The quotes may be fake, but the content is certainly accurate in spots.

Look at the date, ya mooks.

One of the more obvious ones, it has to be said.

Like the best jokes, what makes it work is that there's truth in it.
Now, where are Winnick's and James Robinson's? Ooh, and a report on Ed Benes being arrested for obscene materials!
Look at the acknowledgement that we know it's a joke, ya mook. Originally Posted by StoneGold

There's no way this is the whole thing. Just a prelude, I'm sure. Originally Posted by thehod

I don't give a stuff what James Robinson has done recently. As long as I can curl up with Firearm, The Golden Age and Starman, he'll always be one of comics top writers in my book. Originally Posted by WorstThingUS

This one was my favorite. I like how the article managed to lightly poke fun at Meltzer AND the haters at the same time. Happy Birthday, Brad Meltzer, from somebody you helped introduce to mainstream comics!Brad Meltzer writes as if telling a suspenseful story, grounding it in emotional truth, and grandly entertaining the audience is all that matters in contemporary fiction. Until he writes solely for the critics who govern the so-called literary establishment, Meltzer will have to content himself with merely selling millions of books and making millions of devoted readers deliriously happy.

I don't think with Winick it would be a joke..at all. You really want to mess with him dig up Pedro's corpse and have it delivered with some flowers. Originally Posted by WorstThingUS
