Maybe There's Hope For DiDio (And DC)

I'm reading a year-end interview with DC's Executive Editor, Dan DiDio, and he's actually showing some signs of realizing that mistakes have been made, especially in regards to Countdown and the delays on many of their flagship titles. I don't think he's ready to acknowledge just how bad things have been, but at least it's a start.

He also makes some very interesting comments about the importance and quality of The Sinestro Corps War storyline that just wrapped up:

"[The Sinestro Corps War] is actually the perfect example of how an event takes place now – it crosses across several books, drives a huge and important story for the line, and more importantly, you feel that the story has serious ramifications on the series and the story will not only be important to what’s going on right now, but also to the future of the character in the DC Universe. It has to feel like a natural progression of what was going on in the series to begin with."

and:

"Readers got so wrapped up with everything that was going on in [The Sinestro Corps War] that they would let everything else figure itself out, because the story is captivating and exciting. Honestly, it’s the best thing that we produced this year. Without a doubt."

At least he finally saw the (green) light...
