Has the fucking book come out yet? It was solicited for a February 2006 release. What the fuck gives, douchebag?

oh, yeah, btw, for REAL - youngblood is coming back to image. why? who the fuck knows?

Still haven't gotten my lay, douchefucker.

Ha ha! The joke's on all of you!

Strikeforce: Youngblood Brigade was never released!

I'll let you fellows in on my real secret, since Rollo is my BFF:

I'm actually a financial genius.

See, I did just enough art when I was young to get popular. I'm still not sure how I got a job drawing comics, but I did. And I managed to become really popular at it.

So then I did some books on my own, and they shattered records. Still scratching my head over that one. Youngblood was some bullshit I came up with when my neighbors and I were drinking, and we starting reading some X-Men comics Marvel had sent me as comps, just changing the names!

When I was EXTREME!ly popular (ha! see what I did there?) I started soliciting all sorts of books and taking pre-orders. And then I didn't actually draw the books. I took the money (and it was a LOT of money), invested it, and lived off the interest and dividends.

I kept telling Diamond to re-solicit the books, and they did. And, when they did, I got more orders, and more money.

Finally, after a year or two, the stores would start complaining and want their money back. So I'd "cancel" the book I never intended to release in the first place. I had no problem giving them back the money from that particular title. In the meantime, I'd solicited and gotten money from six other books!

So I just lived off your money for a year or so per issue solicited and never released.

Boom, bitches.

Actually, it was a pitch for a new Teen Titans spinoff book that DC took one look at and said "Ew. Barf. No, Rob. No. Bad Rob." Then they swatted you on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.
Of course, that was back when smart, talented people ran DC like Jenette Kahn and Paul Levitz.
If you came to the current crop of jackasses with Youngblood, Bob Harras and Dan Didio would get into a fistfight over which one of them would get to choke to death on your cock first.
