No doubt you guys have heard about Andy Diggle leaving Action Comics before his first issue has even been released, now Joshua Falkov is doing the same, leaving Green Lantern Corps and Red Lanterns before his June debut on the books.
So thoughts? This isn't the first time we've heard of disruptions inside DC, with Simone being fired from Batgirl and Liefields outburst last year. We'll likely never know the specifics behind all these happenings and can only theorise but it certainly doesn't portray DC in a good light.

It seems to be coming down to editorial interference, from the rumblings around the departures. Like they're making a decision, writers are writing issues, and then editorial is changing their mind and demanding rewrites, which is understandably infuriating.

Shambles. Absolute shambles.

Dc and Marvel own their characters; if you work for either of those companies your playing with other people's characters. If they want you to go in a certain direction I don't think that's unreasonable. The editors at the big two have a whole universe of titles they have to coordinate and direct.

It isn't unreasonable, but it just seems poorly planned. I mean, if you wanted to go a certain direction with a series, wouldn't you make it clear to the new creative team before you hired them?
That way you can avoid them turning around and saying they don't agree with it, and won't write a story to meet your desires, leaving you with another creative walkout.
