Dan DiDio's Admission of Guilt

KyleWPeterson

In a new interview over at Newsarama, Dan Didio basically apologizes for Countdown, Action Comics, Wonder Woman and promises that DC will get their act together.

It's about bloody time... cause DC is absolutely driving me nuts right now...

and for this

The amount of interest in Captain Carrot is not enough to support a series coming out, so what we did was that we brought about a way to tie it in to Countdown that would give us a reason to publish another Captain Carrot series with the hope that people would find it, enjoy it, and maybe ask for more. If the desire is there, we will do more

... someone needs to be fired.

The ending on the new Captain Carrot series was pretty awful.

Algertman

Captain Carrot is awful

that's why I love it

Furu

At least the man's got the stones to admit when he's fucked up as opposed to some other overweight psuedojolly editor-in-chiefs out there.

Glad to see Captain Comet will make a return in 2008, along with Dr. Occult.

Libra was a surprise, so I guess we'll be seeing a new Injustice Gang.

Not sure how well the whole "DCU won't be tying into Final Crisis as it is happening" thing will work out. It might feel disjointed like the 52 / OYL relationshiop

I'd love to see "someone" apologize for outright admitting he hates how an iconic character is actually happy.

HEY ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT JOE QUESADA

Mr Pink

That might be true.

Kyle

Me Too!

Yes they are

Yeah I heard that guy is doing the art on a shitty Spidey story.

Joe Q, I heard if you rub his belly on Christmas Day you get a special no prize.

Nice to see Dan D admit there were screw ups, what matters if everything now gets worked out and the DC universe is pushed properly.

The Marvel Universe would probably be a pretty boring place if it wasn't for Joe Quesada, steeped in the same ad nauseum that DC has gone through for years.

Unlike Didio, he actually realizes a world like this needs to evolve over time instead of just inserting a bunch of incestuous fucking between multiverses.

But yeah, I'll be glad when Joe is gone so we can get back to going around in circles and get away from the ever looming fear of the slightest change in our comic books.

I havent liked every one of Joey Q's moves but Marvel is much better off than it was before he got the job and he's done far more good than harm.

Plus I like his art

edit: wiggin I don't think you understand what that dude is saying

Me Too!

That would be why I deleted the post.

Balefuego

I saw it

Me Too!

I have no clue what you're talking about

Dr. Chaos

Spider-Man doesn't have the same girlfriend anymore?! MY GOD!

The Marvel Universe shall collapse! It's completely fucked as we know it.

Balefuego

Ok Dr. Chaos I agree with you in principle but you're kinda being a douche

KyleWPeterson

I agree and I don't.

Change is nice when it's good, or when it results in something interesting, but changing things for change's sake is ridiculous. In the last five years or so Spider-Man has went through a million and one changes, but I feel like things happen so quickly that we're never really given the chance to appreciate any new type of status quo, whether it be his new powers, his mentor relationship with Tony that happened and disappeared almost overnight, and his unmasking. The same is true for the Avengers, who spent 15 issues getting together only to be torn apart within a year, the X-Men who we are just now seeing some real impact from M-Day, and plenty of other properties/titles. I definitely appreciate what Joe has done for Marvel and think he can still do a lot of good there, but when I read interviews from JMS talking about how he wanted his name removed from One More Day since he was completely against it and Joe was more or less forcing him to do it, I wonder sometimes if he really has everyone's best interest in mind.

Kyle

Mr Pink

I think the problem with the changes is that each time a new team comes in, they want to do something with impact. And that usually results in a drastic change that doesn't hold for too long. Or if it does, it just becomes commonplace.

Kyle

Me Too!

And OMD has been called retarded from the beginning.
Let's remove the wife so we can save a woman who's already died more than once.

Joe Quesadilla has probably brought more money into Marvel than he's lost it. Too bad he is full of hate.

Kyle

Me Too!

I thought he was full of money

Kyle

Devlin_Dragonus

He's Full of something...

I have no problem with change in my comics.

I just have problem with, you know, terrible changes. Like OMD.

Bloods End

Huh

So is this our first piece of real art from Final Crisis?

Seriously, keep up.

If JMS is even distancing himself from OMD before it's even finished and wanted his name off the book that really tells you something there.

To think the whole Goblin sleeping with blondie turned out to be Joe's idea afterall. Blah.

Balefuego

JMS has a history of being a bit of a prima donna though, going way back to his TV days

smokmnky

Well I enjoyed a refreshing conversation with someone from a high profile company that actually says something

Wait wait wait. You're arguing for Joe Q as a figure of change, a figure against the status quo, when his current drive is to see parker unmarried- not divorced, not widowed, which are natural changes in a life- UNmarried by the devil's hand? And his aunt back to life again? Tell me where this is a major change and not reverting to the status quo? Jackpot having powers is the ONLY change in status quo being done.

Balefuego

When him being married has been the status-quo for 2 decades, then yes I think you can call them undoing the marriage "change"

I have no problem with changes, but this isn't really "change".

OMD is "undoing events for no good reason".

THIS IS NOT A POSITIVE THING.


Guy

Balefuego

Yeah we totally needed another bitch about OMD thread

DouglasDanger

it is nice to see EiCs or whatever shouldering the blame for things they are actually responsible for
