Be careful when you ask for feedback

Amazons Attack didn't turn out well. I read the first few issues, then dropped it. (I still read Countdown which shows what a glutton for punishment I am.) It was full of illogical events and not a whole lot else. But the author, Will Pfeifer asked for feedback at his blog.
"She's no longer an ambassador from a wise people; she no longer has anything to teach, because her society is vastly more loathsome than the one she's visiting. She's just another superstrong chick in a bikini."

"Honestly, this series was a toxic piece of crap and not what I would have expected to see your name associated with."

"But with specific regard to the ending.....oh man. That was the most mind bogglingly awful ending I have ever had the misfortune to witness in ANY series, ever, in the entire time I've been reading comics."

"Overall I thought it was a pretty woeful series."

"I am done with this company and this new, unpleasant and laughably ineffectual "hero" running around calling herself "Wonder Woman". I haven't seen Wonder Woman in the DCU since the close of Volume 2's 226th issue. And it looks like she is forever lost, which is a real shame."

And there's plenty more.

But one commenter might have pointed his finger at the real culprit:

"Word on the Internet is that you were basically handed this story pre-plotted by DC editorial, and that you basically scripted the plot points. I don't know how true that is, but since I am a huge fan of your H-E-R-O, CATWOMAN and AQUAMAN, I'm hoping it is indeed true. You couldn’t have possibly conceived AMAZONS ATTACK."
