Missed it: ICv2.com talks to DC's Paul Levitz

In case you -- like me -- missed this yesterday, ICv2.com has a pretty lengthy interview with DC Comics head honcho Paul Levitz -- and it's only the first part:

We're having a wonderful year in every segment.  More creative work is fueling the periodical side of the business.  More creative courage is being exhibited than we've had in the field the past few years.  Even many of our competitors who have not had the same proportion of success have been taking more chances, trying more creative experiments.  Different formats, different publishing programs, different promotional stunts than we've had the last couple of years.  That's very healthy.  Our periodical sales are up more for the first half of this year versus prior years than I can remember.  I don't think we've gained tremendous share.  We've picked up some share, not enormous, certainly not the double digits that our sales are up.  That's a sign of general health.
