Dan Didio vs. Joe Quesada

Hard to say who is really better 😬

I think DC gives their creators more control over their stories and what they do with their work, however I also hate this continuous rush into the next Crisis.

Also, I hate how Didio took so long to get a new writer on the Flash after the awful relaunch, but it also shows that DC does listen to their fans.

Where as at marvel, they are constantly trying to cover their asses when they make a mistake. Seriously, how much is it going to take to get Joe Q to make Ult. X-men not be awful?

But a good thing about Marvel is that they are always trying new things with their big events. The only time Marvel ever tried the same type of event twice was with Secret Wars II which was awful so they they learned their lesson with it.

Honestly though, if Image had better books other than whatever Robert Kirkman is writing I would probobly just ditch the big 2 altogether

Here's a competition to settle it.

Sit Dan Didio & Joe Quesada at one side of a table, in a nice boardroom.

On the other side, sits Alan Moore. 😱 Yes, the scary genius himself.

The first one to convince Moore to work again for their company wins.
Moore has a serious axe to grind against both Marvel & DC, real & imagined. They would have to do the sell job of their lives to change his mind, I believe.
This could be pay-per-view or a reality show special; I'd watch it, to see how much they'd grovel to get him. 😈

Yeah, well I'm just using them for comparison, as sub-par events go.

What a lame comparison.

Neither the Skrull thing or Amazons Attack are the events worth following in their respective company. For Marvel its WWH and DC its Sinestro Corp.

Even then, using how much we like WWH and Sinestro Corps to decide who's better is pretty dumb... then this thread is just DC vs. Marvel anyways, unless we get into how Didio and Quesada specifically altered it, and what ideas they shot down.

As good of a writer as Moore is, I would never want to spend a minute with the man. He's pretty much batsh*t insane

I didn't want this specifically to be DC vs. Marvel. Their are lots of threads like that. It's about their two public figureheads, and their decision making.

A very long interview with Didio for his plans in 08:

That Superman cover is breath taking

Indeed cool artwork. ✅

Dan Didio ftw, I can't stand Joe.

Both have made some reasonably controversial decisions, but I think Quesada has bigger testicles especially with events like Civil War (regardless of whether you like it or not) it definitely altered the state of the MU. All I see Didio do is kill off character after character.

However in a straight up physical fight, Didio would win, he's got no hair on his head = tough man.

Hmpfh, Quesada takes it by a mile for me, he takes chances with new books that I would never see Didio giving the okay to.

I also don't trust men with moustaches.

Didio have taken quite a lot of chances with killing characters. The man have balls...brains and other stuff is up to debate. 😉

I may dislike DC in general but Quesada's responsible for the crucifixions that are sins past and one more day!

Nuff Said!

At least Marvel has the guts to do these things and make changes (for better or worse) DC don't make any large company changes unless it has the word "Crisis" in the title.

The reaction was positive though....

As a result of that change we got the Sinestro Corps.

It did paid off in the end.

(well, that does it for me. Gotta watch the Pats vs. Giants game)

Later.

They just completely changed the Green Lantern mythos with Rebirth and SC.

That's true and I think generally DC do have better artists on their titles at the moment. The guy who drew Batman's Island of Dr Mayhew storyline was funky and original, plus Ivan Reis art on Sinestro Corps was beautiful ✅
