If writers are upset at DC, blame it on Dan Didio and Superboy Prime 'punching reality', cancelling out years & years of continuity.
Things go in cycles. Jim Shooter's heavy act during the 1980's drove a lot of talent from Marvel to DC. Joe Quesada by comparison seems Mr. Personable and knows how to woo good talent. Apparently though, he's not in favour of exclusive contracts, despite the number they have at Marvel.
interesting tidbit i learned today about a difference between marvel and DC. DC offers their writers "the list," which has every comic and trade and hardback coming out that month, and lets them pick which titles they want to have. they used to be able to get thirty copies of each, but apparently it's now down to ten because people were being shady with their copies. anyway, at the end of the month, each writer gets whatever issues they requested for free. ten to thirty copies of each. free.
marvel doesn't do anything like that. marvel's writers have to go out and buy their own copies of titles. bendis even said that he was missing one issue of mighty avengers, which he wrote, because he couldn't get it at a normal comic shop. he never got to see the final copy.
i don't think it's entirely relevant to the discussion, but it is interesting to see the writer appreciation DC shows that marvel doesn't.

In all fairness some of his drawings he doesnt look that bad, I just cant get over the first time I saw him and some guy tried to convince me he was hardcore. Yeah I am being a bit hard in the Sinestro Wars he looked ok.

Loeb's been putting out a lot of crappage, sure, but his Hulk run seems to be shaping into something good.
