I think it's best summed it up as: "It's unfortunate that DC's heavy editorial hand has driven away so many talented people. It's a godsend that DC's heavy editorial hand has driven away Rob Liefeld."
The 52 Reboot strategy had potential: dial back some of the insular editorial tendencies (grim, sexist, overly convoluted plotting, etc.) while bumping sales. Instead it's a retrenchment of the same but cheaper and sloppier with a higher cover price. I suspect it's more cost effective to milk the established market until it dies, but does not being a disorganized dickhead really cost much more?
