CBR announces the news: SUPERGIRL #60 isn’t even out, and the series is back to a revolving door of creative teams.
I’m taking this book off my pull list. I’m not interested in a book written month to month by pinch-hitters just so DC can keep pushing an issue out.
I still have two issues and an annual to review, eh? I really liked them, and Chang’s art on #58 was a very nice surprise (looks like I should have been worried about the writer and not the artist!) There are some really BIG dangling threads left from the annual and #59 (Lucy?!!) that will probably never be resolved now, which is kind of crazy. I still don’t know what reason DC had for moving Gates off book (they’re sure not going to tell us) but wow, it was bad timing! Hopefully someone who’s actually interested and able to commit to the book will come along in a few months.
Looks like Batgirl is going to be my teen-girl hero fix now. Is there really no one else at DC who wants to write/draw Supergirl?
(Dec 24: Edited to fix a possibly misleading sentence.)
Not having that much specialized knowledge about what’s going on with this book in particular, my impression is that it’s not a writer or artist desire situation, but an editorial one.
That’s my impression as well, but I haven’t been paying attention to comics news for almost two months so I’m out of the loop.
Well, as old Ben told Luke, “You must do what you feel is right…” — but, as for me, I’m going to wait and see how the new lineup turns out before dropping the book. I share your frustration, but I would rather keep pre-ordering for now to show support for the title. It may turn out to be good, one never knows!
I say let Gail Simone hop into the “Super” bandwagon. She did/is doing “Birds Of Prey” and did “Wonder Woman” after Jodi Piccoult. We haven’t had a female writer write on that series yet, right? Mr. Igle and Mr. Gates had a wonderful run and I hope they have the same success with the other projects they’re working on. Btw, did you see Mr. Igle’s Zatanna cover yet? It’s stunning! ^_^
UPDATE: I heard some guy named James Peaty is hopping on board.*There goes my false hope for a female writer on this series.*:( Hey, if they can’t get a female writer on this then maybe Bryan Q. Miller could fill in for an arc? His Batgirl stuff is amazing!
I’d like to see some new writers given a chance!

Hey…I’d LOVE to do it!….But….I need to finish college and get a degree for it. Gonna minor in Creative Writing…Watch out, DC! Just wait a few years and I could intern and then hop on board. (if they let me.)^_^
