He's certainly bonkers, but that piece is a bit odd, too, what with calling him an "undisputed genius" who is "at the height of his cultural influence."
I mean, yes, they let him direct The Spirit... and it bombed. He did give us the Goddamn Batman, but that's still a level of influence well below Twilight Sparkle's.

What was the target dictionary and just plain

of the Superdictionary?
Somewhere out there is a giant with NO TEASPOONS.
That's why we need superheroes.
I hate getting trapped in a Cracked loop. I'm breaking free right now. Enough.

Cool -- thanks for that link. I gladly filled it out.
Glad to share. I pasted in my letter to the editor, as well as other "WHY??? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU GUYS???" verbiage.
Huh, it informed me I didn't qualify for the survey at the end. I guess they're metaphorically covering their ears and going "la la la" when respondents aren't buying any DC Comics.
I get that the pool they're looking for is about the 52 comics purchasers and how they feel about it. From the perspective of someone who's bought, I felt I got a lot of room to be specific about the titles I bought and those I intended to continue with, or not. There are a bunch of questions you couldn't have answered.
The really annoying thing about it is that DC sold so many comics this month, that this is going to be seen as a success. But Didio has done a really good job of alienating the fans, and alienating the talent; he's done some really major long-term damage to the brand. It may be years before it becomes apparent how bad the damage is. By then Didio will have been promoted or moved on, and he won't ever have to deal with the consequences of what he did.
