I'm hoping the bad editorial decisions don't spread further (like to The Flash), but DC has taken Gail Simone off Batgirl. This title has been next to The Flash at the top of my pull list...up to now. Here's a link to a longer Tumblr post with my full opinion - your opinions are welcome here as well. Thanks!

This is completely unexpected, especially after seeing her Twitter responses to your question(s) regarding this very matter.
Why DC Editorial is resorting to these kind of changes and tactics is baffling. Now, I haven't read any of the new Batgirl, but knowing that Simone was handling her re-launch, I was confident that she can pull off the giant task of putting Barbara back into a cape and cowl.
It's one thing if this split was amicable for both or Simone had a say or part in the decision, but from what I've read so far, it reads like a stab in the back. And I agree, firing by email has to be the lamest, most shameful way to fire someone. It shows how much DC appreciated her contributions.
Good news though, Jim Calafiore and her are working on their own independent work, Leaving Megalopolis, which was recently funded successfully through Kickstarter.

I've heard about that project...and now I really want to buy that when it comes out. Glad you mentioned it here!

People have been reporting (granted, it's half-rumour and half-based on comments from disgruntled creators who have left) for a while now that the environment at DC is very toxic and unhappy these days. I'm not really surprised that Karen Berger left and Gail was treated this way, though obviously it's very worrying. I think things will get worse before they get better.

I was VERY happy to read about this - glad DC decided to listen (and I hope they will do a little additional listening on some other topics as well).  |
