With 8 dc comics being cancelled I was wondering what comic is the biggest loss for you. Mine is Sensation Comics and Justice League United |

Doomed isn't really canceled, it's a mini series and will run its full intended amount of issues.

Omega Men for me, I was really enjoying the story & artwork which gave it a unique tone as I still wasn't sure who I should be rooting for and was suspecting that there wasn't anyone - shame...
As per Jonathan I think the article saying 8 titles got cancelled is misleading, I certainly knew that some of the titles were limited series although I can't recall if they were marketed that way but I did hear DiDio talking about them so I guess it depends what info you were exposed to.
Overall I am a fan of them going the limited series route, I hope it would mean more exploration of the lesser seen DC universe and also stop things being cancelled mid-story, I hope DC wraps their heads around how best to market and do it properly.

After hearing today that Omega Men would run its full 12 issues I decided to support it and grab what I could digitally. I figured if there was enough fans calling for it to change DC management's mind it must be great!

I'm Gutted,but but not surprised Gotham by Midnight is going. Loved the tone of the book and the way Jim Corrigan has been written. Whilst I enjoy Juan Ferreyra's artwork, the earlier issues drawn by Ben Templesmith were amazing.

Great to hear that The Omega Men is going to be running for 12 issues, it has been a fantastic book so far.
Out of the other book being cancelled I will miss Gotham by Midnight. I've really enjoyed the books run so far, I think having Templesmith leave the book really hurt it as he brings such a unique vision to his books that really fit with the tone of Gotham by Midnight.
I am most surprised that Green Lantern Lost Army is being cancelled, I don't know what the sales numbers where but the book started which such a unique and major plot point. The story feels like it really is just getting started, I'd be interested to see if Bunn can apply satisfying ending without it seeming rushed.

Sensation as it was the only Wonder Woman comic done right Agree to disagree. WW has been so enjoyable. And alot of people have been liking it. Around here that isnt a popular thought, but not everyone feels that way. And there is nothing wrong with enjoying it. I've listened to why some people don't like it, and i just dont see what they see. |

I just hope they are able to bring it to a good conclusion and not some half ass end. |

You know what, canceling books for the lack of sales, I understand. But cancelling them before the F+++ing trade comes out is just stupid. At least we will get the planned 12 issues of Omega Men if nothing else. And that book is going to read amazingly in trade form. The other thing I don´t understand is why don´t they try and turn some of these books into OGN´s like Gotham by Midnight. The single issue format just does not work for certain books.
Instead of doing Batman and Superman OGN´s DC should try to publish some of those more obscure books in an OGN Format. I mean Jeff Lemires Teen Titans Earth one book sold great, not even DC expected it to do so good so they didn´t plan for another Volume. People want OGN´s

I am really liking the WW right now as well not as good as Azarello's run but it has really improved from that first issue. I kind of regret not picking up omega men or gotham by midnight but may pick it up in the trades.

I think if DC engage brain they can have the bet of both world, create OGN content letting the creators run free and then review the finished article and decide if it would work as a mini-series or not - if it does then great limited series ending in a collected edition [with all the interviews / sketches etc]. If it is better as a OGN then don't try and force fit stuff.
I also agree that I think OGNs for peripheral DC Universe characters which Creators ASK for could create a wealth of material and sleeper hits.

The most frustrating thing is, each one of the OGN´s has been a financial success |
