Well this is unexpected. Writer James Robinson announced Friday that he’s leaving ongoing New 52 series Earth 2 — and DC Comics — with September’s issue #16. “So as of today I am leaving Earth 2 with Issue #16. It’s been a blast,” Robinson tweeted. In a follow-up, he wrote, “Yes, this also means I’m no longer working at DC Comics. Best wishes and regards to Dan, Geoff and everyone.”
James was a man full of ideas and I’ll miss that in DC Comics stable. Sure not every idea is a homerun, but Robinson has a career full of those and a few triples too. Enough baseball references, now to place odds on who will replace him on E2.
