Because DC loves you

September 22, 2004 by David Welsh

How can DC best thank its loyal readers for making Identity Crisis a smash hit? Why, they can re-release the first issue with an obscured version of the ugly cover! Read all about it at Newsarama.

I think Rags Morales is a very talented penciler, and all the luck in the world to him, glad he has a hit on his hands, etc., but he’s got to stop saying things like this:

“…the miniseries’ success shows how intelligent our audience and retailers are — literature really works in comics!”

It’s not an adaptation of Atonement or Proof or The Life of Pi. It’s not “the little indie book that could.” It’s DC’s summer blockbuster. Leave Literature out of it. You’re making it cry.
