Can we even call it a "line?" Two comics that rarely come out do not constitute a "line" of comics. As much as I LOVE All-Star Superman (and I do love it), the All-Star books are just a stupid idea, and I said so at the beginning. EVERY book should be an "All-Star" book. If I was Jann Jones or whoever takes over this mess, that's the way I'd sell it, too. I'd write one of those stupid-ass columns in the back of the books that said, "We screwed up. We were wrong to separately identify those books. Every title we put out has the best talent and the best stories we can muster. That is my personal guarantee to you." Then I'd put the All-Star branding on every cover. Of course, I'd also follow through and actually do what I said, but I realize that part is even more unrealistic...
