An overweight man took flight when going down a water slide.
That creative break was just to get Fowler off the book so he could bring back Rockafort or whatever his name is.

According to Fowler, they're replacing her with Upchurch again

Thats all we know. What Tess said and the fact that Wiebe denied Roc is coming back.
and Wiebe denied that this is happening.

HORY SHIT
I had a feeling this was going to happen when Upchurch did his bullshit PR interview with CBR a while back (specifically with a female journalist). I ain't even mad. If anything is going to save the book, it's this.

Went on Hiatus, Fowler leaving, replaced with some guy who I've never heard of but is apparently an abusive shitheel.
Beaten like Deku's bones.

Roc Upchurch is the original Rat Queens artist.
He was the original artist and co creator of Rat Queens. Also did the best art in the series but that is subjective.

Ah, okay. I knew that you guys said that he was a former RQ artist, but didn't know he was a cocreator. Makes it more understandable (albeit still wack) if true.

Only subjective to people who don't have eyes.
Yeah he is still getting paid for every issue. Some kind of royalty payment.
I think Tess has made it much harder for them to bring him back now in whats was already a very difficult thing to do.
I liked Sejics action and sex scenes more but all other Rat Queens stuff Roc was the best at. His versions of the characters are easily the best too. That was my biggest problem with Tess, her versions of those characters is bleh.

Well yeah, that's why I worded it and said "According to Fowler".
There's clearly details missing right now and Hoffer (the one who emailed Wiebe) is saying to read Fowler's tweets on the subject as Wiebe isn't giving the full story. Something went down and it wasn't pretty.
I don't think Upchurch will be back on art myself but really, I hope he doesn't return. I don't care if his art is good but I'd rather not support him.

Upchurch didn't get paid for issues he didn't draw. I don't remember reading that article when it first popped up, but it's worth looking at. Talks with his wife, who says that he's not an improved guy now
where?
e: oh, nvm
where?
e: oh, nvm
I was optimistic that it wouldn't be the case and that he's coming back after getting help or something. Looks like I can keep on ignoring this book.

Fowler should have stayed silent for a few weeks and let them dig their own grave.

I definitely liked Sejic, but Upchurch had this art on lock. Fowler art isn't bad, but it screams generic fantasy art. There's nothing remarkable about it.
I think Wiebe is only denying it because he knows he's going to become a social media punching bag for the next six months and is putting it off as long as possible.
If the X-Men 92 thing thought us anything its that comic book fans have a short memory about creators. That or they just don't care as long as the get their books.

Admittedly, this is me on occasion. If it's something I want to read. I'm reading that new Brian Wood Aliens comic, for example.

Yeah, that was the impression I took away from everything I just read as well.
I dunno, I feel Chris Sims' biggest crime, iirc, was being super shitty online? Which, while terrible and bad, isn't, you know, all the terrible shit Roc Upchurch has done to his ex-wife and kids?
If I had any context regarding X-Men the animated series, I could see myself buying X-Men '92. I'm never buying a book with Roc Upchurch's name on it ever again. I have a list of terrible people I'm not buying books from, it's short, easy to maintain, and it saves me money and the headache of separating the artist from the art.
Is Brian Wood on that list?
Yeah! It's Cho, Edmondson, Upchurch and Wood.
Damn, Upchurch may be a bad person with his history, but I do miss his art.
If it's not happening though, that's good. I would never pay for any of his work though, free methods work.

What little I saw of DOOM '16 made me realize
If the events of DOOM '16 took place in the areas of UC4, it would've been GODLIKE
Also this

BTW was Boondocks comic strips ever collected ENTIRELY in book form? I own a collection of some of the later strips, but I don't believe it features the first few years.

If her Twitter posts are any indication she has washed her hands of the book
Thanks again to all you guys for always helping out with recommending/unrecommending stuff. One more quick question for the current Comixology sales: Thinking I'll give the volume 0 of Spider-Gwen a try for that price. Question is, do I need to grab the Edge of Spiderverse trade to go with it? (Thinking I'll just read the event itself on MU when I finally can get around to it as I remember people being really eh on the whole thing)

No, you can just start with Spider-Gwen if you want to try it
The series is ok, but I wouldn't really recommend it. I dropped it myself.
Thanks, cool. And yeah, I'm not expecting much from it, but I'm curious enough to give it a shot considering it's so cheap.

I won't lie. If Upchurch comes back to RQ, then I'm all in.
It seems to be more like she was being replaced so she quit.
Kind of like I am quitting before you fire me.

I believe that is also true, yes. I wasn't describing her motives.
I dropped it when he left. Would probably pick it up again if he does come back. His art was just perfect for the book.

I honestly think it's the only chance the book has. The artist merry-go-round did some damage.
They have left the book in a place where they need to explain what is happening.

Yeah I'll probably stick with it too.

Worth pointing out that the Cooke sale doesn't include Selina's Big Score. Definitely check it out if you're going for his Catwoman.

Sorry, but you're not going to guilt-trip me into avoiding a book that I would enjoy. Not in a world where Greg Land still gets work.

Imma be legit impressed if this never gets turned into a tv show or film.

He doesn't even need to be a good artist and i'd vote for him for president.
