Boo on D.C.!!!!!!!!

Ugh. D.C. Comics can't even get their comic book house in order. How do they expect to get their film house in order?

From Comic Book Resources:

"I understand that, to celebrate Sandman's 20th Anniversary, Neil Gaiman was to write a "Sandman" mini-series. However, recently the project was pulled.

When asked, Neil told me, "We couldn't come to an agreement that would allow me to do a new six issue Sandman story for DC, and many people at DC and my agent tried hard to make it happen. Pity."

I understand that certain people at DC are quite upset - though not with Neil or his agent. Given the performance of the "Endless" hardcover volume, this could have been expected to be a No.1 best seller in the direct market for all six months and the No.1 in the bookstore bestseller lists."


-- Why D.C. is doing this is beyond me. The Sandman: Endless Nights was the first graphic novel to ever hit the NY Times Bestseller List. There is demand for more Sandman stories. This would have sold, and it would have sold a lot.

Incomprehensible.
