Is this book getting cancelled? I'm hearing it might be. But I have no idea why, I don't know sales but I feel like it is very popular.

I sure hope not, this is my favorite book next to daredevil. I would be really sad to see it go!

I haven't heard anything on the cancellation front. The book is ridiculously good. Critics love it. Marvel is smart enough to let this ride a while even if the numbers are low.

I am loving this book, as well. I read the Thunderbolts run by Jeff Parker and although I loved Shocker and Boomerang on that team I would have never guessed they could turn this group into such compelling characters. Another great aspect.. Has Spider-Man even showed up in the title? I haven't picked up the latest issue yet but I get a real kick out of the villains of the story. Owl, Chameleon, Luke Cage and Iron Fist, you know Tombstone will be trouble down the road for our "hero". I first thiught the title was a lame gimmick but I actually think it's funny after nine issues, these are the same "Foes" Peter Parker has been facing for, like, 30 years. I have cut down my monthly titles to maybe five or six, but this one is always great and has really helped define these characters.

Steve Leiber put up a little sketch card of the shocker feeding pizza to the head of Silvio Silvermane on etsy and I jumped on that! I love the head of Silvio Silvermane and Shocker portion of the story, and I love pizza (wife and I got married at our favorite pizza place). I had no choice in the matter really.

Just started listening to the new TC podcast and i was immediately bummed out when i heard them say that this book is apparently getting cancelled after issue 15.It was to be expected, but it still sucks.

Actually issue #17 in November is the final issue, at least it seems it will be given a proper ending rather than being abruptly cancelled. It went longer than expected so I'm not that sad about the news...just a little.
