Poor Phantom Stranger, all that Blight business really draged your title down.
Six DC Comics Titles End in August 2014 [Update]
Bright side: Batgirl will Team up with Huntress (Mob Princess) and Black Canary written by Gail Simone.
They could reset Birds of Prey (and the others books) like Teen Titans and Suicide Squad did. Titans Secret Six and Birds of Prey were one of best seller of DC.
Yeah that team up should be good. I read Batgirl and I like Gail Simone's writing. Maybe they can reboot the title but I'd rather see them give Black Canary her own book. Also, Huntress isn't a mob princess in the New 52. She's Helena Wayne from Earth 2 and Helena Bertinelli was never Huntress she's Grayson's new partner in Spyral.
SAD TO SEE ALL STAR WESTERN go, but I was surprised and happy to see it last so long.
I will not really miss the other 5 since I haven't been reading them.
@granitesoldier: Even if Dinah doesn't get a solo title I at least hope she shows up in a book I like. And loses that terrible costume.
Agreed I prefer her old costume.
@longbowhunter: Lemire said that he's going to use Dinah in Green Arrow at some point (but he doesn't want to bring her in until the time is right).
No this is Bertenelli the Mob Princess. The dark anti hero that become a better person because Birds of Prey.
I don't read all-star western but I heard that was good, so i'm bumed out that that's ending, sucks that Superboy's ending, Aaron Kuder just started, had no clue birds of prey was still going, tbh ... Surprised both trinities made it this far, and I heard batwing was okay, too. Always sucks to see comics ending due to cancellation. I think Constantine and World's Finest will end next, just a hunch.
@daredevil21134: Im on the fence about Dick's new look......
No shockers here. Shocking is that Catwoman still manages to sell well enough to stay alive. Is it still a fetish book?
@daredevil21134: Im on the fence about Dick's new look......
He'll be back as Nightwing soon enough so I say enjoy

He used to have those Daredevil sticks and wear a mask......now he has a face,and uses a gun.....
It's big.
Im super bummed about Phantom Stranger. I dropped it while all that Blight stuff (which I wanted to read but couldnt afford) but I was going to pick it up again eventually. It was one of my favorite books.
Other than that I feel kinda bad for Batwing and All Star Western. I didnt read them but I heard they were good, and Gray and Palmiotti seem like good guys. I bet DC will have them writing a new book before too long.
That being said I'm sure we are going to get that long delayed "phase 3" of the New 52 pretty soon. With the amount of titles that have been canceled they have to be replaced with something. I bet we will get something like 15 new series. Hopefully titles like Cyborg, Shazam, Red Robin, and Booster Gold. I also really wouldnt be surprised seeing a New Gods title, and a 2nd Wonder Woman book. I would also bet on seeing a relaunched Birds of Prey, or a Black Canary solo.

Yeah,used to be is a running theme when it comes on to the New 52 lol
@daredevil21134: Heh...
I mean,Batman,Superman,WonderWoman....significant changes,but not radical,so the characters are damaged.....this.....this is not Nightwing.

I doubt it will last long.Dick and Jason need to switch places seriously.Jason is in Batman Eternal and Dick is a spy lol
No this is Bertenelli the Mob Princess. The dark anti hero that become a better person because Birds of Prey.
I don't want to argue with you but Bertenelli is a spy with Spyral and in the New 52 she's never been Huntress. Check out the solicit for Grayson:

@xwraith: Yeah I'd like to see her and Ollie back in action. Not necessarily as a couple, but working as partners.
All Star Western. Although I was trade waiting
damn. =(
@reverendhunt: thats how i think as well

Jason?.....(im behind on Eternal,im like on #3)
I thought Tim was strongly in Eternal
It's sad to see Batwing go. I'm kind of glad superboy is ending. Really it's not even actual superboy anymore. Hopefully the real Kon can come back in teen titans.

Batgirl, Batwoman and Jason Todd race to find evidence that may save Commissioner Gordon!
It's in August
Maybe the huntress becomes nightwing a side kick whenever he returns to the nightwing mantle...if he does.
ALL-STAR WESTERN. Where else in The New 52! will Jonah Hex appear?!?!
Hex is one of my favorite comic book characters! I just hope DC makes him a regular on another title...
Actually Black Canary is Dinah Drake Lance. Lance comes from her marriage with Kurt Lance.
ok awesome
My first thought at seeing the title was Birds of Prey. It hasn't been that good for a while. If they kept Ivy and Starling it might have been better. I'll still miss it.
Happy World's Finest isn't going anywhere. It's a lot of fun and that's what it's all about for me.
Not sad to see any of the others go but I feel bad for those of you that were reading them. That's a bummer.
Can't wait to see what they do with Canary. I thought the Bertinelli Huntress of the main Earth was dead?
I actually LIKED Phantom Stranger, but I am HAPPY his story is ending. After Forever Evil tie ins started it felt like his story didn't have anywhere to go. Pandora even MORE so. I didn't really care for her book, but she didn't really have any big impact on Trinity War, and that was supposed to be her BIG THING it seemed.
As for Worlds' Finest, I always liked the CONCEPT more than the WRITING.
Not shocked about All-Star Western but it is disappointing all the same. It was a very well written book and the side stories were fun too.
Surprised Phantom Stranger is ending, I liked the more religious and God element to it. All well, hint hint DC MAKE A DAMN SPECTRE SERIES!
Pandora I figured would end at some point, she's a cool character though.
Superboy never had interest in but the multiverse element interests me.
Never read AS Western. No interest. Jonah Hex ehh was never a character that "screamed" at me.
I also never read much Batwing, always saw it as too much of a wanna be Batman Beyond/Terry kind of character. Now that Terry is actually in the N52, not much point of Batwing staying around I guess. He'll probably remain in the N52 continuity though.
