Check It Out – Dan DiDio’s Dumbest Idea Yet

It’s a bold superlative, I know – especially since we’re talking about the guy who greenlit the return of Jason Todd – but apparently DC’s executive editor is out to set some kind of a record for terrible and callously profit driven ideas. What crime of bad taste and poor judgment could be the crowning achievement in such an abysmal career?

How ’bout Watchmen enfranchisement?

“I Watch Stuff” is reporting that DiDio has made the expansion of the series his personal mission and the crux of his bid for the job soon to be left vacant by DC President Paul Levitz.

I wish I had some more snappy commentary to throw up here, but I’ve never been one for preaching to the choir, and I’d like to think you’re all singing harmony with me on this one.

About the Author

Michael Re is a freelance writer of both fiction and non-fiction, and story-telling has long been the proverbial monkey on his back. For the last few years, he’s worked as a critic of comics, film, and television, all the while toiling away at his own creative pursuits in an effort to always put his money where his mouth is. His most noteworthy accomplishments are as a song-writer, having co-written and performed on nearly a dozen records. He also watches entirely too much television, and is very glad for an opportunity to justify doing so. Michael is also an acting editor at In Genre.
