This modern age of superhero cinema can be traced directly back to 2000's X-Men. Which worked because of Wolverine--created by Len Wein.

Len Wein. He wrote Swamp Thing, Phantom Stranger, & my favourite Batman stories. He showed 12 year old me that comics could be literature.

Len Wein was the editor who brought the British creators to DC. He was one of the nicest people I've met, in 30 years in comics.

He will be missed. And I will miss him.
