I'm pretty sure Gotham Academy does well digitally and in trade lol.

Yeah, but like, mid-second arc, we were all expecting the axe to come down.
That was due to a lack of understanding on our part.

Yeah, that's probably me. And it's less that they've had a Sonic trade late, it's more that they had spiraling delays for like a year and a half for their entire Sonic/Mega Man trade lines, and were unable to get ANYTHING out in that range. And during that time period they cancelled several of their trade lines (they're now down to just the "up to date" (as in now horribly behind as well) post-reboot line of trades and Sonic Boom, whereas they've cancelled the Sonic Saga (collected old stuff once the good author came on), Sonic Archives (reprints of the really old stuff), Sonic Legacy (Black and white omnibuses, ala Essentials), Sonic Universe (the spin-off series), and Mega Man trades).
It's a freaking baffling mess, and I've seen nothing in terms of any official statements from Archie to explain it or at least say "oh, we had some issues, but we should definitely be back on track by this date". Hell, I'm pretty sure we only know those lines are cancelled because they had their Amazon pages wiped out.
And that's why I'm never bothering to try to wait for anything in print from Archie anymore and just do digital.

No, nobody reads the Valiant solicits. All that was just for you.

I genuinely did want to include them, though. Because Generation Zero is fantastic.

WHY NO LINK THO
I remember that! Every month just before solicits dropped the handwringing would start, then the celebrations when it went uncanceled. Good times. I think it's sticking around for the long haul at this point.
NOT WRONG THO
BTW, everybody should check out Atomic Robo. Current arc is really fun.

I trade-wait that book, but I have all of the individual volumes and can vouch for the quality.
Oh right, on the matter of Jem, Sophie Campbell is off it, right? Which issue did she go up through, and has the visual identity of the book held together after she left? I'd been enjoying the series quite a bit, but that one was leaning especially hard on the visuals, so I've been kind of worried since I heard about that. But I'm a filthy trade-waiter to a large degree, so I still haven't hit that changeover myself.

He's going to remind you you can read it for free online...
It features all of Valiants greatest characters in one picture!

It's also available for free (LEGALLY!) online, for those of you who can handle that 3-pages-per-week lifestyle.

Not even a little bit curious about Millar and Capullos book, reborn?
BTW, making the list for image is fucking unfair. I could have picked 12 or more books to feature.

Young Animals getting its own banner? I look forward to our Hanna-Barbera future.
As many Rebirth books continue sputtering out, you would think I'd turn to the glorious revival of Marvel Now Again. You'd be wrong, since the MU model essentially guarantees I'll trade wait their stuff. I can't justify buying Marvel monthlies, maaaybe one or two books that really interest me.
Image stays winning. Backlogs forever.

It just got a banner because it is getting its big launch this month and we wanted to celebrate it.
Image titles are awesome.

Put those under DC instead of Mohawk Quinn! Or don't,
I am actually not against them having their own banner if it stays as its own thing. I do love the art in its banner. I like getting to highlight lots of books. I did totally forget the Hanna stuff though. Ill be honest about that.
Speaking of those books. I just went looking on Amazon for release dates of the TPs and Flintstones is not out until April 10th 2017. WTF. DC is so bad at trades. All of those books are listed as Vol 1 but Wacky Raceland is just listed as TP. Usually when that is the case it means a book is cancelled. Has that book been quietly killed?
Wacky Raceland is the worst selling one so it's possible.

Do it. That series is incredible.
I think what's really infuriating about Mockingbird's cancellation is the first trade comes out at the end of this month. Maybe see how it does until January or something before axing it, ya idiots.
I wonder what the two books Cain will be writing for. At least Marvel to smart enough to keep her.

I feel like every time Marvel cancels something, it's only because they got an idea for another Avengers book.
I'm sure people will get a Solo or Foolkiller book...LOLNOPE. Sadly, I think the digital sales weren't up to snuff.
Also, Bendis prevented Doom Man and Riri anywhere near the Waid teams
Where did you see that she's writing other books?
Then how is Doom
joining the Avengers?
That image was before Ben put the hammer down.
Waid said last week that it's still happening lol.
"@ChelseaCain: Also, looks like I'm going to be doing two new ongoing titles for @Marvel. But can't say more than that right now."

If she's doing two ongoings then a part of the reason Mockingbird was canceled so fast could be opportunity cost.
It would be cool if she got a SHIELD book.
Same reason why A-Force is getting canned so we can get a Kate book.
Sounds like BMB is gonna build up Doom Man first.

An an angry She-Hulk book.
If/when we get a new Defenders book who should be on the team? Strange would be my first choice, with some combination of She-Hulk, Thing, and the Netflix team lol.
My statement was kinda dumb because pretty much every cancellation is opportunity cost related lol.
