Bitter Party of One… Chuck Dixon

Monday, June 16th, 2008

Don’t hold back Chuck, tell us how you REALLY feel. Newsarama gathered a bunch of Chuck Dixon’s comments regarding his “no longer working at DC in any capacity.” Here are some of the highlights…

From a June 13th post on Dixonverse.com

I did not quit.
I do not believe it had anything to do with politics. My involvement with Robin ends with issue 174. I think my BATO run is over with #10. My Booster two-parter will still be appearing.

If he didn’t quit, and it wasn’t politics… did they just fire his ass for sucking?

From his comments at Newsarama

Don’t blame my editors. DC, currently, is run from the top down in a way that makes Jim Shooter’s aegis at Marvel look like a hippie commune.

Warners? The geniuses who merged with a company that was billions in the red? Trust me, most days they don’t even KNOW they own a comic company much less take an interest in running it.

I’ve worked under tyrants and I can say that I’d prefer to work under a talented, knowledgeable tyrant with a successful plan than a directionless gladhander with a ouija board any day of the week.

    Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

    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.
