News is making it’s way around the various comic book message board that Kurt Busiek has stepped down as the ongoing JLA writer because of lingering health problems. It doesn’t necessarily mean he’s finished with the JLA altogether, he posted to the DC JLA Message Board that,
However, that doesn’t rule out me doing more JLA stuff — if nothing else, there are at least three follow-up stories planted in the “Syndicate Rules” arc, maybe more. So the plan is for me to write some follow-ups, on a schedule I can manage, and maybe they’ll be used in JLA CLASSIFIED, maybe in the main book, who knows? But I was just talking this morning with a terrific artist who’s interested in doing one of those arcs with me, and I’m sure he’s someone most JLA fans would be very, very happy with.
This is a real bummer. Kurt’s current arc is fantastic and the title could really have done with an ongoing writer of his calibre. As yet there’s no word who will take over the title after Geoff Johns arc. Given that Geoff Johns will be at Wizard World LA this weekend we may get some sort of announcement or comment about his arc.
And a last thing to ponder is that for the duration of this arc Geoff Johns will be simultanously writing THE FLASH, TEEN TITANS, JLA and JSA!!! ALSO JSA will hit it’s 75th issue and GREEN LANTERN and JSA CLASSIFIED will launch (yeah JSA CLASSIFIED – it was announced in the last issue of Wizard). The new Crisis isn’t when the Multiverse collapses to form it single universe it’s when all the DC writers merge into a single meta-Geoff Johns. In any other set-up this would like the prelude for a coup d’etat.
