I'm not seeing much controversy either.
But I'm still expecting more of these books getting made then I think people are assuming.

Yeah, the winner's the only one guaranteed to get made, but that doesn't mean the other 15 pitches go straight in the bin.

As David Walker said DC DOES research.
The 3rd most popular character in all demographics and gender was CYBORG. How did THAT work out?
Where was he in this?
I agree with Nite-Wing this was stupid. Not everyone uses Twitter or Instagram.
How many of those folks are going to BUY these books that were voted on?
Heck DC would have been better doing like Boom and others have done and kickstarting books to get made.
Just say the funds are paying for it to get printed. DC handles the payments to the creative teams.
Do a set of variants that ONLY those who kickstart will get.
Heck if they all get funded-more the better.
If they are one of the folks who HATED diverse books and if voting for a Batman book keeps JLQ from getting made-they care.Do they really care that much to make "Batman" win when he's not even a main character or might only appear in flashbacks?
If they are store owners who already know or ASSUME a Blue Beetle or JLQ will not sell in the store and a Batman book will-guess what happens. Sure they can just not order JLQ or Ambush Bug but they want something to order.
Those are two of the types of folks this attracts.
Keanu Reeves Kickstarter comic is doing insanely well and getting a netflix show
If the industry shifts to a crowdfunding sort of deal to avoid bad contests like this then I won't feel too bad
Any updates for us non-US folks who can't access the DC online platform?
