Ouch!

While giving an overview of his Chicago experience, Augie De Bleick shares what he really thinks about Wizard:

First, I want to do everything in my power to systematically tear Wizard down for its unethical, shady, and slanted business practices. I'd love to pop their balloon of hubris, pry apart the fingers that form the stranglehold on this industry that Marvel/DC/et. al. have given them, and then jump up and down repeatedly on their rotting corpse. I realize that my next press pass request will likely be rejected now, but somehow that distance between the self-proclaimed Congers Cognoscenti and myself will just make me feel cleaner,like a freshly showered geek at the end of a long day's convention. The stink will be off me just as Frank Miller begins wallowing around in the same mud pit he once so beautifully vacated in a passionate Pittsburgh spiel.

Still, he's able to say some nice things about Wizard World itself, despite his differences with the company that organized it.
