I nominate Joe Kubert. He's been a proven professional longer than most people have been alive, and he's been running his school for over 30 years now. Plus, he looks like he could open up a can of whoop-ass on anyone who gives him a problem.

I heard Jerry Robinson is a creative consultant at DC these days. Is this just pandering, or is DC actually trying to or planning to get some kind of heroic ideal back into their characters?

Roger Stern as EIC makes the most sense to me. He's still young enough to deal with the bullshit and close enough to the creative side and influential enough to convince the creators to refocus the creators. Then again, I don't know what kind of personality he is. I assume he's a well-spoken, intelligent man who understands comics. NOT being a toady is a big strike against him, I suspect.

That would require a time machine or Kirby's resurrection.
Even so, they would just spoil everything again.

I wish we could clone Stan Lee and give the job to his clone.

Sounds like a role for Nick Nolte.

Too goodlooking. All those years Roger spent as an Ultimate Fighting
heavyweight really messed up his face.
