“The one job I’d been working towards my entire life” – will Mark Waid lastly get the possibility to write down an ongoing Superman solo comedian collection?

Famously Mark Waid was blocked from ever writing the primary Superman comedian books at DC Comics by then-publisher Paul Levitz, as a result of he was a part of the Hive 2000 group of writers who pitched collectively to write down the Superman books, an act that was seen by some at DC Comics as making an attempt to push out the present artistic workforce, although they had been invited to take action by one other a part of DC Comics editorial. Waid acquired heated at its response, and in consequence, DC  Levitz declared he would by no means write the Superman books – the comedian Waid had all his life, actually needed to write down at DC. He acknowledged;

“The one job I’d been working towards my entire life–and I’d just been told point-blank that not only could I never have it, but I couldn’t have it for any reasons that were just or made any logical sense–at least in part because someone at DC had point-blank asked me for a proposal and then failed to speak up when another someone decided I was simply crusading for a job that wasn’t available, violating the freelance code, and acting in bad (and punishable) faith. Doesn’t matter that that wasn’t true; since when do truth and politics go hand in hand? Welcome to the real world.”

Over a decade later, Mark Waid was supplied the job of writing Action Comics, to exchange James Robinson, who writer Dan DiDio had fired over an workplace love triangle, till DiDio was knowledgeable by Warner Bros. company authorized that he wasn’t truly allowed to do this. So two days after the supply was made, it needed to be withdrawn and Robinson reinstated and Waid refused to work for DC Comics once more in consequence.

But for the reason that departure of Dan DiDio and EIC Bob Harras, who Waid additionally had issues with, that state of affairs modified, and Waid started to write down with World’s Finest: Batman/Superman adopted by World’s Finest: Teen Titans, and a Superman: The Legacy Of Lex Luthor mini-series with Bryan Hitch.

But what about an precise Superman ongoing collection, the one factor Mark Waid has been denied all these years? Well, the top of this week’s World’s Finest: Batman/Superman, sees sees slightly re-writing of Superman’s personal origin, as to why solely Superman as a child made it off the planet Krypton. As he has to cope with a Kryptonian risk of outdated.

And plainly these storylines could also be persevering with elsewhere. The World’s Finest tales are supposed to be set within the latest previous, however can have present-day implications. And that is what it appears can be occurring with Action Comics subsequent 12 months,

Does this imply that Mark Waid can be writing Action Comics in 2024, revisiting these storylines? Either the primary strip or the back-up strip? That is definitely what I’d infer from this and, if true, will see Mark Waid lastly fulfil a lifelong ambition?
