The link titled “DC Comics officially shelves Orson Scott Card’s Superman project” points to an avowedly conservative Christian, anti-abortion, anti-gay news site. While it’s your right to link to such sites and give them traffic if you see fit, they are coming to this story with a very firm agenda and seem to have skewed the facts they’re reporting to fit their preferred alarmist message. In fact the story was not “officially shelved” so far as I know, but it makes for a scarier headline for their readers.
Didn’t realize — link removed.
Good call.
