Huh, does this mean Simone done with DC for now or does she have something else coming up?

That was her only monthly. The only other DC work for her I know of is the often talked about, never announced OGN with Ethan van Sciver.
 
Hmm.

So is DC going 90s style where nobody has any idea what the hell there doing and they just publish random shit and crazy storylines?

DC is going 90's style where they piss off everyone except 90's has-beens.

"Tom DeFalco, Howard Mackie, and Scott Lobdell have paying comics gigs" isn't a sentence I thought I'd say in 2012 but here we are.

Don't forget that for the past year Rob Liefield was writing/drawing like 4 titles!
 
I dunno, but I just checked her twitter and apparently they told her she was off the book in an e-mail. Couldn't even bother calling or anything, I doubt she stays. If it were me I'd need to be given something really cool to stay after being fired in an e-mail.

classy to the end DC. Tho I am happy she's off the book. it would be great if she went back to Birds of Prey, then DC can return to 90's all over again.
"look we rebooted everything, then put all the same writers back on the books you didn't buy"
 
Superman earth one was medicore so there was no way in hell i was buying vol 2.

also the last thing JMS did was thor and he could not even finish the damn thing.

also DC is imploding talent is confused and enditoral is being really shady. Gail probably found out when Rich posted the story about her leaving

The least of DCs books is better than most of Marvel's, so I don't know what you are talking about.

You are also wrong about the Earth One books. They are interesting. But opinions etc.

JMS left Thor because Marvel was forcing the series to get tangled up in crossovers (The Siege if I remember correctly). I can understand the frustration of having a long term plan for a title and then having to adjust for yearly cash grabs. He has no excuse for what he did on Superman and Wonder Woman though.

huh where did i diss earth one books. i loved batman earth one!

Buying JMS comics

in 2012

did you lose a bet or something


I had already ordered it as part of a buy 2 get 1 free BN deal awhile ago that one book already shipped previously from so i rolled with the choice. I got some enjoyment out of Earth One vol 1 but probably not enough to continue.
 
It is a business, it sucks that Simone had to go.. but alas...

The problem is tact.. you don't fire or drop someone over e-mail.. that just seems classless.
 
Guys some help.
I remember reading comics a time ago about the avengers( or spider man with help from the avengers) fighting some kind of unbeatable guy from another planet.
Somebody who used to love a women or something.

I cant remember which comic this was. Can somebody help me with it?

Are you talking about Infinity Gauntlet?

Yea and I thought the Mets had no class. I hope someone snaps her up and she proceeds to do the best work of her life and make DC look dumb. I think the major problem with her Batgirl book was that she was just writing Barbra Gordon for way too long.

No. This guy i guess came from another universe where he fought off the leader of a planet and killed him. He than came to earth.

I think it was either spider man or the avengers. My memory fails me =(

all i know is he was very hard to beat.

Sounds like a Thanos thing. I think TTOB crowned him Simpanzee of the year earlier in this thread.

I don't really have any actual idea of how the comics industry works internally, but I'd imagine that most communication between creators and business guys is done through email or phone call, since most of their work can be done at home.

When someone doesn't usually need to come into the office, it's actually more discourteous to have them drive all the way up just to tell them they're being let go. But again I don't know if that's actually reflective of the industry or not, I'm just giving DC the benefit of the doubt.
 
Man being fired by email is like being told your off a book by a Bleeding Cool article. And why the fuck is Jim Starling writing a book in 2013?

I really dont know, like i said my memory fails me. All i know is it was a villain that came from another planet. Doctor strange was there if im not mistaken.

The only detail i remember from the story is that this guy used to love somebody and that he fought against some people to capture control of another planet.
 
I guess if you are replacing someone on a book, a phone call would be better and advanced warning would be better. Same goes for cancellation of titles so a writer can wrap stuff up.

Having said that, I have never enjoyed Simone's work. Like PAD I just don't get her.
 
"Jim, you doing anything?"
"Uh, no not curr--who, who is this!?"
"DC. You wanna be on Batgirl?"
"Uh..."
"Fantastic. Script is due in 2 weeks. *click*"

Korvac maybe? Closest I can think of if not the Beyonder or Thanos.

Simone getting kicked is unfortunate, twitter seems to support her fully, albeit I've never heard anything exciting about that book.

Nevertheless the means of communication, if it happened as described, was shameful.

Growing in power and infamy as he traveled the universe, Thanos once met Death itself, as it appeared to him embodied in a female form. Thanos was infatuated with the being, and endeavored to make himself worthy in order to earn her love in return. With an army under his command, he nearly destroyed his former home of Titan, declaring himself its ruler.

This sound mighty familiar. Which comic series is this?
 
Sucks to hear Simone leaving. She really seemed to love working on "Batgirl." I personally didn't like it all that much, but it has to suck.

While I still enjoy quite a few of their books, I have to wonder just what the hell is going on at DC right now.

She wrote Secret Six.. I will forever follow her for that reason alone.

What's been going on at DC for a while now, more like.
 
It's like they're being run by morons. I just keep hoping they don't fuck with Batman.

I think Snyder is a star and they won't do anything to piss him off. DC editorial and creators could copy Marvel's summits approach to make sure everyone is on the same page. It seems a lot of the time there is a lack of communication.
