What kind of oversight can an editor provide his or her boss?<br /><br />Questions, no answers.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-48743302549927580912009-08-04T14:16:56.389-07:002009-08-04T14:16:56.389-07:00This actually is not a bad move.

At this stage, showing a different side would be a good idea.Dean H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17923782800713104454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-88234328596861228162009-08-04T11:15:18.983-07:002009-08-04T11:15:18.983-07:00I also think the internet gives a very skewed view...I also think the internet gives a very skewed view of just how many people like or dislike something or someone. Bloggers (and Twitterers, and forum/Facebook/MySpace junkies, etc.) may gnash their teeth over Dan Didio, but most of the general comic-book-reading public doesn't consist of bloggers (etc.), or even people who bother to read blogs (etc.). Here's an example: the bloggers (etc.) who have been dissing Didio have also been tearing Frank Miller's recent stuff apart, and yet it continues to sell.

And, likewise, people avoid comics by writer's whom they don't like.</i><br /><br />I definitely think there are people who are more interested in Batman as a character rather than the creative team involved. How else to explain Judd Winnick and Tony Daniel? In contrast, the hatred for DiDio might actually cause folks to buy his book just so people can complain about it; "no bad publicity", and all that.Paul DeBenedettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988493725410067496noreply@blogger.com
