In the far future (or is it the distant past?)...
DANNISS: Well, all of the other Districts have been absorbed--Fawcett, Charlton, Quality, Wildstorm...
GEOFFNISS: But how will we keep them from rebelling? How will we keep the unruly fans in line?
JIMMITCH: Simple. At regular intervals we shall demand "tributes" from them. The captive universes shall have to offer up their best and brightest characters to culling events!
DANNISS: I love it! "Worlds will live, worlds will die!"
GEOFFNISS: But won't the fans rebel? Won't they be upset that their favorite tributes are being wiped away?
JIMMITCH: That's the beauty part! Everyone will read anyway! No matted how much they complain, they will keep reading, as if they're forced! Indeed, the more they claim to hate it, the more controversial, the MORE they shall read! The more hated we are, the more they will read...because we will always leave them hope...
DANNISS: I love it!! We can repeat it indefinitely! The Crisis Games! The Infinite Crisis Games! The Final Crisis Games! The...
GEOFFNISS: But won't we end up doing damage to our own characters? So many games, so much death so many lies and "retcons ", so much abuse of the Tributes...
JIMMITCH: That's all right...we can always replace them with Tributes from MY District. People are much more interested in Grifter and Voodoo than they are Wally West or Donna Troy, anyway...
DANNISS: I love it! And one year we can have 52 Tributes! 52!!! God, I love that number!!!
GEOFFNISS: But won't one of his own books be one of the first culled...?
JIMMITCH: Sshh, let him have his fun. Now, let's talk about finding work for my friend Robbniss...
DANNISS. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well...it's all beginning to make sense now!
Don't be silly: something like this might appeal to female readers, and DC sure as fun doesn't want that...
Snell, you could easily write an epic meta comic about the treachery and hijinks of the comic industry.
