FOOL: That DC Comics Creator Survey In Full
Last week, Bleeding Cool ran details on the survey being sent out to DC Comics talent, sixty questions to fill in and return, anonymously, so DC can understand better the rel feelings of DC folk working for the publisher. Thanks to the anonymous DC comic book creator who sent these questions in, despite the note about them being Top Secret and Confidential, as well as other competing generous offers.
@MarkWaid Ugh…really? That's…i don't know…not cool?
