Surprise! DC announced that writers Tim Seeley (Hack/Slash) and Tom King (The Vision) have stepped off of the writing duties for Grayson. April’s issue #19 will see the debut of writer Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly (Hacktivist.) Joining them is artist Carmine Di Giandomenico (The Amazing Spider-Man,) King stepped onto Twitter to explain the reasoning behind his departure:
About @HackinTimSeeley and I not being on the Grayson solicit: something big and cool is coming, and we just needed the room to work on it.

Expect something big and cool from King and Seeley on the way.
It's important to (cryptically) say that what's coming continues our ongoing effort to elevate Dick Grayson in the DCU.

Also @JacksonLanzing and @cpkelly, who'll be writing the next few issues of Grayson, are pretty damn awesome. Dick's in good hands.
