DC Shake-Up

As you've no doubt read elsewhere, DC Comics is undergoing a huge shake-up, and things have yet to quite... shake-out (I know, shameless). I, like others, was going to bring you the story in the bits and pieces that filtered down to us regular folk, from DC's move of their entertainment division to Los Angeles, to their lay-offs, to their editorial changes (the release of three Vertigo editors and the appointment of Bob Harras to Editor-in-Chief, a title that has lain dormant for years at DC), but the truth is that none of it makes any sense!

Obviously, restructuring a large company like DC is going to take some time, and DC's publicity director is doing a good job of keeping their name in the headlines while this goes on, but -- like Lindsay Lohan (who went into rehab, BTW), and Paris Hilton, et.al. -- I don't want to keep bringing you the "salacious tidbits" of this and that when none of it really means anything yet. Partly because, so far, it's just a lot of hub-bub about nothing, and partly because I want my free-time to do things like lie around, lazily eating grapes fed to me by half-dressed, stoopid-hot chicks with ridiculous fans made from the feathers of extinct birds I reconstituted from DNA samples found in amber, then killed for their feathers (re-extincting them! YEAH!). And though I have neither grapes, nor stoopid-hot chicks, nor DNA samples in amber, nor ridiculous feather fans on-hand, I think you know what I mean.

For now, let's just leave it at, "DC's restructuring is larger than anyone outside the industry -- or even in the industry -- was apparently aware, and continues."

Thank you. Won't you?
