No, if JMS leaves, I doubt I'll hang with B&B.

The quality of work is irrelevant given the relative lack of support the book has.

I figure the book will be quietly cancelled if/when JMS leaves, but if I had a say I'd keep it around as an experience builder for new talent.

Like I've said, the good stuff gets cancelled... the crap sticks around.

Yeah, definitely gonna get that one. Disappointed, however, that it's regular size and $3.99 AND Cooke's only doing one-third of it. I thought I'd read it was one-half?

Oh well, still gonna get that one, possibly the G.I. Combat one with Sturges and Winslade as well. The other three don't seem to have the creator appeal those two have (other than on the covers).

Hey Mystery,

I saw an interview with Scott Kolins, and he was taking over the writing/art on Magog, right before it got canceled. I believe that solicited JSA Special is actually just to tie up the loose ends of the Magog series, and it would have been in his title "guest starring the JSA". As much as I love the JSA and Kolins, I plan on skippin' it!

On the bright side, Freedom Fighters can have my money instead!

Gah! All this talk about The Brave and the Bold getting cancelled is seriously harshing my vibe!

It's my favourite book on the stands right now! It had SO better just be on a skip month in September!

Which is entirely possible. Wasn't the Adam Strange/Lois Lane pairing only in the previous month's solicits? And wasn't the book bi-monthly before JMS took it over? Don't see why it couldn't be again.

I would be sad if that were the case, but I could live with it if that's what it takes to keep JMS giving us great tales here.

Those 'War' books all look great too but $3.99 for 32 pages? That's a price I am not willing to pay.

Titans, JLA, JSA, Outsiders - all blah to me. You know DC has seriously ****ed up those properties when even a dedicated DC-team fan like me can barely muster the enthusiasm to even read the solicits about them.

I assume they'll eventually collect the War Comics as a trade? If so, that's how I'm buying them.

Picked up Outsiders when they "killed" Batman. Dropped it before Blackest Night, long before Didio started writing.

Dropped all Titans books and JLA books in protest.

Kept up with JSA, but not buying Robinson's issues.

I can't believe that Games is actually coming out! The last I had heard, it was indefinitely shelved with little hope of ever being finished.

If this book can finally come out after, what, twenty years, anything's possible.

Black Widow's got a new creative team. Guess I'm dropping that. Probably Uncanny X-Men and X-Men: Legacy, too.

Nice cover for New Mutants #17.

Does anyone think this should be a monthly headlined thread (kept at the top of the forum) like the similar thread in the Legion forum? I thought about doing so but am a little on the fence. Thoughts?
