Since the solicitations for October's DC titles came out, I was repeatedly asked if I am no longer writing Suicide Squad. Yes, Matt Kindt is writing SS #24 and I am no longer writing Suicide Squad. Matt's "3 Story" is one of my favorite graphic novels I read in the last few years and I look forward to reading "Mind MGMT" when I finally find the time to buy the first hardcover collection, which you can find here. Matt Kindt is a very capable storyteller who is doing exciting things in the comics medium and I wish him great things.

I killed my deadlines, I wrote my best, and I have no regrets whatsoever.

Thank you for the ride, for your support, for everything.

Have wonderful days and nights.

ZERO #1 is coming out 9/18 from Image Comics. Come with us.

He quite clearly doesn't state whether he was fired or walked but the mention of deadlines might indicate the former. Ales was one of a number of recent hires by DC from creator owned comics and some wondered how that crowd may cope with a strong editorial system. But Suicide Squad had received good write ups…

Are there more to come?

UPDATE: That's "killed" as in "met", folks.
