<sigh> I can feel the arc running off the rails. There is
definitely a tendency for all the good stuff to be front-loaded
into these things. The first couple or three issues are
invariably the best.
When a writer begins to run out of ideas, the last one at the
bottom of the bag is the Evile Government Conspiracy. The
Secret Super Team is down there too, along with the Large Secret
Monster. What happened to the charming creativity of the
annoyingly incorrect movie?
And the first impulse of the entire concept was correct. There
-is- something cheapening about having Kryptonite everywhere --
powering weapons, lining floors, forming the spikes on your
handy secret monster. It seems to be good for everything, too:
it's a floor wax! it's a dessert topping! it can power your
Bass-o-matic!
It's still possible to pull this thing out of the death spiral,
but I am not optimistic.
