Nothing of value was lost.

Is it true he sent revenge porn of his wife out and that’s why Marvel won’t hire him anymore? Apparently a Marvel artist shared as much.

>>152066038
>Venom is made an Avenger, gets to lead them against Knull, and Carol Danvers says he’s sexy
Crazy Marvel let him publish thinly-veiled self-insert fanfiction. He wasn’t even a good writer, he was constantly explaining things on Twitter that his terrible book failed to convey

>>152067675
Qrd?

>>152066038
Lying about being in a car crash is such a middle school tier lie that I almost have to respect it coming from a grown man

>>152067893
I don't think he's lying about the crash but I definitely think he's lying about the amnesia

As far as the disappearing, I think he expected to find the red carpet rolled out and instead found that the corporate wheels kept turning without him

>>152067675
I know the people who spread the rumour on Twitter and I wouldn't trust them. They were doing it to "get back at him" for using AI.

It's more likely he got drunk in a Marvel's executive or editor party and pissed on their carpet.

>>152067675
They probably don't want to hire him because he's a junkie

>>152066038
Is this one of the guys that drove Piskor to off himself?

>>152066038
Donny Cates is a guy? They way he is talked about I thought he was some prissy post menopause bitch.

>>152066038
Apparently he's working for fucking Mr. Beast now

>>152067850
>Cates and his wife got divorced
>Cates spergs out and texts nudes his ex sent him when they were together to Marvel employees
>Also he might have picked a fight with his ex’s new boyfriend and gotten the crap beaten out of him instead of being in a car crash like he claims
That’s pretty much the extent of it aside from rumors he’s also doing drugs again like >>152069037 said. Something must have happened for Marvel to quietly cut ties with him the way they have.

>>152066038
Has he ever written anything good?

>>152070450
Interesting
>>152071757
Nah. This dude has always sucked ass. If a writer gets randomly propped up by the industry as the new hot thing be sure and avoid them like the plague.

>>152067675
I thought he was blacklisted due to peeing on some executive's carpet during an SDCC party

>>152070450
>>Also he might have picked a fight with his ex’s new boyfriend and gotten the crap beaten out of him
I hope he announced himself as the writer of KNULL and Venom before challenging the guy.

>Al Ewing will be steering the ship when it comes to Marvel's plans for Knull, the Queen in Black event, and Venom

we should consider ourselves lucky

>>152072402
why, he sucks too

>>152073452
Even if you hate Ewing, Cates is in a special class of suck that only Cullen Bunn and Jason Aaron can approach.

>>152066038
Anons i never finished Crossover, does any of that have to do with >>152067675

>>152070450
>Also he might have picked a fight with his ex’s new boyfriend
How do women recover so quickly? or were they fucking around before the divorce?

>>152074141
> Cates' ex is dating Paul
> Cates comes in like Quesada spider boi and gets his ass beat by MJ's bull

lmao

What is with comic book writers and getting divorced? Sounds like they all do it except for the ones that are gay so they don't get married to begin with.

>>152074190
most people get divorced.

>>152066038
has he ever written a single good comic in his life?

>>152074201
They should be better then. My dad has been divorced zero times.

>>152073496
That's unfair on Bunn, he's not the best writer around, but saying he's on par with Aaron and Cates for crapness is beyond that pale

>>152074172
Paul Pope?

His wife started cheating because he was relapsing and he started hitting her so she left him. The revenge porn is fake. The accident happened but it was not as bad as he claimed and the amnesia is a lie. The peeing on the carpet is also just a made up rumor however he did have a junkie meltdown over email with a couple marvel editors who quietly blacklisted him. No one at Marvel has said anything about the amnesia out of courtesy however he was warned not to open his mouth since it was a completely pointless lie to gain sympathy.

And Knull is just as bad as Batkek, but at least Batkek was at least partially tongue in cheek, and we even had Superboy Prime saying he couldn't even muster up the effort to care about him.
