[...] do a Westfield column — I did. Following on from his Valentine’s Day look at superhero comic couples, I wrote about some different kinds of comic love stories, from my beloved Love and Capes to True [...]

Last I’d seen of Maggie was in Gotham Central, where those creators had moved her to Gotham. I don’t recall if her SO Toby Raines had moved there with her or not.

I read creators today that talk about things like Superman/Clark being too distant and the like. Sending him on long walks, where After School Specials type one shot deals are supposed to center him.

Yet I think in large part its due to a lack of supporting characters. They can be highlighted too much and take away from Superman (anyone remember the Scorn character from way back when?) but they also long term show the positive influence Superman has had in peoples lives.

I liked KC’s column, it always makes me aware of things I didn’t know that sound interesting. Like Alicia dated the Silver Surfer? That’s odd, the poor girl gets passed around too much, as I think the only male character in FF she hasn’t slept with is Reed.

I miss the old super-supporting cast.
