Lucas Siegel, editor of Newsarama ran a series of tweets today,

I am baffled by how a major publisher, when asked for interviews, can say "No, we're not letting that be covered until April". Ridiculous.

"We'd really rather you not cover our products" seriously? I just.. insane. — Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) March 3, 2014

@RyanAJoseph Yes, well, you can probably guess by the fact that we've had a ton of marvel coverage lately and not so much… ahem — Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) March 3, 2014

@RyanAJoseph at least 4 requests so far.

@mypalsammy Yup, and they're not gonna love what we do instead. :)

Yes, they are talking about DC Comics. Who recently ran Newsarama print ads and whom DC gave that lovely 3D cover scoop just last week.

Oh look, it's Siegel vs. DC Comics again.

My knowledge of DC's history with Newsarama is sketchy, though the departure from DC's press department of ex-Newsarama's Alex Segura can't have helped.

Though it may have helped their attitude to Archie Comics, where Segura ended up.
