Few points:
interesting that Countdown got a lukewarm reception. Possibly the first time that's happened at a convention? I dunno?
I hate DiDio's self aware ''look at me! I'm the guy who dares to kill people!"-schtick. It's just embarassing somehow.
Shame about all-Star Superman; I'd assumed Morrison and Quitley would have hung around after the initial 12 months.
I'm disappointed at how they've neglected Morrison's version of the Joker after the prose issue of Batman he did.
"Will Ollie survive his wedding, given that there are plenty of replacement “Green Arrows” running around the DC Universe a fan asked. DiDio asked Jones if Ollie was in the Wedding Planner, to which Jones replied with a yes. DiDio’s non-answer answer caused some murmurs among the crowd."
The fact that he doesn't state if Ollie survives the wedding + the covers for those issues = not a good sign in my book, even if all it means is a few months of ''is Oliver Queen dead? isn't he?..oh..2 months later - no he isn't."
I'm quite hopeful about DiDio's reassurance that the death's aren't being done randomly and that there will be "four deaths and a wedding in 2007" Of course, this is undermined by the deaths of the new gods in general so...god knows.
