I remember that, at the time, someone telling me that the stance was that Paul Levitz would not release the book so long as he was running DC.*whistles* Yet this same former editor and publisher, along with Dan DiDio, released the abominable Identity Crisis without a whisper of objection for their mainstream line of books. The irony is just stupefying.
Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.

An old Warren Ellis story about schoolyard shootings is being resurrected
It's been revealed that Vertigo is going to publish a previously unseen story by overrated Warren Ellis and Phil Jiminez called "Shoot" that dealt with schoolyard shootings and was nixed following the Columbine bloodbath in 1999. But if there's anything else about this news that really makes my jaw fall off my face in astonishment, it's what Ellis says about Paul Levitz:
Levitz is such a putz!
ReplyDeleteHe'll veto the unpublished Hellblazer issue and kick up a fuss about The Boys (before the move to Dynamite), but won't object to creative failures like Identity Crisis,the every crap story that followed and every asinine decision ever made by that manchild DiDio. Traitor!
