"Ron Marz will depart Voodoo from issue #4. Joshua Williamson will take over the writing of DC Comics&amp;#039; New 52 title from Voodoo #5. &amp;quot;The only thing I was told was that they wanted a different direction for the book,&amp;quot; Marz told Newsarama. &amp;quot;I had a ten-minute phone call with the outgoing editor, who gave me the news. I asked what direction they wanted, but since the editor was leaving staff the next day, he didn&amp;#039;t really know. &amp;quot;So that&amp;#039;s all the information I was given. I haven&amp;#039;t heard from anyone else, beyond a call from the book&amp;#039;s new editor to work out details on my last issue. &amp;quot;I have to admit, I was pretty surprised, since I&amp;#039;d been making the revisions and changes that had been requested by editorial as the book evolved,&amp;quot; he continued. &amp;quot;But it seems like they want something other than what I was giving them. Obviously I&amp;#039;m disappointed that I won&amp;#039;t get to continue the story we began telling, and I&amp;#039;ll certainly miss working with the art team of Sami Basri and Jessica Kholinne, who are doing amazing work on the series. &amp;quot;I wish them and the new writer much success as Voodoo moves forward. I still feel like the New 52 was a very bold and positive move for DC, and for the industry as a whole, and I&amp;#039;m glad to have been a part of it.&amp;quot; Marz joins other departed New 52 creators including the legendary George P\u00C3\u00A9rez, who was writing Superman, Static Shock scribe John Rozum and Green Arrow&amp;#039;s JT Krul, who will continue to write Captain Atom for the publisher. Voodoo #5 will be released on January 25. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
