It's a good point. I just don't like the shit stinkin' up the joint. And I can't do new Max stories, because everyone thinks he's evil, and his head is on the wrong way.
Because those folks at DC already did spend that time and creative energy going back to retcon those good stories into crap. Retcons are not in of themselves bad; the nature of myth is in the retelling and reinterpretation, I think. But they fucked up something that was good in the first place, and was shit in the second place.
I mean, seriously, did you read the original EMERALD TWILIGHT, by Ron Marz? Geoff Johns later retconning Parallax as a big yellow space bug did not deplete from the original retcon bullcrap they pulled there. And it opened the door to SINESTRO CORPS. Which is more awesome than DC has been in so, so, so many years.
But ultimately, you shouldn't worry. I have far more important personal projects to keep me occupied. Original stuff, not just playing with someone else's toys.
That said... I'm telling ya now, if they'd pay me, I don't know if I'd say no...
