Now, why do you hate Birthright exactly? Other than the fact that you have no taste.
Because it's not a note-for-note rehash of the Byrne material and doesn't treat it as an untouchable holy writ, that's why. In his mind, the only true Superman existed between 1986 and 1999, to hell with anything that came before or after that period.

And judging from the way DC cut the legs out from under Birthright by positioning the Byrne reissues at the exact same time as Birthright instead of allowing Birthright the same amount of breathing room that was afforded to Byrne when he did his revamp, they obviously agree with him.

Screw this. I've had enough of DC's stupidity.
