So What Is Brian Smith's Deal Anyway? (UPDATE)Rob Liefeld may have given the impression that Brian Smith was booted out of DC Comics. But it was quite the opposite. As he tweeted, Smith gave his two weeks' notice, and has left to pursue creator-owned comics. But what gave him the confidence to do that now?

Smith is the co-creator of Stuff Of Legend, for Th3rd World Comics, a title Bleeding Cool has featured a number of times. But he also has a comic, The Intrepid Escape Goat which he writes, draws and owns completely.

One way or another, I'm told that Brian Smith's exit from DC was down to some very excituing things regarding his comics. And the realisation that he didn't have to edit comics for other people any more… and so he isn't! He's following the path laid out to him by the likes of Image Comics.

Which was founded by Rob Liefeld on just these principles.

Isn't life funny?

UPDATE: I'm told that it is Stuff Of Legends. And it is being pursued by Disney. And working for Warners as a staff member might not be compatible with that…
