Bad News at DC

Well, supposedly something bad is going to happen at DC soon. I wonder if it's Dan Didio losing his job. I really wouldn't mind. Yes, a lot of his problems were beyond his control, but he needed to have a firmer plan and better editorial judgment. He's not a comic guy, he's a TV guy. He tried to bring in his entertainment buddies and they blew it. Alan Heinberg on the relaunch of Wonder Woman. The TV guys on the relaunch of Flash. Bringing in the Kuberts brothers (who know they would bail on him so dramatically?) Maybe not all his fault, but he's the head. I think the Chuck Dixon thing will be the final card for Paul Levitz. Coutodwn was Didio's baby and it was a dramatic failure, especially with Grant Morrison distancing himself from it. It was Countdown to Final Crisis, right? And all of those Countdown minis were for what? I keep thinking back to Countdown Arena and wondering what the point was. It will be nice to see them get some direction from whomever takes over.
