Issue #50 of Red Hood and the Outlaws will be Scott Lobdell’s last work with DC Comics, the writer announced today. He broke the news on his Instagram account.
“I’m stepping away from only remaining freelance work on Red Hood and The Outlaws, effective immediately,” the statement reads. “Issue #50 out in October will be my final issue.”
He goes on to say, “While I’m profoundly grateful for the last ten years on a book telling the story of a tragically flawed man in search of redemption, I depart certain that my vacancy will be filled by a dynamic new voice.”
Lobdell is one of many figures in the comic book history with a past of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior. In 2013, Lobdell admitted to and apologized for harassing writer/artist MariNaomi. Since then, several other allegations against Lobdell surfaced.
