If they'd managed to get another female writer/artist on, would that have been enough? Would four? Five? I seriously think this is something that some people think requires a 50/50 ratio, and I think that's ridiculous. I want good comics by talented people. I'm getting that with DC's current line up for the most part. Would I rather see Winick tossed out for someone with a better grasp of storytelling and character development? In a second. If that person is female, fine. If that person is male, fine. As long as someone with better skills than Winick is in charge of a book, I'm happy.
And I don't like the fact that DC made an attempt is somehow not enough for people. They tried. The writers/artists they asked weren't interested/didn't have time/whatever. But DC's attempt is being blown over because they, apparently, didn't try hard enough. So, they don't meet the minimum requirements as decided by other people, and their attempts are blown off because people they should have done more. It's a complete lose-lose for them, and I don't think that's fair.
