Mark Waid Vs. Dan Jurgens Over The New 52est Title

We've got a thriller on the Twitter going on this evening between Marvelous Mark Waid and Daring Dan Jurgens over a perceived slight about the New 52… with special guest appearance by Pounding Patrick Zircher. All over the following book:

Wow. Only the FCBD and 1st issue in and, already, FUTURES END is the New 52est "New 52" comic E-V-E-R. Wow.

@MarkWaid Thanks, Mark! @brianazzarello, @JeffLemire, @PatrickZircher and the rest of the team really appreciate the compliment! — Dan Jurgens (@djjurgens) May 6, 2014

@djjurgens @brianazzarello @JeffLemire @PatrickZircher You're welcome, though it was neither a compliment nor a jibe. Simply an observation.

@MarkWaid @brianazzarello @JeffLemire @PatrickZircher Oh, I know exactly what it was.

— Dan Jurgens (@djjurgens) May 6, 2014

@djjurgens @brianazzarello @JeffLemire @PatrickZircher I…don't think you do, exactly. I do respect the career-long talent of the creatives

— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) May 6, 2014

@djjurgens @brianazzarello @JeffLemire @PatrickZircher I'll rephrase: if you believe it was a criticism of the talent involved, you misread.

— Mark Waid (@MarkWaid) May 6, 2014

@djjurgens @MarkWaid @brianazzarello @JeffLemire We love you, Mark. Now go away.

— Patch Zircher (@PatrickZircher) May 6, 2014

@djjurgens @MarkWaid @brianazzarello @JeffLemire Oh, wait. Was Mark saying something nice?

— Patch Zircher (@PatrickZircher) May 6, 2014

@MarkWaid (reads kind of snarky, kind of very snarky)

— Patch Zircher (@PatrickZircher) May 6, 2014

@PatrickZircher @djjurgens @brianazzarello @JeffLemire Mark was observing how it's a distillation of all things 52. Could be a compliment.

A few fans tried to jump into the fray at this point but the battle seems to have calmed down for now.
