1 year into DC Rebirth no cancellations yet

>>91653220
Wait awhile soon.

>>91653220
There have been a few series that are on cancellation levels, but DC is keeping them going for a good look. That said, that number of titles is small.

>>91653220
they aren't cancelling anything because comics are all they have left

as soon as they start cancelling Marvel wins everything

>>91653247
So I guess you aren't impressed.

OP posed one question. This immediately takes it off topic searching for a "and So-And-So Company cancelled X-Y-Z"

>>91653289
Yeah, there are some comics getting to that stage with DC. Like Cyclops and New-Superman (which I hear is fantastic I'm going to start pulling it to support it).

But still, they are doing really well. Although I hear some issues with Batman didn't sell as well as New-52 Batman (Snyder's run), but basically on par with Morrisons run.

>>91653400
>>91653289
I meant Cyborg not cyclops my bad.

I really don't understand why they gave him a ongoing series.

>>91653400
I'll assume you meant Cyborg.
What's the riskiest title in the Rebirth lineup?
Cyborg?
Mostly it's a bunch of Superman and Batman comics and their spin-offs. Aquaman, WW and Green Lantern have eternal tenure, they were never going anywhere.
Cyborg will stick around til the JL movie, at least.

>>91653328
No it doesn't. Axed books are going to happen regardless.

>>91653458
>What's the riskiest title in the Rebirth lineup?
New-Superman, basically got thrown to the wolves, It was only through word of mouth I heard about this series and he had almost no hype

Cyborg, nobody cares about this character.

Blue Beetle, he works better in a team book and doesn't really have much fans.

I also think that putting Baz and Cruz together, two characters that don't have a big fan base in the main Green Lantern book is risky. But that has really paid off well.

I agree with too many Batman and Superman spin-offs. These are characters that need more development before being shoved into their solo series.

>>91653458
>What's the riskiest title in the Rebirth lineup?
New Super-Man
Superwoman

Gotham Academy son

>>91653220
Flintstones and future quest are cancelled. However, it is true that DC is quite considerate with its low selling titles, if they have potential.

>>91653617
What? They advertised Yang's coming to DC Comics constantly. New-Superman got more advertising and publicity than any other non-movie related comic.

>>91653289
>There have been a few series that are on cancellation levels, but DC is keeping them going for a good look.
Honestly, they can totally afford to. Especially considering that "cancellation levels" isn't even the same as "unprofitable", just "not as much profit as we'd like to be making".

>>91653531
Has nothing to do with being impressed by a year of no-cancellations or not.

>>91653715
Really? Well, I don't remember any advertisements for him. Might be I'm just misremembering, I still think he was just kind of thrown out there without any real help. Usually they introduce characters in big main books and give them a bunch of development before throwing them out into their own series.

I don't remember him getting some air time in any of the big books. At least for what I can remember.

>>91653685
Not a Rebirth title as far as I'm aware.

>>91653698
Are those technically "Rebirth" books? The Hanna Barbera relaunch started before Rebrith.

>>91653770
Oh but it does

From solicits New Superman at least is making it past 12 issues. Not sure about Superwoman or Cyborg.

>>91653793
You're right, Kenan was introduced in his own book and so far has only crossed over into another title once.

But it did get publicity on sites like CBR/Newsarama when he launched. That's what passes for comics advertisement nowadays.

>>91653803
It was, then it wasn't when it actually came out.

>>91653851
Same month, actually.

>>91653698

Future quest isn't cancelled, it's a12 issue limited series

>>91653951
I just know my first issue of Future Quest has the New 52 DC logo on it.

>>91653963
Retroactively

>>91653963
STEALTH MINI

Because they're choosing to put the low selling bimonthly ones to monthly and launch a #1 in order to get more money back that way

Also they're about to have an event by Snyder, they can probably afford to keep a couple low selling titles for a bit longer

>>91653986
Oh yeah, FQ started earlier

when is Dial H for Hero Rebirth?

>>91653963
That's what they usually say when a book doesn't make it past 12 issues. I imagine they had bigger plans with it before the sales necessitated that it be 12 issues.

>>91653898
Cyborg #14 was solicited for July, and #12 for Superwoman. Superwoman wasn't solicited as a final issue though.

>>91654026
Sales and delays.

I also think the HB imprint as a whole did a lot worse than expected. We're not getting Jetsons ongoing, right?

>>91653884
elaborate.

>>91653988
>>91654005
>>91654026
Untrue. It was always 12.

>>91654075
I think the those were just delayed. The back-ups in the crossover books teased Top Cap, Jetsons and I forget what the other was.

Been a fun ride so far.

>>91654115
top cat*
fuck

And I love me some top cat.

Top Cap is clearly Spencer.

It's going to be the best one, provided it actually gets released.

>>91653220
>impressed
Not really, especially since some of them are messes like Superwoman tat should have been canceled already. I guess the impressive thing is just how mediocre a lineup Rebirth continues to be.

>>91654115
>It was always 12.
No it wasn't, you fucking retard.

>>91653220
Yeah, that's nice and good, BUT we fucking need some exciting new titles
Everything these days is Batman, Superman or JL related, even more so than in the past
Even the newest launches (Batwoman, Super Sons, JLA) are Batman-related
Where is the JSA? Where is the Legion? Where is Shazam? Where is Firestorm, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, Booster Gold, the Atom, Swamp Thing, the Question or any number of interesting new ongoings?
I get that they want to slowly roll out new titles, but Rebirth is getting a bit dull for me

>>91654163
HOLY FUCK I DID FUCK ME HOW DID I FORGET SNAGLEPOON DA GAWD

>>91654225
yes it was.

That's why it's leading into Dark Forge with Hawkman.

>devolves into screeching about HB and Vertigo books ending

>>91654578
You're a fucking retard. Never once was it mentioned as a 12 issue limited series until it was announced as ending.

>>91654524
Hawkman is DEAD.

For like 3/4 months, but still.

>>91654718
yeah, I'm pissed that they put him in a shitty mini just to kill him... but if Metal leads into some nice Hawkman story, I'll forgive them

>>91653220
Believe me or not, I am marvelfag.
I bow down to DC.
Please, DC gods, share some of your magick to Marvel

It ain't shame to ask for help

>>91654257
oy gevalt. They reduced it, instead of cancelling. The Horror
Maybe, if you faggots were buying it, they wouldn't reduce it

>>91654658

>How dare they decide on a firm length to a series without declaring it to the masses ahead of time!

you sound like a faggot who doesn't actually read comics.

>>91654386
Why are you laughing, fair little blonde girl? It's true

>>91654867
Nobody has to faggot.

Its reduced because c list character with no big writer.

>>91654916
it's bullshit, I didn't not hit her. I did NOT

Is Dan Abnett the guy you put on books you don't give a fuck about? Has the guy written anything exceptional before? Even those Horus Heresy books don't hold up.

>>91653421
Because they want to keep pushing him as a new JL member despite him not deserving to be one.

>>91654957
Guardians of the Galaxy

>>91653220
yeah though im pretty sure around the one year mark certain series are definitely gonna end, while new series begin and take their place.

>>91654658
Prove to me I'm retarded with a source faggot.

I literally have been buying two copies of EVERY FUCKING ISSUE knowing damn well it was 12.

I don't know who or where you heard it from that it was anything else.

>>91654916
>Priestroke
>c list
>No big writer


how so

I really don't feel like going to find the posters but Aquaman was pushed back because the artist on the book is going to be a fucking painter.

they honestly should cancel some of the shit comics

>>91655313
Because it is.

>>91655258
Not that guy but the burden of proof is on you. Where was it specified it was going to be 12 issues? There was a tweet from the writer but that came around the time the penultimate solicit was published

>>91654524
When is Wave 3 expected anyways? Wave 2 wasn't really much.

>>91655337
then they'd have no comics

>>91655382
Deathstroke is fucking everywhere now. DCTV, DCEU, 3 animated movies or more in the span of 3 years, Young Justice, the list goes on. And Priest may not be popular today but he's a relatively big name from back in the day.

>>91655518
Back in the day=nothing. And was never really big.

Deathstroke regardless of his push is c list sales wise.

B list in comics even if he beats big names sometimes.

Wake me up when his gooatee, and past are restored.

>>91655583

The next arc has been confirmed to be ending in #18 by John Semper multiple times.

That's in November. I bet we'll make it to 25 for an oversized issue at least.

>>91655945
thanks for writing the tweet
that fucker blocked me on twitter after I followed him, because I have a pepe as a profile pic

Vigilante: Southland was cancelled after 3 of 6 issues. The final 3 are supposed to be in the trade which is coming out in 2 weeks......or according to Amazon November. I'm not sure what the real release date is.

Wacky Raceland was also clearly meant to go for more than 6 issues. That ending was rushed as hell.

>>91655945
didn't they already announce a followup anthology?

>>91656020

>>91656023
Southland had a bunch of problems, but it wasn't a Rebirth title. It was announced as a miniseries, but I would not be surprised if the collected edition never comes out. The first few issues had to be returned because they contained harsh language, and the title to be re-rated for mature audiences. I imagine that DC is crunching the numbers to see if it is even worth releasing. Plus, the issues that did come out had awful sales

>>91653220
1. They're cancelling all the titles nobody cares about instead. Gotham Academy, Earth 2, Hanna Barbera, Vertigo, etc.

2. Turning them monthly relieves them of what is basically an extra book a month and leaves them open for a new #1. Better to have 1 monthly book that sells 18000 units a month with a chance of having a new monthly that sells a little above that rather than have 1 bimonthly book that sells 18000 that will probably lose sales beyond that.

3. They know they have an event coming up which will bring in more sales that may offset the poorer selling monthly books. Also it's written by Snyder so it's gonna print money.

DC is more willing to keep books going if they aren't selling just look at All-Star Western that book lasted for a long time before getting the axe

>>91656233
And Katehunter.

Who are those mongrels that don't like Slade?

>>91656224
>1. They're cancelling all the titles nobody cares about instead. Gotham Academy, Earth 2, Hanna Barbera, Vertigo, etc.

Not Rebirth. Talk to me when New Super-Man or Superwoman gets canceled or Blue Beetle since they're the ones most likely to be on the choppping block

>>91656480
I'm explaining why they haven't cancelled rebirth books dumbass

>>91653617
>Blue Beetle, he works better in a team book and doesn't really have much fans.
You'd be surprised how untrue that is.

>>91656480
New Super-Man made it to 13 so it'll live to fight for another 5 issues at least.

>>91656134
I actually really liked it, the writer has a good grasp on dialogue but the plot was kinda corny

>>91656480
Yang is super popular in bookstores, I doubt this run will get cancelled soon, it hasn't even been collected at all yet

>>91656543
not that guy but it's more like jaime has quite a few fans but they're mostly loud and don't care about comics

also the book is shit so even if they did buy comics i wouldn't blame them for not buying that one specifically

>>91656543
Jaime is shit on teams, but it's true that he pretty much has your average B/C lister amount of fans. His are just obnoxiously loud.

Not like Jasonfag or Cassfag loud, but loud.

The best his book sold was pretty mediocre but sold bad outside that one time.

>>91655892
not that anon but as disilussioned marvel fan I think it's a fair trade

>>91654524

I'd love another decent booster gold on-going

>>91655430
Well, I expect The Button to lead into JSA or something
Maybe the others will come during/after Metal

>>91655430
When Metal is starting to be over probably
Monthly Rebirth books will done with their third arc by then, which is a respectable amount of time nowadays, so people probably wouldn't be too mad at some of the lower selling ones being cancelled, like Cyborg, Blue Beetle, and Superwoman

>>91656920
The button leads to Jay Garrick I'm pretty sure. Didn't they tease his return recently? Not sure about the rest of the JSA though.

I hope if it ends we get a justice league of China book

>>91656567
This I feel like how the trade does will decide how long the book lasts. Everyone on /co/ better go buy it instead of being cheap and expecting everything for free like usual

>>91657050
Isn't that The Rival?

>>91657870
I doubt it, people just keep suggesting that because his face is shadowed out. But the color effects on the Rival usually had ALL of him darker toned/shadowed out, not just the face.

Even if it is Rival that still indicates Jay will be used soon too, though.

>t.marvelshit

>>91654524
while most people are happy that the Rebirth era has no or only short events, in a way it's also a 'problem'
starting new ongoings after an event is a good, if not the best way to give a title a sales boost
this >>91658445 series came after 52, and there were many new ongoings after Infinite Crisis and Blackest Night, too
of course, not all of them were long-lived, but they had a better chance to find an audience
I wonder how they will launch new titles without events

>>91653220
>almost all of them are A-list books

>>91658906
Lel responses like this make me laugh so hard.

Stay salty.

>>91658924
I know right, it's not like a company would care about sales being as high as possible or anything.

>>91656480
I think that the most likely one to get axed is Hellblazer. It's amazing how little people care about that book.

Rebirth has been adequate but only that. None of the books are particularly spectacular. It's just back to basics DC which is what comic book fans have been wanting for years.

That said, Marvel ain't got shit next to them.

>>91659020
Constantine isn't meant for mainstream DC books. They'd do well to make him a Young Animal character.

>>91659020
It's basically the only magic book, so until they get another one like JLD or something, Hellblazer is staying.

>>91653421
because he's in the JL movie

>>91659108
>>91659118
Yeah, it feels so strange to have him interact with the mainstream dc universe, specially since they already have a modern vertigo equivalent in Young Animal

>>91658906

Yeah and DC is putting out less Batman books than Marvel is putting out Spider-Man. Things are shit all round
And this is just the shit with Peter

>>91656728
I've never seen anyone like any Blue Beetle, except those who liked Blue and Gold

>>91654957
He wrote the Vertigo mini The New Deadwardians that was exceptionally good.

Meanwhile, Marvel just cancelled Nova and others

>>91662174
Ted is the shit with or without Booster.

>>91654524
shazam is getting a movie, so its guaranteed.

>>91662277
lol ok

>>91662225

Marvel cancels shit all the time. Foolkiller got cancelled by it's second issue. They put out books they know nobody cares about and cancel them so they can bring in a new batch of #1's every month and scam retailers with the variants

>>91659065
> None of the books are particularly spectacular.

Debatable. I'd say Deathstroke and New Super-Man most definitely are.

>>91653327
Marvel sellings are a disaster just now, 8/10 in the top were DC books.

No, it's completely shit. It's catered towards new readers, reddit and marvelfags who don't care about quality.

>>91653458
They're trying to bring back Superman and WW cause basically Super was dead

>>91658708

He was in Constantine Rebirth.

>>91658872

Their first event is coming out in Summer.

Dark Days or Metal or whatever it's called by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo.

>>91653220
XD dude, seriously? they are lettin the ship sink before admiting they fukcked up again.
JLA sucks balls.... again

>>91655430
After metal similar to how new books came out after JL v SS. DC has always worked on the method of books either start or end as the result of an event or because the book has reached its conclusion

>>91662531
If Marcel had it their way, every issue would be #1

>>91653220
Wasn't Vigilante: Southland canceled like two issues in? Or was that comic so forgettable nobody ever remembers?

>>91658708
Yeah what the fuck? He was part of the league then, and now he's disappeared without a trace

>>91665812
>Starting next year they move to a decimal system so for a year they can go from 1.0 to 1.9 before rebooting again

>>91653247
You're such an asshole. OF FUCKING COURSE cancellations are going to happen eventually. Do you really expect series to just go on forever?

It's impressive and surprising that DC's gone a whole year without any cancellations. Kudos.

>>91665964
In fairness if a books making money it won't get cancelled

>>91656728
>Not like Jasonfag
Since when they are as loud as Cass fans? All the robins fans are much annoying and louder than them.

>>91659065
I'm glad that Rebirth has been a success for DC, but I'm primarily a fan of their fantasy/magic/horror books, and all I have now are the Young Animal books (minus Mother Panic, which is a Batbook with "fucks" in it) and the watered-down Hellblazer. New 52 gets a lot of shit, but it was amazing for fantasy and horror - Dial H, Demon Knights, Sword of Sorcery, Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Frankenstein, plus All-Star Western, which isn't fantasy or horror but doesn't fit into DC's mainline either. Okay, JLD wasn't great, but I thought it improved when DeMatteis took over.

>>91662277
With the current state of the DCEU? Yeah right

>>91667338
>Young Animal books (minus Mother Panic
Cave Carson ain't anything special either, it's just a classic adventure superhero comic. That said, they're well done at least.
And you mention DeMatteis but not his spectacular Phantom Stranger run? For shame...
Also, Frankenstein wasn't very good, sadly.
Anyway, expect more of the same from Rebirth, they're trying to kill off the mystical side, it seems.

>>91664988

Not really. They have a very small publishing line so I don't think there is going to be any cancellations for a while. Not that some titles aren't selling at cancellation numbers

>>91656548
well dont they plan on eventually changing it to justice league of china?

>>91670266

Welp, I was expecting great adventures with Hawkdude and Adam Strange. Thanks for the tip, I'll pass buying the trade then

>>91670332
>They have a very small publishing line

But thats wrong anon.

>>91653220
Because 90% of their books are their biggest names. Deathstroke is the closest book they have out now that's not a big name.

If half their books were c-listers or lower they'd get cancelled too.

That people don't see this is sad but expected.
