And Some Days The Bear Gets You?

When a new line of goofy toys from Todd McFarlane's company make the front cover of Previews and DC's "please oh please god this needs to work"/"all my money on 28 black" maxi-series Final Crisis is on the back, one can't help but wonder if a) someone at Diamond is a major league comedian, or b) DC has run afoul of Diamond's need to satisfy one of its contractually obliged cover offerings. I hope it's the latter. I always thought that quota system horribly backwards and unfair, an embodiment of an outlook that looks at Diamond's services as something to be bid upon rather than a series of enhancements to be used in partnership with its publishers.
