Many of us have been wondering for quite some time, "How on earth did Rob Leifeld get on a creative team with DC's new 52?" "Why is he getting another book after this one got cancelled?" "Does the man work for hugs?"
Well, he left DC last week and it looks like he's slamming the door behind him after he got into a pissing contest with Scott Snyder on Twitter yesterday.
I was on Twitter before Bleeding Cool put out is article and saw a bit of chatter about Leifeld melting down, so I went over to his feed. I don't follow him on there, but its easy enough to find. He was going after Snyder in public tweets, and those screen shots in the article of the Direct message exchanges between the two are from his feed.
His assertion is that Snyder and Greg Capullo don't really matter because its a Batman book and that's why it sells so well. So, the creative team is irrelevant according the Leifeld. Now, I remember when Greg Rucka and Drew Johnson were told the pretty much the same thing about Wonder Woman and the only reason people would buy the book is the Adam Hughes covers, and that came for idiots in editorial. To have this posted up in public by a creator is just staggering. Does he think Deadpool sell like he does just because he's Deadpool? maybe it had something to do with writer's taking his Deathstroke knockoff and writing the hell out of him to make him appeal to an audience.
