And that kind of rant is exactly why you're on ignore, DE. I often share your opinions but your expression irks me. Hyperbole aside, you seem genuinely offended - like this is personal or something.

Take years of general dislike for the way mainstream superhero comics have been written over the past two decades, combine it with months spent reading, enjoying, and getting invested in the adventures of a particular character who's life -- fictional though it may be -- has suddenly been derailed, and the result is not going to be calm, pretty, or anything close to rational.

My contempt for the Big Two has been simmering for years now, and it was only a matter of time before it overboiled. Now that they've gone out of their way to violate a beloved character that until now was unblemished by their crap, it's happened.
