Not a fan of her recent books, but what a shitty way to be fired.

Is she still under a DC exclusive contract? If so how long.

I think if I remember Ricch Johnston or someone at BC stated that her exclusive contract was up at DC just recently.

Yup. She had recently tweeted how excited she was about that.

Wouldn't matter too much if she was...trust me, contracts are written to be broken. Only thing that would really matter for her I imagine would be the terms of any non-compete clause, if there is one.

I kind of doubt DC would be smart enough for one of those.

Doesn't matter. Gail's not exclusive anymore. If Marvel wants to twist that dagger into DC they can announce or tease Gail Simone on a new Marvel book later this week or month.

really not that hard to expect that work to NEVER show up in print. Wasn't it just recently that someone had a falling out with DC, and their work on Fairest was pulled, even though it was started?

What? DC treated a creator like something they scraped off the bottom of a shoe? That's shocking! Also, did anyone else notice the sun rise in the east this morning? When the hell did that start happening?

Yes, the company that stopped the presses on the Elseworlds 80-Page Giant just because of the "Superbaby's Babysitter" story would never even THINK of making sure a Gail Simone story never sees the light of day...
