Daniel's departure from Action Comics was PRE-PLANNED since last Fall

As announced yesterday, Tony Daniel is taking over as Writer and Artist for the remainder of the current arc  on Action Comics which ends with issue # 21 (June).   At that time he will take on assisting with a new "massive" project for DC. 

In response to yesterday's announcement about Diggle leaving the title, Daniel posted on his Facebook page:

“Yes, many have heard, Andy Diggle left Action Comics after the first issue. I can only say I feel bad he made that decision. I think it was the wrong one, but that was his choice to make” .

 

“For the remainder of the arc I'll be working off his plots to finish out this first arc ... so essentially, I become 'scripter' in the credits w/ Andy as 'plotter'."
