Lest we
ever forget, it's the 10th anniversary of
Identity Crisis...
And I know what you're thinking: "Hey, why don't we have the same guy who wrote that tale of '
Deadly Secrets! Private Hells!' write
a series of children's books about heroes?"
Well, apparently that's what some publishing executives thought:
To be fair, I haven't read any of these. But really, would we be surprised to find that they portray
Mary Todd Lincoln killing
Elsa Einstein in an insane bid to win back
Honest Abe's love, while having
Amelia Earhart brain-wipe everyone before her disappearance so they'd never know the truth about how
Nikita Khrushchev raped...nah, can't go there.
I'm just saying that, based on previous experience,
Brad Meltzer really doesn't know dick about heroes.
Of course, if they
are good books, I can imagine some parent saying, "Jasmine really liked those books, and here's a collection of super-hero stories the same man wrote, I'll bet she'd like that
OMG WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!"
So that could be fun, after all!

Uh yeah. Not sure that I will ever forgive him for what he did to Sue Dibny.
I still remember reading the first six issues the morning before the last one came out...and being bitterly disappointed. I was still expecting a murder mystery, not an afterthought.
