For basically saying too much about editorial interference.

What I’m wondering now is what this will mean for the Milestone characters. As long as McDuffie was at DC, one had the sense that he would, at the very least, keep an eye on them and offer information about them when necessary. Now he’s gone and they’re part of the DCU now, so who knows what direction they’ll take? I’m not worried for McDuffie – he certainly doesn’t need DC and he’s got other things to keep him busy. Still, we all knew the day would come when he would leave DC, whether by his choice or not, and the Milestone characters would be completely on their own. Who at DC will care about them as much as McDuffie? I’m sure some creators will tell great stories with them, but as I made clear when the deal was first announced, history has proven again and again that in a situation like this – the properties of a smaller publisher being integrated into the line of a bigger publisher – the odds are that they’ll end up either marginalized or made bland. And they deserve better than that.
