Is anyone at WC12?

Because I'm getting really sick of these softball questions for DC.

Lord I wish I was there. I would definitely ask about the craft failings on Static Shock and Mister Terrific for starters.

Who picked up Saucer County?

If you did, what did you think about it?

If you didn't, I would recommend that you go back to your LCS and do so. Saucer County was definitely one of the underrated gems of the week, as there are a lot of elements that I think many a reader would love to sink their teeth into. Definitely recommended if you're looking for something that's going to force you to put your big boy/big girl cap on to appreciate it all.

Or better yet, why don't I take some advice from Alan Moore and work on my creations. It'll be time better spent.

I'm all over that. Had a few discussions with some creators about my premise at Con's and got some Promising feedback so I mostly lurk here and check the weather, get put up on some game (brotherman just went up on my to get list been sleepin on that one) and try to get some pages down on my idea...

Hey, have you guys heard of the Will Smith/M. Night Shyamalan film, "After Earth"? my sister showed me a picture of Jaden [Smith] in the film (or at the very least a promotional image) and the premise from the brief description sounds interesting enough.

I have not. It does sound interesting.

I thought it was pretty good. Interesting enough that I'll be back next issue.

I picked it up, but I haven't read it yet. March Madness throws off my reading habits. Cornell says that this is his baby as far as comics and Ryan Kelly is always great, so I expect great things.

Look at this thread http://forums.comicbookresources.com...1#post14868961

I mean why can't people talk about race and not feel we are accusing them of something. It's amazing. We are always accused of being "subliminal" when really we are just exploring an idea that's rarely discussed.

I just read it now....and I'm literally going "wow" at it all. And the reply you linked to was way off when it's plain as day that it's not subliminal at all and about a valid topic worth discussing.

Well thanks. Lol I mean I don't expect for someone to admit that they are being a wuss. But at the same time I think people have these preconceived notions of racial conversations. That they think they are just a series of inflammatory accusations. It's a damn shame really.

I have it as I saw the preview in a free Vertigo sampler I got a couple months ago and I loved that preview. I hope to get around to it on sunday as work and school took over today( friday ) and will again tomorrow( saturday )

Personally, I want to know how much DC has actually changed since the relaunch.

Maybe some insight on what happened on certain books like Static, Firestorm and others where there were creative changes on the fly? Did they check some of those reader polls like the one CBR used, and if that either affected how they marketed and handled the initial 52 or the next set of books? Did they notice the reader reactions/reviews for their books throughout the initial months, and if that meant anything to sales. What did they learn via the sales and cancellation, if anything?

And on the minority front, how much does a diverse work environment and creative teams mean to them? Do their current state reflect that, in terms of books, characters and creative roster? How much do the cancellations mean to them, and what is DC's next course of action is when it comes to minority led titles, after all of them got low sales except Batwoman?

I wish someone could ask Marvel similar questions.

in terms of diverse work environment Didio is just gonna give that same bullshit "We look to hire the best people" statement that he gave last year.

And can someone PLEASE ask him what he means by that?

Like, how much does networking come into play, or are you willing to check any published work? How personally subjective is it, or do you look towards the acclaim of others? Which mediums are looked at, do people working within the WB conglomerate have better odds than anyone else? Does WB have an influence? What rates these people's work?
