Signals in the Channel: Communication Theory and The Cabal

Welcome back to Funding the Kryptonite, a blog that will take a look at comic book super villains and discuss them from a business perspective.

Looking at a relatively new series called The Unwritten, from the DC Comics imprint Vertigo, I’m going to be discussing the villainous group known as The Cabal and their use of communication theory in how they deal with the series protagonist, Tom Taylor.

Reliability, Relationships, and Responsibility: Three Failings of Doom

Welcome back to Funding the Kryptonite, a blog that will take a look at comic book super villains and discuss them from a business perspective.

I’m going to discuss some of his decisions and their outcomes in his early career path, and why I believe they were bad.
