Rob Liefeld Quits DC On Twitter, Names Names And Points Fingers

By Graeme McMillan

2013 departure has been moved up significantly “to preserve my sanity,” he told Twitter yesterday.

Citing “too much BS,” Liefeld announced that his final DC issues would appear next month instead of some time in 2013, explaining “I believe in what DC is doing, but had to preserve my sanity. I walked off all 3 books. Can’t wait to see any attempts to spin. I have every email” (Tweet 1, Tweet 2).

Juggling an overall enthusiasm for his time with the publisher - “Never thought the Image section of my book would be topped. This last year was a humdinger. The DC52 chapters will go top all of it,” he said, adding later that “I loved all the work I did there regardless of the struggle. I think the DC 52 was/is positive for comics” - and disdain for his personal experience (“Next time a little DC editor wants to show me how big his little pecker is—-oh, right that’s over for good,” he tweeted, going on to identify the editor in question as associate editor Brian Smith), the creator described his reasons for leaving earlier than intended by saying:
