I have to agree with you that the title to me is baffling. I remember reading in Wizard magazine when he passed the ebullient and effusive out pouring of praise from everyone in the comic book community and at the time, I just couldn't see the often times (hyperbolic to me, at the time) statements like "he was the bones of every comic book artist after him". Now that I'm older, I totally see it. He was a game changer, and was incredibly prolific. But I never got into New Gods, and it's tough for me to not think that DC has a great chance of screwing it up like so many of their movie releases. I hope that general unfamiliarity with the source material will help them try some new choices, but they seem to have been on a middling pursuit of emulating the MCU.
