Current Talk '24 I / Re: Boardindex Page Montage/aka 'Book 1'?

All the liberties that Campiti and Co. take with the actual '91 Series would be a lot easier to accept if Campiti hadn't continually made promises like how everything about Book 1 of the comics can be dropped right into the continuity of the third hour of the series and fit in perfectly with the continuity of the series, or how the comics would remain faithful to the series. Clearly such promises are not the case and who knows how he thought he could make such statements? Though part of it could be that he took confidence in the fact that DCP signed off on everything Campiti did. When it comes to DC, I can see how he might have done it because by his own admission he had a mind like a sieve when it came to the plots of any version of the series - but given that Jim Pierson also signed off on them is much harder to accept given that Pierson actually worked behind the scenes on the '91 Series and he's listed as an editor for the comics. Though given what slips by in the PomPress books, of which he's a co-editor, maybe it shouldn't be hard to accept...
