Maybe a lot of gnashing of teeth, but Berganza has a number of really solid relationships with big creators. I haven’t loved many of the series’ he’s put out, but if it means possibly getting Joe Kelly back working at DC, or a long term Gene Ha thing, I’m down!

Berganza has more than earned this promotion with all the work he’s put in at DC. He’s helped GL become DC’s biggest book and has a great relationship with Johns not to mention he’s also responsible for DC being able to pull off massively successfull Blackest Night and get that out on time. DC is on the right track again and he’s one of the guys on top that has helped make that happen so has Sattler so kudos to both men on the promotions.
