[dlwickham]

DC Comics just announced a digital-first series called the Adventures of Superman this week, which is launching in April, Comics Alliance reports:

Among those contributing are ComicsAlliance favorites Jeff Parker (Bucko, Red She-Hulk) and Chris Samnee (Daredevil, The Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom), who will collaborate on a story about Superman's first encounter with Lex Luthor. But before that, Adventures of Superman begins with a two-part story written by popular novelist Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game) and drawn by the great Chris Sprouse and Karl Story

2. Used to love some of his stories

would not ever in a million years buy another thing he had anything to do with. I won't even give away his books. It was hard and sad because I really did like some of his stuff but this guy just went too far. I never care if someone is a right winger, acting or music whatever I don't let that stop me, it is a big old world but this guy. Wow. Never again.
