Lana Lang dated Vartox.
That tells you everything you need to know about her. -
That’s just unverified gossip from that scandal sheet The Daily Tattler. You can’t trust them – they’re actual fake news.
(In the sense that it’s a fictional newspaper.)

Question if the New Gods have died then shouldn’t New New Gods be born just as they were born of the death of the Old Gods?
-
The New Gods weren’t born of the deaths of individual gods. The energies that were released in the final, cataclysmic battle between the old gods destroyed them, then coalesced into New Genesis and Apokolips, upon which the New Gods were born.
Kirby originally envisioned doing the Fourth World stories at Marvel, and the New Gods would have been the Asgardians reborn after Ragnarok.

You might be tired of “object backstory” but I’m tired of “heroic psychopaths” so what i’m saying is I stopped reading around volume 3 or 4.

Okay.

Sorry I shouldn’t have snapped at you.

I…didn’t think you had? I was just acknowledging your comment, albeit in a somewhat sarcastic manner. As is my wont.
Mostly just to indicate that I accept your position, even if I don’t agree with it. Shrug
So no worries.

I do not believe Doom could become the Spirit of Vengeance. Unless He used the powers of the Sorcerer Supreme to force the Spirit to bond with him, which now that I think about it would account for the 1% weakness that allowed Thor + Phoenix to win. So complaint rescinded

Well, this was just a small dose; there are some other sequences that are bit more obnoxious. And honestly, it’s not that bad…yet. But it’s clear (especially given what Bendis has done with some of the dialogue he’s put in the mouth of Bart’s grandfather in Superman and Action) where it can – and likely will – lead.
But, as with all things, mileage varies, and it took me some time to become allergic to Bendis dialogue.
