I'm kinda disappointed to see

Spoiler

Starro

back so soon. I mean, it was a great arc and all, but I was having a lot of fun with their run ins with Brainiac, the GLs, etc...I was hoping that would continue on for a while.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I really want the old cast to get more of a spotlight, personally. And I want Strata back. I really miss Strata.

Apparently this is among a bunch of books being cancelled in May, to make way for Flashpoint.

Doom Patrol and Freedom Fighters on the list too, that's most of my DC pulllist

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Aw. I guess I'll miss it, but if I'm being honest, it's been pretty mediocre lately compared to its excellent first few arcs. Lobo and Dox have been about the only truly entertaining parts of the series.

 

[yenaled]

The introduction of the Green Lanterns had hurt the title imo but enjoyed the last few issues focusing more on Lobo.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't mind the GLs. It's the scattershot nature of the team now that bugs me. Adam Strange is off doing his own thing with Rann, which we get to sneak a peek of now and then. Captain Comet and Starfire have been all but absent from the series for a while. Don't even get me started on the rest of the original REBELS from this volume. Even Dox himself has a tendency to vanish for large parts of each issue. The series lost its focus, as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Ah well, that sucks. I can agree it's dipped a bit and all, but generally, I was still enjoying it. I actually thought the last issue was setting up some potentially very interesting stuff with Lobo's folk potentially coming back (could make for a cool space event). Can't say it's surprising, though.

Though, as far as the cancellations go, I'm really surprised to not see Power Girl on that list. It's generally been an enjoyable ride but never sold much. The last few issues got some bumps in sales (probably due to the heavy ties to JL:GL), but they still barely broke the Top 100.

 

[Cain]

I'm sad to see certain titles going soon despite the extra money I will save. This is definitely one of them.

 

[Mystirious]

Yep it is a pity REBELS has been cancelled it was pretty neat

Have not been enjoying the newer issues as much as the early ones but still a shame it got cancelled

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe we'll get a Strata series someday...

 

[SpideyInATree]

That really stinks about this series I just really got into this recently. I've just enjoyed the overall arc with Starro and the whole space opera feel to the book. Also the great artwork by St. Aubin. I figured it was only a matter of time for the series but I thought it could squeak out another year. Oh well, guess I will find something to replace it...

Oh well, guess I will find something to replace it...

Grain alcohol comes to mind.

Maybe we'll get a Strata series someday...

I'mma be if they don't
