The caveat is that Batman and Green Lantern books are the exception due to their strong sales. <br /><br />I mist admit I do find myself attracted to the books that are in danger of cancellation because they are more likely to have a proper ending.Hixnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-14307191335959853972011-08-16T17:10:44.381-05:002011-08-16T17:10:44.381-05:00More's the pity on that Doom Patrol trade.

My concern is we'll start to see more of that -- "Ah," someone at DC thinks, "they don't need that final [Booster Gold/Power Girl/Red Robin/Gotham City Sirens/Justice Society/etc.] trade since the universe is starting over -- they can just read these books fresh!"

It may have popped up on Amazon, but DC never actually solicited it, so they might have decided to replace it with a bigger volume instead of simply cancelling it. That's what happened to the fifth Hitman TPB, at least.shagamuhttp://mbbforum.com/mbbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-79662221427036723282011-08-16T03:39:42.341-05:002011-08-16T03:39:42.341-05:00well R.E.B.E.L.S was solicited yesterday.

I didn't know they had cancelled the 9th Booster Gold TPB, though. Maybe DC decided to collect Giffen and DeMatteis' last 5 issues along with Jurgens' Flashpoint tie-in arc instead.shagamuhttp://mbbforum.com/mbbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-39934580010081605732011-08-15T05:14:15.795-05:002011-08-15T05:14:15.795-05:00Doom Patrol is dropped?
