Doesnt DC have a digital market?

Doesnt DC have a digital market?

what does that have to do with the topic?

 

[Sage Leviathan]

I assumed that they were being cancelled because of sales,
in which case i also assumed that, if they had comics that were pay-to-download,
there might be more customers.

 

[randomdude]

oh, they do have digital comics.

Won't be overwhelmingly sad to see Legion & Dial H go. I thought they were arse.
I was getting into Threshold but it isn't the end of the world that it's gone.
Demon Knights.... NOOOOOOOOOO!

I'll slap your shit son. Dial H was one of the best Second Wave books that came out.

Go right ahead, but you're not going to change my opinion that it was awful. I've heard loads of people rave about it, and my friend gave me the issues to read and I did, I read all of them up to date and I think it's not very good.

And I'm sorry, but Earth 2 is, without a single doubt in my mind, the best of the Second Wave. Hell it might just be my favourite book out of the 52! (aren't there 54 now or something?)

It's not Aquaman so I'm cool.

I'm pretty sure that's selling quite well and is no danger of being cancelled any time soon. God, at least I hope not?

Yeah it's one of their top titles atm I think.

Second to Earth 2 of course

 

[Briggs8417]

Second to Earth 2 of course

I meant in sales , but Earth 2 is really solid. My favorite DC story atm is either Shazam. Vibe has been winning my heart recently to be truthful though lol.

 

[EGGXI]

DC has done the impossible... they made me care about Vibe.

 

[GearDigital]

I don't read any of those so no skin off my back.

If ever you wanted to know how some of your favourite titles are doing, the monthly breakdowns on this site are pretty good to predict what's about the get cancelled. http://comicsbeat.com/dc-comics-month-to-month-sales-march-2013-now-with-10-year-comparisons/

Just remember it's a couple of months back.

 

[chessmaster]

I'm not surprised. Those aren't exactly popular names.

 

[fury714]

Ah yes. The good ol' DC chopping block. Legion doesn't surprise me, but Dial H is a shame though, kinda interested in it. Speaking of cancellations, it's sad that Grifter and Deathstroke got the axe, I blame the Liefield chapter. Ugh. I would have wanted to explore Grifter more.

Three of the four titles Liefeld worked on have been cancelled....
Liefeld: Literally cancerous for comic books.

So how many new 52 books have been cancelled, do you think this was their plan to begin with, so that they cancel so many books they won't have to print New 52 on the covers to save money on ink? What exactly is the comic number now anyways?

 

[randomdude]

i don't know, but when will it stop being new 52?

 

[ICE_C0LD_ZERO]

Inb4 The New52 becomes a Batman/Superman/GL fest. Almost all of the titles of "The Dark" we're cancelled, despite being very well written. It's the people's fault too because they throw their money at garbage titles like Batman the Dark Knight, Red Lanterns and Catwoman

at least we'll get larfleeze, if the team is good then it has a lot of potential.

 

[TotteryManx]

I was really worried it was Animal Man getting the ax. I am enjoying the hell out of that series so far.

I am not really sure about that particular title. Haven't touched any of the N52 GL series but I heard that all of them except the main one are garbage
