From DC Comics Confirms June Mini-Relaunch As They Cancel 12 Books – Green Lantern Corps, Star Spangled War Stories, Infinity Man And The Forever People, Secret Origins, Red Lanterns And Swamp Thing (UPDATE – And Aquaman And The Others, Klarion, Trinity Of Sin, Batwoman, World’s Finest And Arkham Manor) Posted December 15, 2014 by by Rich Johnston We told you that DC Comics would be having a mini-relaunch in June. Relaunches, new titles, all to follow the April/May Convergence event. Well, DC Comics solicitations being released today do seem to confirm that, so far announcing the cancellation of Green Lantern Corps, Star Spangled War Stories, Infinity Man And The Forever People, Secret Origins, Red Lanterns and Swamp Thing as well as the expected conclusion of Futures End and World’s End. UPDATE: And Aquaman And The Others, Klarion and Trinity Of Sin UPDATE x2: And Batwoman, World’s Finest, Arkham Manor. The yes, the end of Batman Eternal too is also expected, though the latter is expected to be part of the mini-relaunch. Ad the end of Injustice: Gods Among Us Year Three. More to come? |

Is AQUAMAN and the OTHERS along with World's Finest are being canceled? ... I'm shocked!
How about Secret Origins too?

There are a few books with low $ales that haven't yet been cancelled. I wonder if these titles could also be on the chopping block?
Red Hood and the Outlaws
Justice League 3000
Constantine
All three of these titles are selling lower than Worlds' Finest and Secret Origins.

None of those would surprise me getting the axe.
Instead of completely cutting RH&tO, they should change it up a bit, as I think Jason is strong enough to carry a title, but maybe rotate Roy or Kory out and add other Outlaws.

Damn, I can't believe they're axing Batwoman and cutting Arkham Manor seems weird as that just started though perhaps it was always meant to be finite.

Anymore I think that's the strategy :
Really, it's a mini, but let's run it as an ongoing and maybe squeeze a few extra issues in, and, who knows, maybe it'll hold.

I lose just three: Worlds' Finest, Green Lantern Crops and Aquaman and the Others.
Odd that Earth 2 is not cancelled. If the planet is destroyed, do they just move one planet down the road?
I'm surprised by three cancellations in the line, but I think the Green Lantern books are going to get shuffled. I think there will be at least one more besides Green Lantern and Sinestro.
No telling what will debut in June, so I'll just hope for the best.

This news really kills me because once you like a series of books and starting to love them and soon that feeling (love them kicks in) DC Comics comes around and tells you that they are cancelling the book and that's how I love about Aquaman and the Others and World's Finest and wham DC Comics doesn't care about the reader who loves the book that doesn't sell so well. I just can't stomach another round of cancellation and having said that; I'm tired of finding new books to love and once you find them the vicious cycle continues as books either get the chopping block or not. Having said that, I'm not planning on finding new replacements for the three books that been cancelled because of the awful vicious cycle that I've mentioned earlier.

I survived the DC Implosion of 1978. I can survive pretty much anything. |

I survived the DC Implosion of 1978. I can survive pretty much anything. I was graduated out of high school in 1978 and did not read Comic Books from 1977 to 1981 because I was too busy with School having graduated twice - once in High School and Community College. And, I do not know anything about the DC Implosion of 1978. |

Red Hood is being cancelled I heard I guess that is good news then. I would like to see Arsenal in a title that I can actually read. I have long been a Roy Harper fan. Thanks for sharing this.  |
