[QUOTE=Frontier;4370097]Vision and Mr. Miracle were more in King's wheelhouse. It's no wonder they're better received.
Batman seemed fine up even with the vocal detractors right up until the non-wedding issue, which seemed to turn public opinion against King a little. Now, DC is partially at fault for this, but the impact was noticeable in my opinion.
And then Heroes in Crisis was his Civil War II moment.
I'd be surprised if Snyder doesn't still have some DC work in the future.
DC also still has Johns and Morrison, if not as frequently as they used to be.
Yeah, I would expect Snyder would still be doing stuff at DC, I just wonder what it could be beyond more Batman, since that's taken up most of his catalogue. And I would put Johns and Morrison up there, but they've been fairly low key lately, while the Big 3 have taken up most of the attention.
I'm mostly referring to Hickman and everything going on with Marvel Comics #1000. I saw that as basically their way of showing how many connections they still have and any future possibilities they may decide to pull out at a given notice.Marvel's A-listers...Aaron, Cates, and Spencer?
I think the difference is, Superman and Action Comics were less than 50 issues in, and they
were basically used as bargaining chips to get Bendis to come over to DC, not because of any wrongdoing on Jurgens and Tomasi's part.
With this situation if we're going by the reports, we're 15 issues before the end, a week out from interviews hyping up said conclusion, and supposedly sudden creative differences result in being shut down early, with no new writer set to replace. So they're fairly different situations.
Know I'm late to the party but I wanted to say I'm really glad King may be removed off of this title. His run started of interesting but now all of his books just seem like he is working out his weird personal issues through characters who do not belong to him or even fit the narrative he is trying to run with.

Yeah, something bizarre just happened over the weekend. But what? And why screw over readers because of it?
Why is "overarching long terms plans" somehow necessary? What is wrong with writers just having a good long run with good stories like what Tomasi was doing with Jon and the Superfamily stuff? This mentality we have to shake things up (like with Bendis) or have long drawn out 100 issue arcs (or King) doesn't necessarily lead to good stories as many of the anti-King people would tell you. Sometimes letting the writers just write fun stories like what we got is a formula for success by itself. And the superbooks imo absolutely needed a long run of that sort to shore up the status quo after years of turmoil and creator changes at the drop of a hat.

Good Lord, Dan DiDio is LOVING this!
Wait until next week when everyone starts screeching about the ending of Heroes in Crisis. You'll be giving him fits of orgasmic ecstasy!
