Reading the Tea Leaves: Bob Harras Named...
via TechlandYesterday, DC Entertainment announced that its comics division’s new editor-in-chief was Bob Harras. A couple of things immediately seemed curious about that appointment. One was that DC hadn’t actually had an editor-in-chief since Jenette Kahn (who held the position for 22 years) left in 2002. The other is that Harras has already been an editor-in-chief: he held that...

The latest reason: They done crossed the...
