Considering Morrison is currently writing one of the most boring Superman runs I've ever read, and others seem to be fairly bored by it too, I'd rather see someone else tackling the character with Waid to be honest.

That's awesome.

Garth Ennis or bust! Throw people off. Probably the most underrated Superman writer ever.

Whatever floats your boat, bro. But glad we can agree on Waid.

Waid would be wonderful. But given his comments about how editorial screwed up Mary Marvel last year, which were not complimentary about DC editorial in the least (something about old men working out their issues with women), I don't see him getting hired by DC very soon.

I hadn't heard about that. But yeah, I can see that putting him on the outs with DC for a bit.

I think I'd like to write a Superman story that mainly focused on him being Clark Kent and not Supes.
The stories would revolve around Clark using his journalism skills to tackle organized crime and political corruption instead of him simply punching stuff in the face.
maybe use the new 52 to reintroduce Maxima as someone who might be able to connect with him as a human, and not some super-bimbo with superman powers + telekinesis.
and have a page or two every now and then when he's running around the dog park with Krypto.
and yes, there would be Superman doing superman-y things, but it'd be for a page or two.
I essentially want to tell the story of the "man" in "superman".
with Bruno Mannhiem as the over-arching villain.

is waid upset because they took a character so squeeky clean and then turned her into a BDSM wearing tramp?

Also the "Dan Didio hated 52! He would wander around the hall bashing us! Steve Wacker was protecting us"
