I Wonder...

I have to admit, I'm not a huge Peter David fan. I've enjoyed his Supergirl and Young Justice, but I think both started strong and then petered out toward the end. The endings (Tim's speech and the Kara-Linda story) were strong but the story-arcs just before that really seemed to suffer, in my opinion. I had a similar reaction to Sir Apropos, of Nothing, now that I think about it.

Anyway, I've never really been interested in Fallen Angel, because of this. I can tell that Mr. David's a good writer, but stylistically, I'm largely apathetic. I have to admit though this post from Fortress of Fortitude has made me interested.

I'm very happy because I have quite a few friends who are huge Linda fans and will undoubtedly be happy to see her tied into the series however it's necessary. I don't know that I'll read it myself (depends on how much I'm spending that week), but it seems like a good thing.

Though, I have to admit, I'm curious about how the copyright things work in this case. It seems to me that, considering Fallen Angel isn't (as far as I know) a DC property, there would be some legal issues with using the Matrix or Linda Danvers characters. Though, since comic companies aren't stupid, I'm sure that the company will have squared everything away properly.

I admit, I had the same thoughts when that Tintin manga-Wonder Woman thing started circling the blogosphere. There was some rumor about another company taking her up on the idea, which seems odd to me. I'd heard that there was some weird legal loophole DC had with Marston's estate regarding the character, but I thought that finally got cleared up.

Sorry for rambling on. I just find this all pretty interesting.
