McDufffie must be replaced on JLA

I'm going to give you all an excerpt from a ComicBookResources interview with Dwayne McDuffie on his upcoming JLA run, and I don't even know what to say about it since it's just so damned confusing.

"The writer said that like his work with the hero Vixen, it's great to tell stories of villains like Ultra-Humanite, Despero and Per Degaton, who are not household names like Lex Luthor and the Joker. "I think, again, what's fun is, we haven't seen those three come up against the Justice League and certainly not together, and rarely at all. I don't think people know what to expect from them. Certainly, their motivations are very different than anything we have seen before from Justice League villain. I think this will surprise people," explained McDuffie, who added that he had no discussions with the book's former writer Brad Meltzer in terms of what his plans were for the three-headed monster.

"I had no idea where he was going with those guys," laughed McDuffie. "I just picked up stuff where it was and kind of decided where to go. You'd really have to ask Brad. There's a lot of stuff, he didn't get to in his run. People were fans of the characters showing up in the book, so I felt I owed it to them and to Brad to pick it up and run with it."

And what of the trio's recent reveal in "Booster Gold" #5?

"I actually haven't read that yet so I better," laughed McDuffie. "Oh, I better check and make sure that meshes because I didn't know that." "

Honestly ——— What the Hell? Pick up a phone, Dwayne!
