These deals always kind of suck for fans in the end, but good for him.

probably left because he was tired of trying to please sjws after the hercules not being gay scandal

>Feel bad for Hercules
wasn't it one of Marvel's lowest selling books? It's cancelled anyway

Wait, does the DC exclusive contract mean that he can't write Warhammer shit for the time being? Even the novels?

Either way I'm happy to have him on board, Abnett's a really solid write who does a great job writing ensemble casts.

I would assume a comics exclusivity thing wouldn't prevent him from publishing licensed novels

DC recently added Vertigo to their exclusives. He can't do new work with other companies but can finish what he's already contracted to do.

I think he was too heart broken when he realized he simply couldn't sabe his beloved cosmic franchise. Neither Bendis nor the fans would get on his side. He was truly alone the poor guy.

His stuff has been hit or miss recently but Hercules made it feel like he found his groove again.

Hope he can keep it up.

>Herc, a title that Alonso fucked up with by saying Herc isn't bi because he doesn't remember any instances
vs
>Aquaman, somebody DC considers a list sorta
>Titans, a franchise that fans will not let go off
>Earth 2, uhhhhh

I mean I'd probably take the latter over the former
