Warren Ellis is a pretty fantastic guy. Besides being one of the best comic writers in the industry, he’s also one of the funniest people in the industry as well as one of the most devastating with his language. By that, I mean he can destroy a person’s soul in 140 characters better than most could with years and years of effort (I should know, I was on the receiving end once).
Today on his site, he made a quick post on the upcoming DCnU launch that might go down in comics history as one of the most incredible backhanded compliments ever. See below:
The New DC comics stuff looks so much like stuff I would never read that it oddly fills me with hope that they are targetting the core audience they want. If a 43-year old man looks at most of this promo stuff and goes meh, then that’s very probably a good sign for them. Best of luck to Dan D, Jim L et all for the imminent relaunch.
Delightful.
