The world seems like a terrible and strange place sometimes, but fandom still brings us together. Or at least gives us someone to unite against. These are strange times, but The Daily LITG is becoming a valuable way to quantify just what comic book geek culture is up to in this time of trial. Including a leaked letter from Eric Stephenson to Image Comics creators about DC Comics. Welcome all, to the daily Lying In The Gutters, a long-running run around the day before and the day ahead. You can sign up to receive it as an e-mail here.
Eric Stephenson and the ten most-read stories yesterday
It must be said that Image Comics publisher Eric Stephenson's written assault against DC Comics, leaked to Bleeding Cool yesterday and followed up everywhere must have been particularly hard for DC publisher Jim Lee, co-founder of Image Comics, to read. And was probably the true intended audience. Here's what else people were reading yesterday.
- "Hasty, Sociopathic Decisions" – Image Comics' Publisher On DC Comics
