I don't know about Chap but I do know that I will officially drop Nightwing as soon as this change happens. :smt102

well i know for a fact in april you'll lose a title, I, Vampire ends then

I saw, and I'm gutted. I really love that book, but I guess well done to them for keeping it going this long. I guess I will replace it with a DC title, in as much as Snyder's Superman book will probably start in May and there's no way I'm missing that.

i honestly am surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Seems like they're just replacing mediocre writers with more mediocre writers.

Re-shuffling the same old deck doesn't really make me want to read any of these books.

How are any of these changes GOOD, DC? :roll:

I said it awhile ago and I'll say it again, if DC loses Snyder, they'll be in worse trouble than they already are in.

Poor chap's going to lose the rest of that hair...

@MarkWaid

On behalf of dear friends: It is UNCONSCIONABLE for publishers to fire creators through the pages of PREVIEWS. At least pick up a PHONE.

Anyone know who got fucked like this?

As much as I like Jim Starlin as an artist, right now his writing isn't hitting it for me. I was enjoying Peter Milligan on Stormwatch. I'm at least happy Yvel Guichet is doing art again.

My guess is Milligan. They claimed that Vendetti was shifted off the project and mentioned Zub's reaction, so that's the only creator that makes sense.

Yeah, but they also claimed that Gail Simone wasn't fired and that they were just waiting for more scripts from her. We can't believe a damn word they say.

Brett Booth drawing Nightwing? Ugh

Strange that they feel they need to change creative teams on stuff like Birds of Prey.

If it doesn't sell, why not just cancel it? Putting another no-name on it isn't going to change anything.

Christy Marx is writing Sword of Sorcery (is that still surviving?)
