As a result of a question from yesterday's "20 Answers and 1 Question," Justice League of America writer Dwayne McDuffie has revealed that he has been fired from the book. A fan on his messageboard which cited the question Newsarama asked DiDio stated "I hope we fans bitchin' didn't get you off the book."
McDuffie responded:
Nope, it was my own doing. I was fired when "Lying in the Gutters" ran
a compilation of two years or so of my answers to fans' questions on
the DC Comics discussion boards. I'm told my removal had nothing to
with either the quality of my work or the level of sales, rather with
my revelation of behind-the-scenes creative discussions.
I have to say I'm a bit disappointed, because next summer was planned
to feature a JLA-driven crossover, where my book's story line would
have been the driving force. I'm distressed by where I left Black
Canary, as my intention was to use the current subplot to strengthen
her character and relationships with the new membership, and instead
I'm leaving her at the bottom of a hole I'd intended to rebuild her
from. I was also just about to get a regular artist for the first time
since I've been on the book, which would have been nice. That said, I'm
sure DC's going to put together a creative team that will generate
major excitement around JLA, which is as it should be.
As for me, I'm still busy story-editing both Ben 10: Alien Force (just
nominated for 3 Emmys!) and the upcoming new Ben 10 series "Ben 10:
Evolutions." As far as comic-related stuff, the all-new "Milestone
Forever," is still on track for late this year/early next year, and the
Milestone trade paperback program is in full swing, with Static Shock,
Icon and Hardware volumes already on the way. I've also recently
completed a console video game script that I can't talk about yet, but
that will be of interest to anyone reading this thread. I'm currently
writing a Direct-To-Video animated feature for Warner Animation, the
second of two I've taken on this year. Again, I can't say what they are
until they're officially announced, but they're likely of interest to
superhero fans, and one of them I can't help looking at as
what-could-have-been. You'll see what I mean.
