Bendis' quote of the month from Powers

[JoeE]

"You put a bunch of immature men, many of whom were very sick as children or had absent fathers or both, and all of whom escaped into over-muscled power fantasies as a result, in charge of a publishing subgroup with no prestige and little money. Several of them have never worked anywhere else, or if they have, it was at one of the few similar companies in the same industry that behave the same way. They’re still geeks, mentally, with low self-esteem and no success with women, few of whom they actually know in person, but they’re power brokers within their little world, and there are thousands like them who desperately want to be them… and you wonder why it all ends up so twisted?" - Johanna Draper Carlson

I laughed.

Was that a quote about Image Comics?

[Brian Reed]

Was that a quote about the video game industry?

[Daryl Densmore]

I think it's about DC from the blog that was covered in Lying in the Gutters a couple months ago.

[JoeE]

Specifically the quote was brought up in reference to DC, but she was talking about corporate superhero comics in general.
