August 23, 2012 7:33 pm It's an interesting question. DiDio is a far more prominent publisher than Buckley is at Marvel. in fact he is still the public face of the company. That's why i feel that he is still the one calling the shots. I don't think Diane Nelson would have much input in the particulars of DC's relaunch. She would have approved the relaunch but at that level you have to trust the people beneath you. Her failing is to have been sold on Didio. I mean the only explanation I can imagine Didio gave for the tanking line is that Levitz didn't let him reboot and that continuity was making it too hard for him. I don't blame Didio for failed relaunches of Flash and Wonder Woman and Superman in the past. Marvel relaunches fail too (Punisher, Defenders). I blame him because the ideas at the heart of his relaunches were so obviously feeble that it is obvious to everyone that it is wrong with one or two issues. I mean WTF was the pitch behind the latest relaunch of Green Arrow? or Hawkman? or Deathstroke? Whether you like Marvel relaunches of Punisher or Defenders I find that at the least their is a strong core to the concept.

August 22, 2012 8:25 pm I'm no fan of Liefield but the problems with DC are root and branch problems with editorial and management at DC. I remain convinced that Didio has very bad instincts

August 22, 2012 8:23 pm Harras may be part of the problem but the problem precedes Harras. The NuDC reeks of the same mess that mired Didio's stink as EIC.

July 11, 2012 7:46 pm Why is this a surprise? this is par for the course for DC

June 28, 2012 11:44 pm It's interesting. i have mixed feelings about his work on Thor. I think at least some of the negative feedback he gets is becasue he's trying to move Thor back into the magical rather than magic as another form of science (e.g. Tony sacrificing his sobriety to Odin). But I think there have been some problems. I quite enjoyed the Galactus seed arc and i liked the idea of the Tanarus arc but nothing happened to Thor in the afterlife. He was in some boat and then hit Demigorge's heart. I dunno. I hear he's wrapping up his run so I'll see it out but it hasn't live up to the Ages of Thunder mini
