Finishing it in Pen

So I haven't talked much about the very bad comics being put out by DC for a while. Just don't see much point. The people that like it are so convinced that they like it (sometimes as a reaction to the people that don't like it) that they're not going to look at it critically, and the last thing I need is to slap high five with the rest of our pathetic little world. BUT, I was just browsing through Newsarama's interview with the great Dave Gibbons whereupon he said the following:

There were certain things that DC wanted to have happen, so it was a question of coming up with a framework that accommodated everything and then fleshing out the details. Things were crowded and intricate, and it often felt like compiling a crossword puzzle!

Which gives me the opportunity to say, "And reading their editorially-driven crossover books is about as fun as reading a finished crossword puzzle."
