wow, this must have happened during the few years I stepped away from reading comics. That’s a horrible retcon to his backstory for all the reasons listed above. I’ll just keep his original backstory in my headcanon.
Yeah, it was pretty bad. I remember looking forward to it because it had been such a long time since ANYTHING had been done with the character. That story felt like a slap in the face to everything that came before. What’s the purpose of having serialized storytelling if we’re not going to abide by literally anything that came before? Though, comics have been doing that a lot lately…
Yeah, well, kinda standard practice with superhero comics in general… I love the characters, and still like reading the books, but the constant retconning can be a bit much at times (though sometimes a retcon can fix a previous problem… but usually just serves to make the backstories needlessly complex) sometimes you just have to pick and choose what to accept in your personal canon. I’m not going to accept this.
