Warren Ellis über Marvel vs DC, ein interessanter Kommentar über JQ

What the hell is going on at DC?
I took a break from NO HERO last
night to skim Journalista, and
ended up spending twenty
minutes reading all kinds of crap.

I get on very well with Paul Levitz,
and I like Dan Didio a lot. I don't
really keep an eye on what DC is
up to these days, beyond opening
the occasional comp box and
having a flick through. I knew Dan
was focussing on luring old
readers back, I knew they'd
fucked up some of their big
relaunches, but my god.

Grant has to now go online to
explain that he turned in his FINAL
CRISIS scripts way ahead of time
to define the structure of the
event, but the prequel projects
all ignored the scripts? JG Jones --
who *can* hit deadlines on short
projects with the correct editorial
oversight -- is having to be assisted
by Carlos Pacheco from issue 4
of FINAL CRISIS? DC stalwart
Chuck Dixon kicked out of their
creative stable? And FINAL CRISIS
placing a fairly distant second to
the second issue of SECRET
INVASION?

People like talking shit about Dan
Didio online. The truth is that he's
actually a smart guy who, on
entering the company, had to
make some tough decisions
fairly quickly. It's also true that
some lifers at DC editorial are
very resistant to any kind of
change. Are some of them just
plain nasty and dumb enough to
say, "screw Morrison, we'll do
our own story, and if it blows his
big reveals, well, **** ím''? I
would hope not, but it does seem
to have happened anyway.

Interesting thing about Joe
Quesada: he likes to ''win,'' sure,
but he doesn't like it when a big
DC project fails. He thinks it hurts
retailers, and therefore harms
everybody.

I've been out of it for too long.
What the hell is going on up
there, people?
