LOL ..i honestly stopped buying and reading both dc and marvel comics a while ago ... the rebooting bs just gets to me after awhile ...also the powers of these characters has gotten so convoluted ... remember the good old days when being able to fly was enough lol .. now if you cant move a planet with your little finger . .... they are essentially gods ... where the hell do you go from there lol

Woo hoo! I actually received an e-bot! I will now proceed to use it to add nothing of value to the primary discussion of the thread. (My apologies! Please don't hit me! Eeek!)

In storytelling terms, the "Where do you go from there?" question is addressed remarkably well by Kurt Busiek's Astro City. The series is amazing. It shows how the superhero genre can be used to tell stories beyond PowerfulMan and HateyHatefulGuy beating up on each other and leveling cities in the process. Good stuff. I also think of John Byrne commenting, at his forum, that "Super heroes are about Hope!" A lot of super hero fiction is just about power. There are deeper themes in the genre which are frequently overlooked or ignored.
