Dc comics is cancelling some of the new 52.

new 52 canceled

I am looking forward to the Earth-2 and World's Finest.

[KEY ISSUES Comics]

Only 46 more to go. Are we placing bets yet?

Gimmicks will only work for so long; that's why they're called gimmicks.

+1...Glad the "Earth-2" concept is returning...

Rob Liefeld now writing three of those 46 books.

I can see where DC is going.

I am shocked!!! Why would they do such a thing! Next thing you know they will reset the universe again but we all know that will never happen!

i never bought 1 issue of any of them books so cant comment how i feel about being cancelled but look forward to Batman Inc coming back as i enjoyed that series apart from the last issue

[dicjones]

I read at the beginning of this whole mess that titles had essentially 6 issues to "prove" themselves and then those that needed to go, would go, to be replaced by other titles. This is not so much a case of "oh no! This isn't working!" but rather a case where DC anticipated some titles might not do as good as they had hoped and they had plans in place to handle that.

 

DC is trying to be very liquid with this it seems, trying to figure out what the market wants.

China Mieville will be writing the new Dial H series???

 

Wow. I LOVE his novels. Perdido Street Station and King Rat are crazy good. I look forward to this one!

[AKA Rick]

...and how long will it take to go back to the original numbering of some of the foundation titles?

 

Both Marvel and DC's marketing teams are run by non-collectors who are "short team greedy" only caring about putting "#1 : First Issue!!!" on their covers to sell books, rather than building their legacies and dynasties and committing to a series. Also, dividing their talent and focus amonst too many multiple titles for the same character or groups rather than have a single awesome book with great art and story. Too many Batman, Superman, X-Men, Spider-Man, etc titles that are mediocre.

I wouldn't be shocked if the main titles switch back to the original numbering by issue 20 or so.

marvel confuses the heck out of me with all the #17.1 & what ever they are doing lately I duno what is what

 

[supapimp]

Damn. The marvel new universe lasted longer than some of these titles.

That's an easy one to figure out compared to a lot of the things that go on. For example a # 17.1 would just be an extra issue to fit in between # 17 and 18. Trying to figure out the numbering on Incredible Hulk is a bit more tricky.

I'll get Dial H purely based on the writer.

 

I'm a big sci-fi fan.

[ComicConnoisseur]

Damn. The marvel new universe lasted longer than some of these titles.

Your right. I never realized that, plus now that I think about it Starbrand and D.P.7 were better then anything then what I READ in the new DC 52.

[krighton]

this is certainly Dial H for Hero's best shot to finally be a good read. Earth 2 sounds like fun, World's Finest should be interesting.

 

World's Finest: Written by Paul Levitz and featuring alternating arcs drawn by George Perez and Kevin Maguire. This series stars Power Girl and Huntress as refugees from Earth-2 struggling to find a way home.
