“Having an afternoon cocktail to celebrate the end of my time at DC.”
“Aside from the Fairest arc I already committed to doing, iZombie will be the last time I’ll ever write for DC.”
Roberson later went on to clarify things as he was asked if DC mistreated him:
“Less in their treatment of me than in their treatment of others and how they conduct their business in general.”
Later in the thread, a fan hoped Roberson would helm Legion of Superheroes, he replied:
“Sorry. In a better world, characters like the Legion would be owned by a more ethical company, but sadly not in this one.”
Asking what he meant brought this answer:
“The short version is, I don’t agree with the way they treat other creators and their general business practices.”
Later, he points followers to give a read to this Comics Alliance op-ed piece entitled The Ethical Rot Behind ‘Before Watchmen’ & ‘The Avengers’:
“To those wondering why I won’t be working for DC again, this post by @hermanos sums it up nicely.”
Kudos to Chris Roberson for saying what’s on his mind and I strongly encourage TGG visitors to give the Comics Alliance article a read.
What are your thoughts of Roberson trashing DC on his way out the door?
