The only thing that I can think of to concern me is that somehow this constant changing of teams with Hawkman will be seen as reflecting on the character rather than on editorial mismanagement. It wouldn't be the first time.Jusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160203994690082961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863067557730775717.post-74574802229198105952012-08-22T22:05:28.309-04:002012-08-22T22:05:28.309-04:00I dunno, I think that really depends on the team. ...I dunno, I think that really depends on the team. The crew over on Wonder Woman, for instance, seems to be doing their own thing. Same goes for Flash, and I wouldn't call either of those creative teams guys who can call their own shots like Johns can over on Aquaman. <br /><br />I don't think a book like Hawkman was being written by the editor so much as this is Rob Liefeld spreading himself too thin and walking off because of it.<br /><br />From a visual standpoint losing Rob Liefeld is not a loss, period. Especially when you have Joe Bennett on the pencils. The writing is another mater. Liefeld has been cagey about the actual division of labor with him and Poulton; the world may never know (just like Tootsie Pops). The bottom line is that I was enjoying the storyline and want to see it continue, especially considering that it is just about to get very ambitious in that it is spilling over into other titles and expanding Hawkman's profile a bit.Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6863067557730775717.post-50089492971487067812012-08-22T19:41:38.622-04:002012-08-22T19:41:38.622-04:00Rob Liefeld has a talent for bolting off a title w...Rob Liefeld has a talent for bolting off a title without notice, so this is par for him. His comments just confirm what a slipshod, half-assed, crowd sourced mess the New 52 has been. I mean, beyond giving someone with Rob's reputation control of three titles. <br /><br />As much as I hate editorially driven comics, they ARE the bosses, and Liefeld has been one of the few exceptions in that area for most of his career. Ideally, an editor steers the ship and inspires talent, rather than dictate to them, but the quality of a given book is supposed to be determined by the guy handing out the pay vouchers.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.com
