DC Cancels Four More Titles This August
It seems like every other month DC Comics is canceling another one of their New 52 titles. Here are four more to add to the list. Say good-bye to Demon Knights, Dial H, Legion of Super-Heroes, and Threshold, all of which have been cancelled due to low sales.
“I Get really sick of people complainin about the new 52’s. It’s not because I think there’s good (And some of them really are) it’s just annoying to hear people complaining about the same things over and over again.”
Yup
