Ditto. They should have just ended the series after Rucka leaves. Bruce Jones as a replacement? Yeah, right.

I can't wait for this issue, but alas I feel its not going to be a really strong send off like I would've liked it to be. Honestly I can't wait to replace this title on my pull list, let's see, a good replacement that's semi similar to this.....Ex Machina? If ya guys are following any books right now similar to this post! please!
On another note Rucka + Brubaker on Daredevil....yes!!!!!!!!!

Farewell Checkmate, it was a great run while it lasted.

Not even giving the new team a chance? Come on, people.

We'll see about the new team on the book, but frankly I was reading it for Rucka more than I was the characters themselves. We'll see though...

I'm gonna stick with it. I'll only stop buying the book if it becomes bad, not because a new writer takes over. Plus I have a huge geek-crush on Sasha!

Bruce Jones has torched all of his credit in the Benefit of the Doubt bank.

What has Bruce Jones done? For some reason, I remember I don't like his work...

Wikipedia says Bruce Jones did a 7-issue run on Nightwing. And I remember Conor saying that Nightwing used to suck.

I was so dissapointed when I found out my copy duplicated pages and cut others out. I know have to wait for a reorder to find out what happens!

You weren't the only one - Eric Trautmann was short issues of 25 at Emerald City :(

My last issue. Good luck to those who stay on. I don't fancy the outlook after this.
