But truthfully being fired and then rehired in a lesser position is equivalent to being punched in the gut and then hit in the head while bending over from the pain of the first blow. My heart goes out to you Paul sorry you’re making like 60% less than you were yesterday. Ironic that the guy who fought for creator rights is the guy that gets hosed later on. Gotta hate Corporate America I’m delighted he’ll be returning to telling tales about the Legion of Super-Heroes as he was my absolute favorite writer of them dating all the way back to 1974 when I started reading Superboy.

The new DC Entertainment would be wise to still call on him as a counsultant though.

They "buy" the catalog not the people that helped to make it an attractive commodity in the first place. Ousting Paul Levitz and demoting him to writer is the single worst heinous act they possibly could have done. Of course, he has to be positive about it to the media as that would be part of any severance package he was given, saying anything negative would revoke the package and he's out of any further monies. I'm delighted he'll be returning to telling tales about the Legion of Super-Heroes as he was my absolute favorite writer of them dating all the way back to 1974 when I started reading Superboy.

The whole point being how well DC/Levitz take care of their creators versus other companies. Seems like a good guy, glad things are going the way he wants. Wish him all the best.

While it's sad to see him stepping down as publisher/president of D.C., at the same time I'm enthused to see him continuing working relation with D.C. and the new D.C. Entertainment deal. I'm also hyped to see he'll be writing again. All the best to Paul Levitz! ;) I’m feeling a bit torn in a way of this.

However, most people recognize that Len Wein is the person responsible for starting the British invasion. He first brought talent like Alan Moore to DC. Karen Berger worked for and was trained by Len and, of course, Vertigo sprang from Len's creation, Swamp Thing. This is a fine article and tribute to Paul.
