"It's fun and it's cool, so that's all that matters. It's what comics are for, Duh."
Words to live by.
I'm someone who believes that an artist's true colors will find their way into their work. The superhero genre revolves around morality, so it's a subject every writer has to deal with when they play the game-- That does not mean, however, that the writer is truly principled in their day-to-day life. They could just be writing genre conventions. For a long time, I've seen red flags from a certain creator through their body of work. Sounds like this creator is actually a manipulative bully who sets aside proper treatment of others when there is studio pressure on him to perform. Writers and readers should know that a person's true colors show when the chips are down.
RAY FISHER ACCUSES JUSTICE LEAGUE PRODUCER GEOFF JOHNS OF MAKING 'THINLY VEILED THREAT TO MY CAREER'
Really comes across as a corporate bootlicker.

Because the red flags I mentioned appeared in this creator's Green Lantern run, and because there's a long-running theory here that Didio, Johns, and Tomasi deliberately held Johns back in the comics when he was at his most well-known in the mainstream. Being a corporate bootlicker ties into that theory, as we've seen John featured more prominently since Didio got the boot.
If Bendis did something off, would it be weird to see an article about it in a Spider-man thread?

Cool, I disagree-- Creators come up in franchise/character threads all the time. Lovecraft's background is referenced in discussion about his work, J.K. Rowling's news stories are referenced in Harry Potter discussions, etc. As we've seen with GL franchise before, this stuff affects business and reprints.
