World's Finest ending isn't that surprisng. Aren't they supposed to crossover into whatever the Earth 2 event thing is?

Man All Star Western is a bummer never read it besides a couple trades a friend had but it's so different from the current DC stuff that it's novelty was much appreciated.

Apparently WORLDS' FINEST might not be canceled. That's what cbr was told. I'm waiting to hear from DC. I would think they'd send out a correction since they're the ones that sent us all the solicits.

Yes no more World's Finest !!!!

Why would you ever advocate the end of a book? If it runs and you don't like it, it doesn't affect you.

I'll be sure to grab All Star Western #34 for the Darwyn Cooke art. Hope Francis Portela lands another ongoing after Pandora. I love his stuff.

@timelordscience: He and Grey are on the new G.I Zombie book. I do not really know how Batwing lasted as long as it did, its sales were terrible and I mean low even if it was an indie title.

Batwing. I'm surprised it lasted 34 issues though, it had a really good run.
