While you had to be a detective a bit to parse this image from Ben Abernathy, the tweets have made it clear: the former Wildstorm editor is back at DC in Burbank as Director of Talent Relations.
Oh, man, wonderful news. One of the best editors I ever worked with is back at DC. WELCOME BACK, @ben_abernathy!

Seriously, could not be happier. @ben_abernathy is one of the best guys in comics and he is DC's new Talent Relations Supervisor. LOVE YOU!

I am thrilled about this. It is terribly sad when a truly great editor moves on, you never stop missing them! YAY, for Ben coming back!

Abernathy left Wildstorm, where he edited a ton of well received books to become editorial director at comics app/platform Madefire, where he oversaw a lot of forward looking content.
At DC he’ll be on the front lines of making sure they stay current with the new waves of talent in the field, as well as veteran creators.
While it’s brutal to see so many people heading West, I kind of like how the new DC office is shaping up thus far..
