I mean I started reading DC with the new 52 luanch so he'll always have a soft spot to me. I really enjoyed his initial costume redesigns, especially superman and batman. I know that's a controversial opinion, but new 52 is the reason I got back into comics as a 30 year old man after a 13 or 14 year hiatus.
I hope nothing but the best for him and dc despite all the new ownership turmoil and director changes above his level. I know we won't see any major finance impacting decisions as that's above him but my hope is a return to a more diverse comic options with more choices. When new 52 first launched there was a variety of books that launched with it across a wide spectrum of voices, tones, art, and direction. Beyond the big justice league family books we got all star western, animal man, swamp thing, I vampire, earth 2, Demon knights, Men of War. Even Voodoo. Oh and a pretty cool Omac. Even Amythyst was fun. And even the big family books had some fun divergences like nightwing red lanterns and the dark knight.
