that's 100% correct. I used to be a fan of his when he first started on Flash, and I noticed that as time went on he started pandering, his books started including nods to fans, fan-requested character returns, and in general it turned from a guy who wrote his stories to match what he wanted to a guy who wrote to get praise. And he also writes to please Wizard in a way I have never seen before. going so far as to name Miss Martian after a Wizard writer's girlfriend. Now it's all about getting praise and it's disgusting.
