As far as Moore goes, i really wish he'd keep his gob shut when it comes to stuff like Blackest Night. The man has the gall to go after Johns for using his story as inspiration for what is shaping up to be a truly brilliant series, and yet Moore never hesitated to use other people's creations to suit his own end.
If he let his work speak for itself, i wouldn't mind. I've read some of his interviews, and his insights in to writing have helped me greatly. I just wish he'd have the good grace not to go after people.

people aren't imitating shit. johns took a couple of parts of Moore's Blackest Night stories, and added TONS of his own stuff, including the various coloured Corps and the Black Lanterns. Moore is talking out of his ass if he thinks Johns is imitating him.
By his logic, the people who's creations he took and manipulated to suit his own needs have as much right to be pissed at him as he does at Johns.

I don't actually think Johns is, but I can see where Moore has grounds to say that about other writers.
The problem is, Moore has become so disillusioned with modern comics that he doesn't often know precisely what he's talking about. Not out of ignorance, because he often puts it across as what he knows of, not what is fact.

so we agree he should just keep his nose out of it, then?
