A Man of Steel Fan In Defense of Mark Waid

Let me preface this by saying that Mark Waid is a grown man who can take care of himself, and a good deal more influential than I am, so there’s really no need for me to defend his right to his opinion.That said, Man of Steel has proven to be one of the most divisive films ever in the comics community, and there is some real animus coming from both sides, making conversations about the film ugly and serious discussions nearly impossible. Waid is at the center of it, having been the first major comics industry figure to write a bad review of the film, and so there’s been a great deal of venom directed at him by fans of the film on social media.
