Jim Crocker of Modern Myths, Inc., in Northampton, Massachusetts saw our report on the variant covers Darwyn Cooke is doing for 23 DC books in December (see "Darwyn Cooke Draws 23 Variant Covers for DC"), and suggested a change to our headline.
Just a quick note--you got the headline for DC's tiresome, cynical, and thoroughly repugnant Darwyn Cooke stunt wrong. Let me give it a shot:
"DC completely wastes talented artist by having him draw dozens of artificially-scarce stunt covers few fans will even be allowed to buy."
That doesn't bury the lead like you did in the actual piece.
