Abhay Khosla's Case Against Dan Didio.
Probably not news to most comics goons, but nice to see it all documented in one place like this.

Am I mis-remembering or didn't Didio have an affair with an artist's wife some years back? And that artist allegedly tackled him at a convention when he found out?

There was a fairly persistent rumor around the time of Final Crisis, that Didio had an affair with JG Jones's wife, which was why he didn't finish out the series. Insofar as I'm aware that rumor was never substantiated, but I believe she did work with DC in a position fairly close to Didio at the time.

Has JG worked for DC since then? The BSS mod at the time basically threw the hammer down and said the topic was forbidden so there was no discussion of it here.

So Superman #52 is supposed to be out this Wednesday too, right? The conclusion to the whole "Superman is dying" story? Any idea if I should read that or Rebirth first? I've managed to stay spoiler free so far and I'm hoping to make it until the end.

The read order is Superman #52, Superman Lois & Clark #8 and then Rebirth #1.

So in case anyone cares

Read Justice League #50, the Superman L&C #8, then Superman #52 and then DC Rebirth #1.

Something that was heavily hyped by the publisher and then then didn't follow through at all. They even sent out emails to retailers promising this revelation would be enormous and urged us to triple our orders.

Oh, I didn't catch this. You disagree that this isn't a huge revelation? My argument is that this is bigger than any one true identity could be. It changes the Joker mythos more than a name ever could, and raises so many questions. Why? How? When? And of course the original Who?, but that is no longer a concern, really. The Joker just became a legacy, like Batman has been.

I'm not saying this isn't a big reveal, the issue is they hyped it as one thing and then gave us another.

Weird, since it's fairly clear that that reveal was intended just for Justice League #50.

Actually, it's more than a bit odd that Rebirth just recapped the Joker and Wonder Woman reveals without advancing them at all.

The hype and urge to increase orders was all centered on JL #50, sorry if I was not clear.

80 page book for $3 is a deal but not very profitable for them. They shot out an email detailing the breakdown, the book was originally going to be $4.99.

Agreed. But somebody at DC has a major boner for him so Tim gets brushed aside as a result. Tim Drake, an actual legitimately great character.

If I was Alan Moore right now I would be reaching out to DC with an offer to take the reins and do and actual Watchmen sequel. Loads of conference calls and virtual meetings and plans. Then when the courier delivers his hand typed manuscripts to Dan Didio's office he opens it in excitement to find 300 pages Moore carefully took the time to squat over and SHIIIIIIIIT.
