Mark Waid wrote:"The 'net hate over [Final Crisis] is unlike anything I've seen in a long, long time, and it's only fueled by the fact that DC editorial staffers were making fun of Grant in public ON THE NYCC DC PANEL, which is really reprehensible and unprofessional behavior. Really, you'd think Grant had somehow Destroyed DC Comics. I'm cranky about it on Grant's behalf, because I generally believe that hate and vitriol should be reserved for people who deliberately try to do you harm, not people who try and sometimes fail to entertain you."

damn, sounds like Moose Baumann is pissed as hell at Didio, and apparently a bit miffed at van Sciver too. "lost" his phone number, huh?

At least, he's got the Blackest Night gig, though.

And is doing another project with Johns after Blackest Night that isn't GL related according to an article last week on rama.

Waid's right. Hate on the work all you want, but keep it in perspective.

Man, Didio really fucked up with regards to Moose Baumann huh? He's a pretty damn good colourist, especially with DC's standards, I wonder what happened? Did Didio sleep with his wife too?

Also, Waid is right, but Final Crisis still sucked balls.

Not surprising given last year with what they did to the poor guy. Sad to hear him and Ethan are on sour roads. They seemed like the best of friends.

Final Crisis=Sins Past, quality wise?

It was worse, Sins Past was bad, but it was straight up bad, simple.

Final Crisis was so confusing that you had to think about it, and once you'd worked it out, it was still really bad, so not only was it bad, but it wasted your time even more.

I wouldn't go that far. Sins Past was a horrible idea while Final Crisis was a possibly good idea done as bad as possible. What not to put in a comic vs. how not to write a comic.
