DiDio added that 52 was more of an Academy Award winning movie, and likened Countdown to a "summer blockbuster."

Is this the excuse they'll give when it all fails?

Interesting how DiDio pretty much confirmed that they're not even allowed to use the name "Superboy" in any way, shape, or form, not even in a convention like this.

 

[hippie_hunter]

This Superboy lawsuit is rediculous. DC should just suck it up, pay the Siegels and get it done with. That said, the Siegel estate is filled with greedy bastards.

And Coundown is getting renamed to Countdown to Final Crisis in issue #26

This Superboy lawsuit is rediculous. DC should just suck it up, pay the Siegels and get it done with. That said, the Siegel estate is filled with greedy bastards.

All these "estates" are filled with money grabbing greedy ****es that are living off the legacies of their husbands, dad, grandfathers etc and have done nothing to deserve any of what they get. It's the same with the Kane estate.

In the Siegel's case, it's the same as reparations. Just because he didn't get paid, doesn't mean you deserve to.

 

[Prognosticator]

Me likes what me hears so far!

 

[Kebab gud]

A fan asked the relatively hard-hitting question "If you could take back one editorial or policy decision in DC's history, what would it be?" DiDio said the whole panel should answer the question - Marts said "crippling Barbara Gordon," Jurgens said taking Superboy out of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Calafiore jokingly said "The Black Racer is the dumbest looking character," McKeever said killing Conner Kent, Beechen agreed with Jurgens' answer, Bedard said separating the DC Universe and the Vertigo lines, Gray said "cancelled The Monolith," Palmiotti answered "cancelling 21 Down," Dini said "the cancellation of Plop," Carlin answered not re-staring Superman and Wonder Woman right after the first Crisis. DiDio didn't really answer.

....... DANMIT.. i want him back..

A fan asked, “Will Darkseid play a role in the 'Sinestro War'?" DiDio responded, "When you have characters like Sinestro, the Anti-Monitor”…:”Superboy Prime" yelled out a fan, to which DiDio responded, "You can say that, I can't" and continued that Darkseid's presence will be felt throughout the DCU.

I must say I got chest pains from laughing

And int kinda cool to hear that their changing the name of Countdown..

 

[Darthphere]

**** people, seriously get the **** over it.

 

[Not Jake]

Is this the excuse they'll give when it all fails?

Hahaha. "You see DC readers, 52 was good, whereas Countdown is stupid."

I think the Siegels are worse than the Kanes. At least the Kanes aren't taking Batman out of the DC universe like Siegels pretty much done with Superboy.

The Siegels also tried to sue the WB over Smallville.

Exactly, the Kanes may be greedy, but they're nowhere near as bad as the Siegels.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

What about the Schusters and the Fingers?

 

[yenaled]

Cooke leaving Spirit



On another note the only thing that has piped my interest has been

"Will we see the DC One Million future again?" DiDio: "With Grant Morrison writing, yeah."

More Android Hourman maybe?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That sucks, but I'm also curious about who the new team is. Suppose a fantasmagorical writer and someone like Tim Sale came onboard? That could be almost as good as Cooke's run.

 

[Darthphere]

I'm going to kill myself.

Don't play games with my heart.

[BrianWilly]

Madame Xanadu Vertigo series. Could be interesting for anyone looking for more of moody abstract (read: emo) mystic Vertigo stuff.

 

[BrianWilly]

I am actually Brian Littrell. Thought I might as well just lay it out in the open.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I specifically avoided phrasing it the same way as that stupid song.

 

[Darthphere]

I'm seriously depressed by Cooke leaving The Spirit. Can't a writer/artist stay on a book longer than 12 issues. ****.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Brubaker's been on Cap for almost 30.

 

[Darthphere]

Brubaker's been on Cap for almost 30.

That whole book is an exception to every rule made by man.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

DeFalco's been on Spider-Girl for like 5 million issues.
