Bryan Hitch Announces The End Of "An Amazing Decade At Marvel"

[Mark Allen Haverty]

Bryan Hitch has been counting down for a while now, with lots of speculation as to what the countdown might be for. In covering the countdown, Rich wondered if the countdown was to "News that he's going fully independent from Marvel?"




Hitch himself confirmed that this is indeed the case, as he tweeted earlier today that,

"In two days time, an amazing decade at Marvel closes for me. What a wonderful time to have joined the party. Very proud and honoured."

He has not said yet what his plans are for the future, only that,

"So naturally new horizons beckon. Boy ate they something. See you there."

The "Boy ate they something" line sticks out as a hint to something, which has led Ethan Van Sciver to post some speculation of his own, as he has commented,

"Now look, I don't know ANYTHING. I keep my eyes on my own paper and don't ask for info about other stuff DC is doing unless I think I want it. But gee. This line is weird: "Boy Ate They Something." B.A.T.S. (don't know why "ain't" is "ate", but whatever.) It would be nice to have Bryan over here drawing Batman, yes?"

When will we know what his plans are? Tuesday, January 3.


Then, we'll get to see if this is in Hitch's plans.

I think it's way more likely that his iPhone autocorrected "ain't" into "ate."

Exactly what I was going to suggest. Occam's razor and all that.

Matter-Eater Lad maxi-series. Has to be.

If Hitch winds up at DC, I'd much rather see him do something Superman, Justice League or Legion-related.

I think it's even more likely that he was trying to type "Boy are they something" and he missed the "r". Spellcheck didn't flag it because it's still a word.

Wonder if this means that the much teased Ultron War thing with him and Bendis is now out of the cards, or if the bulk of that is done and waiting to come out.

According to Bendis, Hitch has completed all of his art duties with Marvel, including his part in Ultron War.

That Batman costume is so much better than anything they have been using over the past couple years..
