Feature: DC Writers CrisisDuring the final weeks of March, two writers left their respective series beforetheir first issues were released. Andy Diggle left for professional reasons onAction Comics while Joshua Hale Fialkov left both Green Lantern Corpsand Red Lanterns. The dispute is due to editorial differences which

conflicted with the story. Other DC Comics past writers affected included GailSimone, George Perez, Rob Liefeld, and Nick Spencer leaving to believe thenew corporate culture at DC with its parent company Warner Bros. creates astressful environment for creators.

After the launch of the New 52, DC Comics overwhelmed Marvel in saleshowever Marvel returned fired back with the launch of Marvel NOW! DCwants to get back to the New 52 levels however the constant editorialchanges within the company are stressing the creators and pushing them toleave. The fans feel cheated as their favorite creators are no longer on thebooks after they have ordered them.

After the Avengers film, the comic properties are valuable and could beworth between millions and billions. Compromise and collaboration seems to

be the key when working with major franchises. However when rewrites andredraws are requested without compensation then this puts downwardpressure on the creators to leave. This is causing more creators to createtheir own IP with companies like Image Comics rather than working forcompanies with corporate owned characters.

One month prior to the Man of Steel film, Superman debuts with twoongoing series including Greg Pak and Jae Lees Batman/Superman andScott Snyder and Jim Lees Superman Unchained. Franchises with multipletitles involving a single character or a team are difficult to justify the $3.99price tag especially for only a piece of a story. Most likely Scott Snyder willhave a multiple crossover event with the other Superman-related titlessimilar to the Night of the Owls and Death of the Family events.

The Green Lantern franchise gets a reboot featuring new creative teams. TheOrange Lantern Larfleeze gets his own series by superstar artist Scott Kolinsand writer Keith Griffen.

Trinity War protagonist gets her own series in June with Trinity of Sin:Pandora while the Phantom Stranger gets a title change to Trinity of Sin:

Phantom Stranger. The book will soon be followed by Trinity of Sin: TheQuestion in July. These books along with Justice League will build up tothe anticipated Trinity War event later this year.

MORNING GLORIES: TRUANTSMORNING GLORIES VOLUME 4: TRUANTS TRADE PAPERBACKIn the past Georgina and Lara are sisters and a girl named Vanessa who is sent from the future by an adult Lara. However Larakills Vanessa to prove her love to her father.

Four years ago six students are called the Truants which include Guillaume, Vanessa, Fortunato, Akiko, Ian, and Irina are sent tosave their spiritual leader Abraham. Two years ago these students went through the same trails as the present students of theMorning Glory Academy. Irina shot the father of Georgina and Lara.

In the present Irina shot Zoe and injures Hunter as the group joins Juns former classmates. Juns former classmates lead Hunterto the tower where Juns brother is conducting a sacrificial ceremony. Hunter is shot by Irina and runs into a future Jade while theghost monster named David kills Juns twin brother.

Irina is desperate to set things right and wants to kill the son of Abraham, Ike. Sixteen years ago Abraham leaves his son andtravels with Reginald. In the present Reginald interrogates Ike and asks him where the students from Woodrun are. Reginald

threatens to kill Jade unless he kills his father. As soon as Ike sees his father he shoots Reginald and the guards while pointing agun at Jade demanding an explanation from his father.

The first season of Morning Glories ends with issue #25. The 25th issue had less answers than the past 24. Some mysteries shouldend while others continue to evolve the story. I really wish I had not invested in the story in the first place. It seems all the storydoes it prolong the series further without adequate explanation of what has happened in the past. Nick Spencer has a ridiculousstory that is so convoluted that the first 25 issues of the story is a mix mass of crap.
