I'm off Birds of Prey.
Posted February 4, 2008 @ 12:27am

Here's the deal:

I was offered both Teen Titans and Birds of Prey at the same time. It became clear that I was going to be a bit behind on Teen Titans from the outset, and I unfortunately took longer to get up to speed than I would have liked. Because of this, I kept putting off Birds of Prey, where my debut was set for the end of the year. The thing is, I generally pride myself by being timely with my work, so the lateness on Teen Titans was stressing me out. The stress bred more lateness, which in turn bred more stress...and by late fall I was behind schedule on both series.

Due to these circumstances, I've had to leave Birds of Prey. My last issue will be April's #117. I miss the characters already, especially considering the long-term plans I had for the title, but I'm pretty proud of the five issues I did write.

The upside for me is that I've now been able to put my full focus on Teen Titans, ramping up production on the Terror Titans story and putting together some pretty fun plans for the remainder of 2008.

My thanks go out to Mike Carlin and Liz Gehrlein for their hard work, and to the unbelievably excellent Nicola Scott for the opportunity to work with her.
