dewline: self-portrait, taken while drawing (Sketching)
Well, Newsarama writer Vaneta Rogers - or her editor(s) - used stronger language for the headline, but it fits.

This is something that's been with us all for a long time now. Generations of readers and professionals, in fact. And since a lot of people sit on both "fan" and "creator" sides of the ledger at once, it's more than a little galling. And one is hard-pressed to nail down which reasons more so than others...

I know I've called it quits as a reader with more than one title for at least a couple of the reasons in this list.

(But not over item # 3, the diversity question. I was particularly pleased with how Miles Morales, Connor Hawke and Jaime Reyes were brought into being, to name three examples )

Anyway, have a read. It might not tell you anything you don't already know, but then again, you might look at it with fresh eyes this time 'round.
