Greg Rucka, Dan DiDio & Geoff Johns – Daily LITG, 12th September 2025

Greg Rucka Vs Dan DiDio and Geoff Johns in The Daily LITG, for the 12th of September 2025

DC Comics' cancellation of Red Hood after the first issue was published was the most-read story on Bleeding Cool, yesterday. But coming up second was the revelations that Greg Rucka made about his time at DC Comics, notably working with Geoff Johns and Dan DiDio in John Siuntres' Word Balloon podcast. Lying In The Gutters is the daily runaround for the most-read stories the day before, as well as over the past seven years. Founded over sixteen years ago and steeped in a history of comic book industry gossip for a further eighteen years before that, Bleeding Cool has become one of the longest-standing and most well-known pop culture websites around. The Daily Lying In The Gutters remains a long-running run around the day before and possibly the day ahead. In summary, you can sign up to receive Lying In The Gutters as an email here.
