Plus, he may have read all the comments here and has had enough.

Not to sound like I'm standing up for Rob or anything, but I'm pretty sure he's right about DC editorial being indecisive and all around miserable to work under.

Not to sound like I'm standing up for the DC editorial staff, but how are you sure about them being indecisive and miserable to work for?

Word is Perez has said the same thing. But Rob still sucks.

Yeah, the consensus is that DC has been a bunch of douchebags to work for since this whole new 52 thing. Basically, the creatives with other options are jumping ship.

Yeah, Perez said the same thing:

Then there was John Rozum on Static Shock:

...and the extensive reshuffling in general leads me to think those aren't isolated cases.

That stupid McKee book has done more damage to the film and comic industries than most people will ever know.

I probably harp on this too much, but the DC editorial team has stunk it up far longer than the new 52. It's one of the reasons I wasn't confident that the new 52 would be any better than the old DC Universe: the editorial staff who made all the decisions in the old regime were still doing the same thing here, but perhaps with more outside interference.

They put Alan Heinberg and Terry Dodson on Wonder Woman. Pretty cool concept, Donna Troy taking the mantle, except it was plagued by delays and eventually the story was dropped from the regular book and finished in an annual much much later. IIRC, this was not the only book that was so plagued by delays that they needed a separate annual to complete the story.

They put JMS on Superman and Wonder Woman. The Superman "Grounded" story was wretched. Wonder Woman had a costume change and was taken out of the DC Universe altogether. JMS didn't even bother to finish either series, leaving his notes for others to finish.

They gave Teen Titans to Felicia Henderson, a Gossip Girl writer, for perhaps the worst arc I've ever read.

They put Mark Bagley and James Robinson on the Justice League, advertising an all new lineup which didn't even last two issues due to outside interference with the characters. What should have been one of the premiere books in their lineup had been run into the ground after years of being directionless. They did the same thing to another once-popular team book, JSA.

The absolute crappiest of my memories of the dying old DC Universe was the Countdown to Final Crisis series. This was a weekly series that ran for a year, a concept that DC had done well with in 52 and not so well with in Trinity. But it didn't lead into Final Crisis. It had a bunch of stories that were vaguely connected and padded out. It completely ruined some characters (Mary Marvel). This and Death of the New Gods completely contradicted Final Crisis. Here's what Morrison had to say about it:

In short, they ran their sales into the ground and started over, but with the same people guiding the ship. I'm not surprised that creators are getting fed up; I don't think that they even focus on promoting creators on their books with the exception of Johns, Lee, and Morrison. It's like they feel they're all interchangeable.

Rob's burning some bridges:

Yeah, that sounds like a nightmare. Thanks for sharing.

It sounds more like DC editorial, or someone above DC editorial (corporate overlords possibly), are pushing many of the individual character decisions now. The writers have clearly little to no control much of the time, which is possibly why DC hired so many artists as writers for the new 52. Unless you are a writing superstar like Johns or come from outside the comics field, don't expect to have much control of the comics you write at DC.

Rob's on a warpath this weekend. There's too much to post so follow the links if you're interested.

Rob vs. Tom Brevoort - "Sorry they passed you over for EIC Tommy B. Get over it."

Rob vs. Scott Snyder - "Get over yourself you pretentious prick."

So if I follow this correctly, Rob rants that DC only cares about the Bat books, and then targets Synder?

Sorry but Court of Owls is so damn good, I cant even believe Rob would try to go toe to toe.

Keep it up Rob. Maybe you can get yourself black listed.

I love Greg Capullo's comments. He totally keeps it cool, but would start kicking ass if someone ever stepped up to him.

Honestly, it feels very reminiscent of Harras's tenure at Marvel.

So Marvel solicited an X-Force omnibus with the end of the New Mutants title and the initial run of X-Force, all by you know who. As I have fond memories of the title, I think I'm in...

I wish they'd finish the New Mutants Classic volumes instead.

I might get this, only to remind myself of what I thought was cool when I was 13.

Rob has finally reached the top of hack mountain - He's swiped an entire comic!

Deathstroke #0 vs. Tales of the Teen Titans #43 #44:



















Oh and there's more!

Maybe it's an "homage?"

I was just gonna post this. Too funny. And even when he is directly taking someone else's art as reference, look how often he still has to hide feet and hands. What a hack.

Is that a fake? A Google search for Tales of the Teen Titans #43 turns up a completely different book.
http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Tales_of_th...itans_Vol_1_43

Is that grounds to be sued?

I think it's Tales of the Teen Titans 44, which has the origin of Deathstroke

http://www.comixology.com/Tales-of-t...omic/ICO002233

Considering Liefeld was also doing an origin of deathstroke, this has to be intentional, no way he was trying to hide this. Whether or not it's legal: DC owns the rights to the artwork, and Liefeld is working for DC, I'm not sure who's going to sue him...

Yeah, it's Tales of the Teen Titans #44. Sorry about that.

Well, if you are going to rip something, at least picking a classic tale to rip off is better than having bad tastes. There is still no excuse, but at this point nothing should be a surprise with Liefeld.
