Apparently, DC is canceling four titles in the next few months. They are "Blue Beetle," "Grifter," "Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E." and "Legion Lost." Their final issues will be released in January 2013. Details within link. Special thanks for the Four Color Media Monitor.

There is a passage that delves into the Deathstroke solo title, which has not been selling well:

Quote:
 
Similarly, "Grifter" – one of several books whose creative fates were in the air after writer/artist Rob Liefeld's abrupt departure from DC – is ending with the wrap of a storyline involving Cole Cash's past. On the other side of the equation, former Liefeld title "Deathstroke" is gaining new writer Justin Jordan in January who will tie the book closer to his just-launched "Team 7" series.

As per Deathstroke's Team 7 role, DC will hopefully keep the title for a little while longer with its new writer. However, if not, then, at least, we were warned. Anyway, discuss and speculate, and so forth.

Psh, they aren't selling well because they have too much going on and people are poor right now.

Wow.. that sounded bitter. Note to self, avoid the forums when I'm ill. Guh.

Well, it happens to all of us when we're sick, but you're not wrong, actually. In the current economy, paying four dollars per issue is a bit much, and yes, there is one too many issues to keep track. I'll discuss this in depth in the morning or afternoon, but you're on to something, and I mean that in a positive way.
