Moments ago, DC Comics announced via their The Source blog that former Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief Bob Harras has been hired on as DC's new E-i-C. A longtime industry veteran, Harras has headed up DC's own collected editions department for the past several years. He served as Marvel E-i-C from 1995 to 2000 (the last person before Joe Quesada)


Why would DC want Harras, after he was losing money for Marvel before Quesada took over?

It seems an odd choice, and not the best one.

It's been ten years since Harras was Marvel's EiC. Maybe that additional ten years' experience leads to DC to believe he'll do a good job.

Eh, Harras may do an alright job. The two biggest gripes I can give about his tenure as EiC at Marvel was "The Clone Saga" and "Heroes Reborn." Sure, the Clone shit didn't start under him but, my God, he kept it going. And, of course, my other complaint is:



'Nuff said.

Big boobies Cap actually had cut into what was a good run by somebody too! Liefield's run was entertaining though in it's goofy badness.


Fair play!
