I remember when DC was the colossus and Marvel was the scrappy 
underdog.  Back in those halcyon days I hated everything DC and 
secretly plotted their demise.  Forty years later, to hear DC Comics 
is dying makes me feel...giddy!

Later, the Brain and I are going to do the same thing we do every 
night — try to take over the world!

about his work on "Final Crisis" (the ending in particular, and what 
he hopes fans will take away from the conclusion of the story), he 
says, "I hope they''ll take away a sense of how much they love the DC 
universe. Because there are the two camps... and Marvel is a colossus 
right now. To me, the DC Universe dying is almost how it felt to be at 
DC. There was just a sense that Marvel was just getting bigger and 
bigger and bigger."

Crisis", almost to the letter as it was destined to happen thirty-odd 
years ago.
