Artists are a dime a dozen.
I haven’t read Superman comics since I was a kid, but Orson Scott Card is a major science fiction writer; his “Ender’s Game” is a genuine classic of the genre.
Card is one of the best science fiction writers around. Why is he working on a comic book?
In before the usual.... ‘but he is Mooooooorman’ subjects.
I knew it would come to this. Card is being attacked for his personal opinion, and since they can’t personally attack everybody in the US for their personal opinions they’ll find some high-profile writer.
I hope there is a big backlash over this. Reading what writers went through in the Soviet Union for the slightest deviation from the Stalinist line is horrifying.
They seem to be trying to push this issue with Superman. I saw a short on Cartoon Network Latin America the other day along these lines.
Here it is on YouTube:

The clip I saw starts at 2:38 and runs to 2:53.
The rest of the video is kind of boring.
Dont Expect That Orson Scott Card Superman Story Any Time Soon
