DC said nothing, which I felt was a the correcct response, and everyone said why don't they deny it if it isn't true...and now they have denied it several times and people are still insisting it is true... I'm going to keep going back to the point I have made all along, the reason I have never believed the rumor...is that it doesn't fit Shooter's rep...at all. It's exactly the opposite of what his rep is.... And of course, the fact that the Action Legion was back before Shooter was. It was a back a year before he was......so he knew full well that the possiblities were. And as a former EIC and publisher he'd be a lot less clueless about that sort of thing that any other writer in the industry. And oh yeah...Shooter's not the type to remain silent when he is disgruntled about something either... Shooter never goes quietly into that good night...as evidenced by his axe grinding against Carl Icahn and Ron Perelman in the most recent issue of the Legion.

Meaning, let's say you print a rumour about DC Comics. DC Comics has two possible responses they can make. If they say, "It's not true and you're an effing liar," then it's a denial and the rumor's not true. If they say, "I won't dignify that with a response," or, basically, anything else, it's a non-denial denial and the rumour may very well be true. [/b] Exactly. In fact, Dan DiDio didn't even say Shooter is for the long run, he said "those rumors he left and came back have no validation". And no word on why the main book is completely on the loop here.
