Car accident, right? Why is he considering retirement tho?
I've heard drug/mental/workload issues and divorce. The car accident thing was only recently revealed.
Dude dropped all his Marvel books and gave his Indie, Vanish, to the artist.
Dude was Geoff Johns/Bendis level at Marvel at one point.
No signs of coming back anytime soon.

Man, that sucks. He’s already wrote for 3 of my favorite characters. Loved the Thanos run. I never did finish Silver Surfer Black; I stopped when Knull was revealed. I think I dropped it because I wasn’t familiar with the character.

Like it was previously discussed, dude has had a New Gods pitchs for years now so it wouldn't be shocking if he uses some of it for this new thing. Marvel like "don't be mad at us for Secret Wars and fukking you over with the X-Men...you can do whatever you want 🥺"

honestly it sounds like he had a solid plan to save DC comics from itself.

I just finished Graham's run of Prophet. Such a weird, almost incomprehensible read, but I think I liked it? Went in with no prior knowledge of the character. Decent scifi comic.

Finished all the Head Lopper books.
Great art, dense read.
Loved all of them

I have no idea what this is, but I need something new to read so I will give this a shot.
Highly recommended. Head Lopper was really good. Got better as it went on too, especially artwise. I really hope there's more on the way.
Looking forward to more from Andrew MacLean as well. He has such a unique art style.

@Uncle Baby Billy , hold up, dude is already getting divorced? :dwillhuh:

I kinda shouldn’t be surprised since dude married his girl only after a year (or less) of dating. :ld:
So he was severely injured, and he's now recovering and trying to pick up the pieces of his life; also, he's divorced, that also occurred."

I have no idea what this is, but I need something new to read so I will give this a shot.
I usually don't like fantasy books, but Head Lopper is a very good read. Very similar to Hellboy in art and humor.

What's going on in TMNT?
The mutagen that created the TMNT affected a borough in NY, so it's filled with humanoid animals and humans-turned-animals.
This intresting concept was used by the new Tranny writer to make boring slice of life stories about furries, with lots of gay characters (including the 5th female turtle, who was Casey's 2nd love interest) with the TMNT barely in it.

Lol, no,
There's a 5th turtle named Jennika that is female that joined the TMNT. She was a human ninja before mutating. Her bandada is yellow and her weapon is Wolverine style claws.

the comic also has Lita, an albino kid turtle with magic powers and pink facepaint and Venus, a human-turned -frog that got implanted with Turtle limbs, who also has magic powers.
