This is a very dissapointing site!!! I was searching for editorial news then this came out!!! what the hell is this?!!! it doesn’t even contain animes!!!

Well, Clarice, I can smell your...

Anyway!
I feel for Mister Dixon. This may be the first time I've heard of someone in comics being fired for doing their job BETTER than required. If this is because Robin is becoming 'Damien' and Robin / Tim Drake is becoming Batman (just speculating...), couldn't DC have had an editorial block on the splash page that says "The events within take place before the events of 'BATMAN R.I.P.'" and had Damien have his own maxi-series? I mean, status quo is slated for 2010 according to Morrison (at least that's how I read it). This could have been easily resolved.

RE: Morrison Final Night / C2FC / DoNG
UGH! We don't know what really happened there. Someday we will, but not yet. Paul Dini is NOT the horrible writer that Countdown to Final Crisis would lead one to believe. He's not the idea man that Morrison is, but he's certainly one of the best 'classic' style mainstream comics writers today. Something stinks there. That said, I'm RELIEVED that Morrison isn't following it because COUNTDOWN IS ONE OF THE WORST COMIC EVENTS EVER. I didn't even bother with DoNG. That cover to the last issue just says "Don't Buy This Very Embarrassing Comic".

But i do know dat i love Dixon comics back to the 90s... when i heard he was leaving... it make me pretty sad.
I grow up reading the Alan Grant-Norm Breyfogle, Dixon-Barreto, Moench-Jones Batman... i know they were others time... but i miss that kind of histories, specially Dixon 90s histories... you knew pretty well what was going on, how the characters was and you knew that the writers treated the characters in the same way, no matter if they were in others issues...

Now... many dc´s comics are pretty crappy, each writer do whatever he want... robin in teen titans has no relation with the Batman or Detective comics robin or the Regular collection Robin... for giving an example.

I feel sometimes that some writers make histories only to sell, waiting for the next freat crossover or great crisis...

any way..
i will miss ya mr Dixon...

Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Didio, in a nutshell.

" Previous to this, most of DC's more energetic, vibrant and "cool" books were from Wildstorm, on the other side of the country. Their lauded "Batman" revamp was safe - it gets the sales but reviews have not been glowing. But just how many times can you revamp a character by getting Jim Lee to DRAW it? "

Corporate hubris is like that.

Because it's TRUE.

And John Nee gets fired.

Fucking God.

It's like they're gonna be taking everybody down to clean up the mess of Mr. Dan.

DC is NOT really the best thing happening to comics at the moment.

But then, they're just, like, continuing from the shitpile of where they were in the late '90s - that point where they unceremoniously flipped off Mark Millar, et al from doing anything with their Superman titles, & therefore signing their death warrant early, with the eventual creation of Ultimate X-men books and such. It was really then and there where they've brought down their stock, it seems. And I don't think they've ever fully learned from any of that. So much so that the only thing they've figured is to artificially emulate the beats of what was making Marvel work - without the actual authentic vision, geniune enthusiasm, or tenacity for substantial change. Sure the Bill Jemas/Joe Quesada era had their faults and all, but given the vapid nature of the lazy one-stop-solution, it's no surprise their mistakes are relentlessly perpetuated into DC's side of the business, with no end in sight. Because it was all vapid, and souless, and without direction, and it shows.

Seriously, this walking editorial malfeasance is a corporate carbon cut-out of the good that Marvel was at when they started hitting it big again, with NONE of the good. To not say that they're completely wartless ( their current ' deal with the devil ' Spiderman bullshit is an undeniable banality ) , but they ARE 50 % up from DC in sales terms. Maybe these are some things to think about....

Dan Didio always came across to me as this cheap, second-rate attempt by DC to get their own Bill Jemas/ Joe Quesada , back when they were firing on all cylinders ( shame how the mainstream bookstore sales were unable to keep up , though ). Done in one; who merely embodies the ‘ quick fix’ nature of that judgement. I mean, look at him. Ever since he came to D.C., the only strategy he can apparently come up with is to pick the successful gimmick at the moment, and run it mercilessly down the ground. Joe Quesada puts superstar, high-profile talent at Marvel’s top properties, Dan Didio puts Jim Lee on Batman - THEN in Superman, the alternate covers for Infinite Crisis, that aborted MMO….. Joe Quesada signs up top-flight talent into exclusive deals, Didio raids the entire creative pool. Quesada goes realpolitik in the stories, Didio rams THAT all the way to Sue Dinby’s rape-slay. Joe Quesada makes the mutants dead, Didio obliterates his ENTIRE FUCKING LINE ! Then, the endless superhero deaths ( done with such impunity, its threatening Batman ), the forced weekly comic shtick, the audacious multi-part crossovers, the continued cannibalizing of ‘ Crisis on Infinite Earths ‘……
This guy has no imagination. He’s a dull corporate ad man who goes for the bottom line with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Not exactly my definition of a ‘ smart man ‘. Apologies to Mr. Ellis.

Next time just write - I heart marvel - I mean, why bother with such a one-sided account?

I think everybody at DC needs a copy.

On this thread at Dixonverse (via The Beat), he lets us know that:...

Though now I'm scratching my head in wonder about the news of the editor of Robin moving over to Marvel? Wha?
