>>107176270Remember how during the 52 comic, this was back in... 2007? Anyway, remember how Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, and Mark Waid were being billed as the DC architects and then suddenly out of nowhere Rucka and Waid stopped working for DC? That's because Dan Didio fucked it up.
First he straight up hated the 52 comic. Legit fucking hated. How it was made, how the stories turned out, everything. Because he had no control whatsoever of it. He later tried to do Countdown HIS WAY and said that Countdown was 52 done right.
Then he promised Greg Rucka a OGN about Wonder Woman, only for later tell Rucka that was a no go because Morrison was going to do it. This ended up being Wonder Woman; Earth One. So Rucka quit because of a comic that Morrison didn't even felt like doing at that moment. Rucka only came back to DC during Rebirth because Didio begged him and promised complete control over Wonder Woman, which didn't last long and they ended up fighting again.
Then we all know about how much Didio fucked around with Waid over the Flash comic.
Lastly, he almost made Morrison quit several times over because he kept fucking with Final Crisis. First by bugging Morrison about how FC would end so he could make Countdown act as a prologue to it despite promising Morrison he'd not do precisely that. Then with the Death of the New Gods comic that he also tried to turn into a prologue. Then lastly by fucking up with Final Crisis itself was that was butchered to hell and back editorially.
