To all who sent kind words: thank you! No bad blood w/ DC; just time to move on.
As of this weekend Greg Rucka, who I’ve enjoyed working with very much, has announced his intentions to leave DC Comics, and in turn leave Batwoman behind. I was afraid something like this was going to occur but held out hope that it wouldn’t happen. That DC and Greg could come to some sort of agreement, apparently not going to happen. So what does this mean for Batwoman and the project I’ve spent a decent amount of time and thought on? I don’t know. I do know that DC is firmly committed to this character from what I hear from them. So where does all of this leave us? I believe DC will want the character to continue somehow. In what form? I’m not sure, but she’ll be back, I’m sure of it. This character has too much potential to just go by the wayside. So we should be hearing some sort of news at the appropriate time I assume.

At the time the Batwoman run was ending on Detective Comics, Rucka'd made mention that he had a bunch of projects on his plate and that he was going to have to choose.

"There is no drama here, folks. It is as it appears," Rucka wrote this morning. "I’m stepping away from DC to pursue different opportunities. Nothing more nefarious than that. Nothing less sinister. Time is a commodity that is as precious to me as it is rare, and there’s simply not enough of it." In the post, Rucka stressed that he tells stories -- whether they're in the form of comics, prose novels or video games -- and will continue to do so. "All I’m doing in stepping away from DC is carving time to tell the stories that have been whispering in the back of my mind for years," he continued. "The last Carrie Stetko story. The next case for Dex Parios. The story of a family’s service to their country, told over two hundred years. The woman in blue. The other one, looking for a soul. The kids who take what they’re told. The killer who guards a park. The soldiers forever at war. The spy with one wound too many."

The last one is QUEEN & COUNTRY. The ones in between sound like new concepts?? Regardless, I'll follow Rucka and read it, as he's one of my favorites and an absolute top talent.
There are a lot of stories in flux for the writer, but hopefully by the end of this summer there will be some announcements. But the writer did go through a quick list of possibilities. He has one idea for a series of graphic novels, each highlighting a different American war, which would feature one family’s lineage taking part throughout. He’d like to have the same artist for every book, a prospect highly unlikely for any artist to take on, and a project that would take years to complete. Rucka and J.H. are working on one project that was described by the writer as “’Bladerunner’ meets 'Blake’s 7.’” There’s an “Arthurian thing” he’s working on. Rucka and Nunzio DeFilippis want to do a really scary comic book, true horror. He and Eric Trautman want to do a fun pulp styled comic, something akin to "Betsy Tomahawk versus Nazi Frogmen From Mars" as an example. And there is a web comic to keep an eye out for at this year’s Comi-Con International in San Diego .
