Chuck Dixon no longer employed by DC Comics in any capacity
Batman and the Outsiders writer Chuck Dixon declared on his official forum June 10, that he was no longer employed by DC Comics in any capacity.
To quote Ross from Friends… “FINE BY ME!!!”, since I never read Robin (Dixon write the 1991 Robin miniseries as well as 9 years of the subsequent ongoing title) or Nightwing (only peripheral Bat title I read is Birds of Prey) and didn’t like his inconsistent Outsiders anyway.
I just don’t see a black op run by Batman going as SNAFU as the missions in this title. Also Rex Mason DOESN’T need to breathe. Dixon’s treatment of Thunder and Grace as a couple has been poor at best. The only thing I loved was the Dibney’s as a duo of Deadmanesque ghosts. But we haven’t seen them since. I’d like to see them get their own book.
Most online buzz seems to suggest he was unhappy interrupting his own story arcs for Grant Morrison’s Batman R.I.P. because Morrison kept changing the timetable of events in his story. Since his “terse statement” came just one day after DC’s Monday announcement that Frank Tieri will be writing the R.I.P. tie in issues of Batman and the Outsiders (#11-12), I’d say where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
I’ll watch his site for more news.
