Yes, I'm not willing to defend all the statements that were made in connection with Promethea, mainly because Emmie had not read all of it yet either and I don't agree with all of her points (naturally, like you said, it's a conversation).
But that doesn't mean that a comparative reading in itself is "unfair" when there are so many similar motifs explored in both stories. Like any other critique I think it can be dealt with point by point but not as a whole be swept under the rug.
S8 plunges into the comic genre, it rises comparisons on every second page, why should we not make them?
