Boom! Artist drops Orson Scott Card's Superman comic

The Orson Scott Card story has hit the ceiling! The artist Chris Sprouse has left the building and now the story won't appear at all in the first collection.

Here's the scoop:

"It took a lot of thought to come to this conclusion, but I've decided to step back as the artist on this story," Sprouse said in a statement released Tuesday. "The media surrounding this story reached the point where it took away from the actual work, and that's something I wasn't comfortable with. My relationship with DC Comics remains as strong as ever and I look forward to my next project with them." 

Due to the creative change, the Card story will not appear in the first collected issue out May 29. Instead, it will feature a story by writer Jeff Parker and artist Chris Samnee, as well as a tale by Jeff Lemire and one by writer Justin Jordan and artist Riley Rossmo.
DC is also looking for a replacement illustrator for Card's story.

Yes, this was a victory for us. Folks need to know the power of the geeky gays.
