DC Comics Casualties Coming in March

Since DC will be introducing 24 new titles to supplement its ongoing series this summer, that means something (okay, a lot of somethings) has to go.

Here are the titles being canceled in the wake of DC‘s “Convergence” storyline in April and May:

• Aquaman and the Others #11
  Arkham Manor #6
  Batman Eternal #52
  Batwoman #40
  Earth 2: World’s End
  Green Lantern: New Guardians #40
  Infinity Man and the Forever People #9
  Injustice: Gods Among Us – Year Three #12
  Klarion #6
  The New 52: Futures End
  Red Lanterns #40
  Secret Origins #11
  Star-Spangled War Stories Featuring G.I. Zombie #8
  Swamp Thing #40
  Trinity of Sin #6
  World’s Finest #32

It’s a shame that Swamp Thing wasn’t able to hang on, and I suppose there will be no need for an Earth 2 title after “Convergence.” We shall see.

 

 

 

 

 

RIP ALCATRAZ

ALCATRAZ, J.J. Abrams’ big contribution to the network TV lineup last fall, was officially executed by Fox this week, after just one brief season of 13 episodes — a decision that was criminal.

So, this is me, being angry that Fox has canceled ALCATRAZ. I thought the thriller was really hitting its stride toward the end of its run, but of course the network could not take the risk of bringing it back when the world is in such dire need of new generic cop shows, dumb comedies and more “reality” series. It would seem ALCATRAZ’s crime was not being more of the same.
