You know, I think it's a bit of both. I don't get the hate surrounding his recent work, but I do feel like the quality has stagnated a bit. BMB was one of those pioneers, in his own way, so I do hope that a change of scenery would reinvigorate his writing. The plus side for Marvel is that he leaves a vacuum for new talent to grow. For DC, it's great to have a comic great fortify their already great Rebirth initiative.
I did read about his infection, that's why I thought twice about including him in this post as it might be taken negatively. But then I thought, maybe if I don't mention it no one would even know. I was wrong haha! In any case, I do wish him a speedy recovery. I know he's going to bounce back tougher.
Thanks for the compliment, man! I'm glad that you've been enjoying it. I didn't expect to have this much fun writing it, so I'm glad it's translating well. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment!
