Geekscape Comics: After Zero Issues Rob Liefeld Is Leaving DC Comics

We all knew that Rob Liefeld would be leaving DC but it seemed that he would be sticking it out through next year. But just today Rob Liefeld announced on Twitter than he would be gone after September’s zero issues. No, he will not be staying on any of the titles. Yes, he is leaving DC entirely. Liefeld tweeted the following:

The 0′s are my last issues. Thanks for all the love.

This is the 4th time I quit in the last 4 months. This time it will stick.

Never thought the Image section of my book would be topped. This last year was a humdinger. The DC 52 chapters will go top all of it.

Reasons are the same as everyone’s that you hear. I lasted a few months longer than I thought possible.

Massive indecision, last minute and I mean LAST minute changes that alter everything. Editor pissing contests… No thxnjs

Last week my editor said ” early on we had a lot of indie talent that weren’t used to re-writes and changes..made it hard”. Uh, no, it’s you

While, I think many people may be happy that Rob Liefeld is leaving, alot of his complaints have been stated by numerous creators working on DC’s New 52. This makes it appear that upcoming creator changes may be happening sooner than later and we may possibly even see the cancellation of some of these titles. I had heard rumors a bit back that Savage Hawkman was definitely on the chopping block and it looks like DC may either now choose to give it a new team or just cut it. Cue numerous comments about his lack of ability to draw feet.
