Nicieza to take over Robin

That's a smart choice, if only because a lot of the same people who enjoy Chuck Dixon's style seem to enjoy Fabian Nicieza's style.

I hate to see Chuck Dixon go. On the other hand, Fabian Nicieza's my favorite comic book writer, so uh... I'm happy to see him come.

Back issues of Chuck Dixon's Robin was the first thing I started to collect when I got into comics. That said, I do like this move.

It seems like a lateral move, though I love Dixon's work but never forgave Nicieza for his '90s X-Men work. Dixon's last issue has already shipped, so off comes Robin from my pull list.

I came back to Robin because Dixon came back. Now that he's gone... well, it's pretty obvious. The whole fiasco with him also leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I'm tempted to drop the relatively few DC books I have left on my pull list.

I haven't been reading Robin, but I'll check this out. I rather like Nicieza's work, and I've been missing him since Cable & Deadpool was cancelled.

Birmy: Nicieza is forgiving for all X-Men work for his "I'm quitting" letter where he called staying on X-Men as the perpetuation of mediocrity.

Wow, really? I'd never heard that. Is this letter online?

I agree with the first commenter. I love Dixon, but I love Nicieza, too. Also, if anyone can take editorial lemons and make character driven lemonade it's Nicieza. His X-Force run kicked ass, and is also notable as the first time a good book was given over to Loeb. You'd think Marvel would have learned their lesson after that.
