into the New History.
Old, old hero Mark Waid brought back in his DD run, and made evil.
I like Mark Waid, but one consistent complaint I have with him is that his villains lack depth. He can be pretty harsh on anti-heroes too, as Shroud can attest.

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
