Erik Larsen talks about the situation on this thread on his section of the Image forums:

Thanks for posting that. Daaaaayum. Between David Hine from back in the day to recently Brian Wood, Paul Jenkins, and now Erik Larsen, clearly a pattern has emerged. I mean it's fine that Todd is really involved with his character/book, it is his, but if you're gonna hire someone else to write the book, then step back and let them write it. If he's gonna be heavily editing and rewriting everything then WRITE THE BOOK YOURSELF FOR GOD'S SAKE! I really feel for everyone I mentioned because I know now how hard it must have been to try and collaborate on that. It's really too bad. Maybe now as Erik mentioned, Todd will write the book himself for a while.

MIA:
Manhattan Projects
Cry Havoc

Isn't Manhattan Projects kaput (sincere question, or is it just Hickman being unable to handle more than 2 titles?)? Also, I thought Spurrier (in #6) basically suggested Cry Havoc is done also, at least until further notice. Like, this isn't a Pretty Deadly or Rocket Girl situation where there's an intended extra long break, I thought I read him saying a new Cry Havoc story is really just up in the air.

Also, how long has the garbage of 4 issue TPBs being $15 been going on (looking at you, Remender)?

[Fuzzy Barbarian]

Definitely:
MOTOR CRUSH #1 - I wasn't a fan of their Batgirl run, but the premise sounds cool and I like Tarr's art when it's in the right place.
DESCENDER #17 - Didn't know it won an Eisner!
GLITTERBOMB #4 (MR)
OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA #24 (MR) - Series seriously needs to pick up the pace, but otherwise I'm still enjoying it
BIRTHRIGHT TP VOL 04


Maybe:
ECLIPSE #4
BEOWULF HC (MR) - Think I've heard decent things about this series. I think.
