Jeremy Adams has been dropped as the author of the continued DC Comics collection The Flash, to get replaced by Si Spurrier. And he isn’t glad.
Jeremy Adams is an motion/journey screenwriter and producer who has labored on movies and TV exhibits such as Supernatural, Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, Teen Titans Go! Versus Teen Titans, and Monkie Child, in addition to Leisure Specialist for Fullscreen Media, one of many preeminent social media advertising businesses. So he knows what he’s doing when he tweets. With the relaunch of The Flash from Si Spurrier and Mike Deodato after Flash #800, his last concern on the collection with Roger Cruz, Fernando Pasarin and others, Jeremy Adams tweeted
“Welp. A few months in the past I used to be informed my time on the Flash was corning to an finish with concern 800. I used to be (AM) very bummed concerning the choice. I’ve fallen in love with the West household and had many extra tales in thoughts, however, they stated they wished a brand new artistic and tonal path and, properly, that is that. Nevertheless, I AM endlessly grateful for my time with the Wests and all of the adventures we have had collectively. I additionally wish to prolong a giant thanks to the Flash Household – you guys are the most effective followers a nerd like me might ask for. So, subsequent? Inexperienced Lantern, a few motion pictures, and I’ll attempt my hand at a creator owned story that I hope you’ll be part of me for. Keep Tuned!”
Jeremy Adams has written The Flash since Might 2021, in addition to Flashpoint Past, Future State: Superman, Future State: Suicide Squad and Darkish Disaster comics for DC. However with the brand new Flash film out subsequent month, and Knight Terrors on the way in which, DC Comics is on the lookout for a change. Si Spurrier is understood for extra grittier, experimental comedian guide takes, and the phrases “cosmic horror” have been used. Jeremy Adams has been writing the Flash household in very healthful phrases.
The sensitivity of the changeover was famous in Si Spurrier’s tweet about the news, saying “What have to be talked about is that the present run is spectacular. No matter new realms & concepts we discover, we’ll accomplish that with respect and a grateful eye on the treasures we inherit.”
So if it is so spectacular, why bump Jeremy Adams from the collection? Feedback on the Bleeding Cool story ran thus:
Alex Wittenberg: Let’s go from the one most enjoyable and lighthearted run on The Flash in years to cosmic horror. I like Spurrier, however this looks as if it should undo all the nice Adams has executed. By no means thoughts that a few of us are simply getting bored with horror.
Paul Nolan: That is such a nasty transfer by DC. Jeremy Adam’s Flash has been an amazing run. Why change one thing thats not damaged?
D.Smithee: Rattling. Jeremy Adams was writing the most effective Flash in a LONG time.
djconvoy: Properly, sucks for Jeremy Adams, I assume. That is a disgrace; I’ve actually preferred his stuff. And that is saying nothing of Deodato, who’s REALLY sick fitted to a enjoyable, kinetic guide.
Although some have been keener… somewhat, a minimum of.
Guido Sardella: Unhappy to see Adams leaving, however extra for the cleaning soap that he introduced again to the title, making justice of Wally’s and the Flash household historical past, than for the meat of the tales. Love the sunshine tone, however somewhat extra substance, pathos and suspence I would not thoughts.
Response on Twitter has been somewhat extra… vocal. There was comparable response to Becky Cloonan and Michael Conad coming off Surprise Girl to get replaced by Tom King and Daniel Sampere… although Conrad tweeted the supportive “Fairly damned excited to see what @TomKingTK
& @Sampere_art have in retailer for us. We put a number of care into what we did, & recognize those that noticed the imaginative and prescient. I sit up for following the continued adventures of my hero in VERY succesful arms! 799 and 800 can be very particular.” However it is usually notable that Jeremy Adams’ new run on Inexperienced Lantern starting in Might has seen him substitute Mariko Tamaki who was initially introduced because the collection author. Yeah, all a bit fractious at DC proper now. And extra to come back.
