Yea, the stories kind of meandered after Roc was fired from the book and it really made me wonder how much input he had in the story telling side of things. I can understand Wiebe taking a hiatus because the book was really just meandering and doing nothing, and whatever spark there was with the first 2 story arcs was lacking in the last one. This isn't to say that Fowler isn't telling the truth, and for all we know she is, but I can see a needed hiatus on the book if only to recharge and make it good again.

I can't imagine how dumb you'd have to be to fire someone shadily and hire back on a domestic abuser and assume your audience wouldn't poo poo all over you unless you're aiming for the worst part of Reddit.

He can't actually fire him, they both own the book. He stepped down.

Huh, I saw people swearing up and down he had nothing more to do with the book when they were trying to get people to read it after the whole thing happened. (Not here, elsewhere.) I guess that was one of those "please ignore the lovely wizard behind the curtain' situations.

I kinda wonder if it's not at least somewhat financially-driven. If Upchurch is co-owner, he presumably gets half the profits regardless of how much or little he does and it might not be worth the money to pay a work-for-hire artist at the end of the day.

If it's something like that, then as much as I love Rat Queens, it might be better to just let it die.

So my middle school students have started getting into New Teen Titans. And because I have red hair and a beard, they think I look like Terry Long. And they've started calling me Mr. Long. I'm considering making it an automatic detention or just quitting my job.

Bleach your hair, throw the curlers into overdrive, shave your beard and refuse to say anything ever. Threaten the little bastards with eye contact. What, it's five percent less unfortunate than Terry Long.

Making it an automatic detention means that it's the only thing they will ever refer to you if you're not in earshot.

Your only hope at this point is to shave the beard, give them a bunch of John Byrne Superman issues and try to get them to call you Mr Luthor

Wait, is Terry Long in anything besides Wolfman/Perez Teen Titans? 21st middle schoolers are getting into (late period) Marv Wolfman Teen Titans? Are they making Wildebeest Society jokes?

It'd be even funnier if Timeless Appeal was the one that introduced them to it. Being assosciated with the worst character in the book must suck.

It's really starting from one kid who just comes in with old rear end 80s and 90s comics. She was reading Crisis on Infinite Earths yesterday. And then they spread to the rest of the kids when she's done reading it. I've been trying to veer them to the 90s and read Young Justice. It's also not like they're insulting me. They love Terry Long.
