Lucas Siegel, editor of Newsarama ran a series of tweets today,

I am baffled by how a major publisher, when asked for interviews, can say "No, we're not letting that be covered until April". Ridiculous. — Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) March 3, 2014

"We'd really rather you not cover our products" seriously? I just.. insane. — Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) March 3, 2014

@RyanAJoseph Yes, well, you can probably guess by the fact that we've had a ton of marvel coverage lately and not so much… ahem — Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) March 3, 2014

@RyanAJoseph at least 4 requests so far. — Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) March 3, 2014

@mypalsammy Yup, and they're not gonna love what we do instead. :) — Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) March 3, 2014

Yes, they are talking about DC Comics. Who recently ran Newsarama print ads and whom DC gave that lovely 3D cover scoop just last week.

Oh look, it's Siegel vs. DC Comics again.

My knowledge of DC's history with Newsarama is sketchy, though the departure from DC's press department of ex-Newsarama's Alex Segura can't have helped.

Though it may have helped their attitude to Archie Comics, where Segura ended up.

@albertxii Thanks, I updated our story based on that. Exciting times for Archie! — Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) March 3, 2014

I do remember being told they were blacklisted once for linking to my interview with Alan Moore… which lasted a couple of days.

I wonder what did it this time? We should run a top ten list of possibilities…
