No more pouches?

We're not going to have Rob Liefeld to kick around anymore.

The comics world mourns the loss of baroque anatomy, porn traces, floating or otherwise invisible feet, and seriously, what was in all those pouches?

I can't help but imagine various DC heroines untwisting their spines and sighing in relief as their internal organs re-settle into their proper places and their tiny little feet are finally able to touch the ground.

Also, who tweets during a movie? That's just rude.

I think it's best summed it up as:
"It's unfortunate that DC's heavy editorial hand has driven away so many talented people.
It's a godsend that DC's heavy editorial hand has driven away Rob Liefeld."

The 52 Reboot strategy had potential: dial back some of the insular editorial tendencies (grim, sexist, overly convoluted plotting, etc.) while bumping sales. Instead it's a retrenchment of the same but cheaper and sloppier with a higher cover price. I suspect it's more cost effective to milk the established market until it dies, but does not being a disorganized dickhead really cost much more?
