The move came after allegations of sexual misconduct by Ellis were made by numerous women on social media last week. Last Thursday, Ellis sent a final email to his tens of thousands of subscribers acknowledging that he had "hurt people deeply" and apologizing. "I have apologised, I apologise, and will continue to apologise and take total responsibility for my actions without equivocation," Ellis wrote in part. "I am going to be quiet now, to listen more than I speak, for other voices matter far more than my own right now. I will be closing this newsletter. Thank you for your past support. Look after yourselves."
DC is currently in the middle of releasing The Batman’s Grave, a 12-issue series by Ellis and Bryan Hitch (see "Warren Ellis & Bryan Hitch Team Up Again for ‘The Batman’s Grave’").
