Perfect. You say the sweetest things...

Never had an issue with Bubbly, but I can see what some of you meant.

Was completely unaware that Leo left, and really can't say that I'll miss him. Never got why so many members were infatuated with him anyways...

Papenbrook, don't feel obligated to leave. Everyone can get a bit annoying on here, it happens. Hell, I went off one time at a ton of people in the After Dark group and I know there are quite a few people here who aren't a fan of me. You live and you learn. No need to post apologies, lol, it kind of makes you sound like Super Goku

You're not allowed to quit the 'Drome until after you tell me if you read the latest Rat Queens or not.

He said SJW not SJC although I guess the triggered part could apply.

I say we start a betting pool on who the next person will be to exit stage left.

Ha!
Actually, did you hear the news regarding that title and the hubbub about the ever changing artist?

Papen, while I do respect your decision to leave, I don't have anything new or different to say. It's not your fault that those people left, so don't take the blame. If you want to leave, whatever, it's your decision, I just don't think you should leave for something that wasn't your fault. If you are gone though, while I wasn't your biggest fan, I still wish you well.

No, what did you see? Is it being canceled? That last issue was terrible... a WTF ending (which wouldn't bother me if I had confidence in the series) and Hannah nowhere to be found.

Anyways Papenbrook, dont beat yourself up. Yeah Im not fond of you mainly because you could get too social justice warrior-ey at times, but you never hurt anybody or damaged the site.

Are you going to keep reading? I feel like I should boycott... and honestly, at the moment, it'd be pretty easy to drop the series.

It's clear to me that the magic of the first couple of arcs was due to a collaboration between the two guys. I'm fine with shifting art styles, but the story just isn't there, and I'd rather not line the pockets of a guy who beats his wife.

So it's less a boycott and me just moving on from the book.

Yeah. It still astonishes me that story and characters would suffer simply from changing artists, but that's definitely been the case.

If there were any indication that the man had cleaned up his act and was doing right by his family (while also staying the hell away from them, cleaned up act or not), I'd give him a second chance. But it sounds like the booted artist and the wife are right: this was always the team's plan, hoping to sweep things quietly under the rug and pick back up later on.

Appalling. Oh well, I've still got Clean Room. Didja check that out yet?

I think you'd like it. Very strong female characters, very unique story... quite gripping so far, IMO.

None of it matters but you still bring it up. Riiiiight.

If you're leaving for real, then I can't say I'll miss you.

Wasnt really a fan. As others have said, the guy could be incredibly stubborn. Also felt like he thought his opinions trumped everyones, just because he was himself. Confidence in your opinion is one thing, this was another
