Perhaps DC is one of those companies that starts-off producing one product and then gradually moves into another area of business altogether. I have read all the signs and I think DC are about to enter the tea trade.
Some conspiracy theorists say that ET – The Extra Terrestrial, was made in collusion with the US government, to prepare us for an announcement regarding the existence of aliens.
I think, in a similar way, Mike Carey has been chosen by DC to test the water. They want to know if the graphic novel buying public is ready to give up reading monthly comic books and spend their money on steaming mugs of tea instead.
It will begin slowly: Alan Moore will announce that he has taken comics as far as he thinks they can go, and plans to open a tea plantation in Nottingham.
Shortly afterwards, Wildstorm, will publish their last title. The imprint will be renamed: 'Wildstorm in a tea cup'.
The writers and editors will suffer terribly, as they adjust to a life of hard graft, working in the fields all day, sleeping in a barn at night, their soft uncallused hands adapting to the rigours of plucking the tips off of tea leaves.
The cover artists will find a new role as the painters of those collectors cards that you used to get in big boxes of teabags.
However even this will eventually turn to a life of drudgery, as for the umpteenth time they are asked to paint a Blue Whale leaping out of the water, or a Mexican Tree Climbing Rat.
Certain unpopular teas will be cancelled.
