    Is this Tiny Titans thing just a blatant rip off of Mini Marvels? Because those images make it seem an awful lot like one.

    I just can't believe BRUCE JONES is going to be writing CHECKMATE. Why not just cancel the series?

    I think they must hate Rucka. I mean, first they crap on Wonder Woman after his run, then they delay the Batwoman series to god-knows-when and now they're trying to ruin Checkmate? Me smells me a conspiracy... Or they're just incompetant.

    Oh and why the hell is there another Blue Beetle fill-in?! It sounds interesting and all, but John Rogers is the one that should be writing it.

    To be fair, the Wonder Woman wasn't entirely thier fault, Heinberg just couldn't keep a schedule.

    They should have just put Gail on it from the start, but at least she's there now.

    If we did have Gail writing from the start, we wouldn't have the ridiculous "Wonder Woman needs a secret identity" crap.

    D: Wow, that's awful, may as well just kill it like Shadowpact than have it unceremoniously canceled when it stops selling because Bruce Jones is awful.

    Wonder Woman isn't really supposed to go with that shit. I'd rather have had a storyline about how she was investigating the disappearance of her gods, since that was actually going to be important, and would've made sense at the time.

    Wonder Woman's had a secret identity before.

    The gods thing seems to be being adressed in Gail's run.

    Greg Rucka left Checkmate.

    He's currently working on three new projects for DC.

    ANd like Bale said, Wonder Woman was Heinbergs mess. NOt "olol lets ruin Rucka"

    Well DC did force Rucka off Wonder Woman, despite his desire to continue on indefinitely with the book. So they really did dick him there, choosing to make him discard his plans for the book just so they could get a celebrity writer onboard.

    I think his implication wasn't that they forced Rucka off Checkmate, just that they gave his book to such a shitty writer

    tMunch: Rucka's Wonder Woman was okay, but Simone/Lopresti has me more interested in the character than I have ever been.

    Yeah, Rucka mentioned on his livejournal blog thing that he's been planning to leave CHECKMATE with #25 for over a year. I just can't believe DC handed the book to BRUCE JONES. Hell, why not have Jones and Tieri alternate arcs, that'll guarantee the book is cancelled within the next year.

    No, I don't know who else they could get to write the book that would 'make me happy', or that would increase sales.

    Like others have said, I didn't say Rucka was kicked off Checkmate but I was talking about how Rucka as kicked off Wonder Woman. Ideally, Rucka would've continued writing WW before handing it off to Gail Simone and also giving Ostrander Checkmate.

    As for the three new projects he's working for DC, I hope we actually get to see them...
