Richard Donner has been getting a lot of press lately from Superman II: The Richard Donner cut and his run on Action Comics.
Wizard 181 (NOV 2006) reminded me to pay more attention to Donner as a figure in the comic book world. I don’t know the details of his removal from the original Superman II, but I like Superman: The Movie and I like the books that are being written for Action Comics. What I appreciate most from Richard Donner is passion.
Sometimes it feels that some writers have lost their passion for the character. What is always needed is a honest belief and desire that Superman is the greatest superhero of all time and the writer’s job is to make him greater. Donner does that and more.
Welcome Back to the Superman world, I’m enjoying the books!
