Geekscape Comics: DC Cancels Four More Titles

by Shawn Madden

This January will see the final issues hitting the stands for Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E., Blue Beetle, Grifter, and Legion Lost. G.I. Combat will also be ending in December, but is being replaced the following month with a new cosmic series from Keith Giffen called Threshold.

Geoff Johns and David Finch’s Justice League Of America will replace one of these cancelled titles but what about the other three? It’s highly unlikely that we will see Scott Snyder and Jim Lee’s Man Of Steel by that time…so does DC have two books that they’ve yet to announce or are we about to have the New 48?

Geekscape Comics: Is Rob Liefeld Planning On Leaving The New 52?

by Shawn Madden

After Grant Morrison’s announcement yesterday that he would be leaving DC it appears that Rob Liefeld may be next. Earlier today he tweeted:

After this caused a bit of buzz he tweeted the following:

Rumor is that if Liefeld can’t make the Hawkman or Grifter books work than they may be next for cancellation. Maybe he is returning to Image to focus on some of his own work? So, what do you think or do any of you care if he leaves the New 52?

Geekscape Comics: WildCATS Coming To The New 52?

by Shawn Madden

Bleeding Cool is reporting that Jim Lee is going to be leaving Justice League. And his leaving may just be for a good reason.

And it could be to bring back WildCATS. Yes…you read that right.

“I have been told by some sources that the book Jim Lee is leaving Justice League for, and possibly the only book he’d leave that title for, is a revival of his first, original title for Wildstorm, WildCATS.

A number of the cast have had their own books in the New 522- Voodoo and Grifter – while others such as Zealot have appeared in other titles.”

And upon thinking about it…this WOULD make total sense. They’re cancelling Voodoo and with rumors that some other titles maybe be cancelled later in another wave that means that Grifter could be among them as to incorporate the characters into this book. They definitely have established some WildCATS history with the daemonites (Lord Helspont) appearing and taking on Superman as well as the recent announcement that we’d be getting a Team 7 title. Now while this is all currently rumor its something i’d like to see being that I loved WildCATS in the 90’s and as long as they don’t treat it like the rape that is Stormwatch…it could turn out to be a really cool part of the DCU.
