    Oh for the love of god. Can we just let this subject die. Lobdell has done a far better job than the last two writers that where on the title. Yes H'El on earth had a rather dull ending but it's lead into an interesting story about krypton. Psy war may be dumb but that is warping up.instead on condemning him give him a chance and stop compiling (not a jab at the OP) people. To get to the gold you have to get throw the mine first.

    LEAVE. EVERYTHING. NOW.

    Guy's a hack writer, has a real d-bag personality, ruined Tim Drake, ruined the Teen Titans, etc. I haven't ever, and won't ever, read his Superman stuff. But I'm assuming it's crap. Only thing of his I ever enjoyed was Red Hood and the Outlaws.

    Would the gold be a new writer? Or would the gold represent Lobdell finally writing a good story?

    Hahaha! Dude, you have no idea how many times I've seen your posts and thought the exact same thing. I stopped pointing it out a long time ago because it was getting ridiculous. Glad to see we still agree on almost everything. Lol

    Rao, threads like this one still appears…

    Since the beginning of New-52 Lobdell is best author on Superman title (and better than many before, in Pre-Flashpoint Universe). I admit that he can’t produce really good character development or speech, but he creates an interesting plotlines and arcs. His stories have big untapped potential, but at least I can develop them further in my imagination. What created Perez and Jurgens before Lobdell – those just totally forgettable, boring and plain stories.

    If DC can find for Superman title some really (and I mean REALLY) good author, well, green light for them. If they can’t – let Lobdell do his job.

    Honestly, they aren't the ideal stories I want from Superman but you know what? They are enjoyable to say the very least.

    LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAVE

    Get someone who is interested in more than just 'Superman Punches monsters and stuff'. Hell, Snyder has expanded more of Superman's character in 3 issues of Unchained than Lobdell has in his 13+ issue rune.

    Geoff Johns has some spare time just finishing his runs on Green Lantern and Aquaman, I think. He wrote some great Supes stories a few years ago. He should take over the Superman title.
