I like how Gail Simone keeps living down to my expectations:

I mean, I'm not hugely surprised that many comics fans are happy at the idea that the white straight dude from their childhood might be back in the iconic role while "Rucka's pet character" (gross) gets shuffled back off to supporting cast.  This is a pretty straight white dude-filled fanbase, and it is often predictable in that respect.

I am dubious as to most of these people's claims to be fans of Renee Montoya, though.  Not all!  But most.  I know a few Renee fans who think that post-Final Crisis she's been a little blah, but it's not a common POV in my experience.

You know, you're right. I started to think that exact thought when I was compiling just the few posts I found in that brief search, maybe they really AREN'T Renee fans, so her as a cop just means getting her out of the way for Vic.

Point taken, I think you are on to something there. I admit I was surprised because I hadn't heard ANY Renee fans say they wanted her back as a cop until today and suddenly posts like these are all over the place. Now I wonder…
