(I went there on my own, and discovered that she's not concerned about D.C. messing with Keith Giffen, because she never reads him, anyway. Oh well ....)

Wow, adding a hyphen really can change someone.

Okay, Kevin, what is that?

Lenny: If she doesn't read or care about Giffen, why should I bother to fix the link? And while we're on the subject, what is DC doing to him?

Aquila's right about the hyphen, of course...

No reason to fix the link, other than neatness. DC's not firing Giffen and DeMatteis, or anything -- just taking some of their best characters away in a kind of heavy-handed way. See here for a spoiler-guarded comment, and here for a non-guarded one.

Giffen says that what DC's done doesn't bother him much, although he wouldn't have done it, that way, himself. (The interview has spoilers, so you may want to read the comic book, first, before going there.)
