For some it's up there with the Clone Wars. Considered a creative nadir. The moment when the comic didn't so much jump the shark, as pirouette above it

We don't know But there certainly hasn't been the amount[...]

I had moment to catch up with writer Marc Andreyko and ask him about both Manhunter and on being openly gay in comics, and here's how that went. Being openly gay, I was wondering if it was easier or harder for you to introduce a love interest for Obsidian in Manhunter On one hand, I[...]

But Scott Lobdell has your back, as it were, and gives Brett Booth the following to draw on the facing page. Male heterosexuality restored! Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London.
