A problem much larger than one of the big two losing a mega talent like Rucka. Suggests a much larger problem - a problem that both Marvel and DC need to find a way to deal with - because it's just going to keep coming up. That DC and Greg could come to some sort of agreement, apparently not going to happen.' 'I was afraid something like this was going to occur but held out hope that it wouldn't happen. Assurances from Williams that DC remains committed to the character, are nice to hear, but without the other half of that team I'm skeptical. Prior to Rucka's Batwoman/Detective Comics run Batwoman had ALREADY had a bit of a difficult run.so, it's hard to believe that DC isn't going to bungle this as they try to follow Rucka's lead without Rucka, no matter what condition he has left her in. It takes a pretty amazing writer to NOT screw up even the best laid plans.er.characters. It's true that Rucka has set her up with a pitch perfect origin and a strong focus that you'd like to expect any writer could step into and carry on, but we all know it's just not a given. But I'll be honest and admit that I just don't trust anyone with her right now. Am I interested in Kate Kane even if she's not under the powerful pens of Rucka and Williams? Of course. Williams III's anticipated Batwoman series, and to learn that this isn't happening? Heartbreaking. I can't think of a book I was looking forward to more than Greg Rucka and J.H. On a selfish level I'm also worried like hell. Rucka has up his sleeve - which if the interview is any indication is a TON of amazing stuff. I look forward with great excitement to more Stumptown, more Queen & Country, and more whatever else Mr. I haven't tried any of Rucka's Queen & Country prose novels yet (though it's on my list) but if he's also going to return to the comic series that he promised to one day return to, which is sounds like he eventually will, then even better.

So hopefully this move away from doing a million books for DC will solve that problem (according to Rucka's interview we can expect #3 in May and #4 in June before a little hiatus). And while we're talking about issue #2.it's April 2010, and we've only had two issues since the book debuted in November 2009. Stumptown is probably my favorite book right now, and we're only on issue two. I couldn't wish success on any writer more (not that he needs it) and I'm thankful for his sake, and ours, that he has the freedom to go and do exactly what he wants to do whether that be prose novels, screenplays, comics, and everything in-between. Rucka for doing what he wants, what he feels is right, and what he believes will reward him most (in a myriad of ways). Before I start point by pointing this for myself, let me first offer congratulations to Mr.
