So thanks to the ComicVine podcast I learned that the Great Ten was going to be canceled. I realize this is what happens when books aren't selling as well as the publisher would hope. My problem is that it was only 10 issues in the first place. They are canceling it one issue early.
What exactly is the point of this? All you are doing is hurting the fans of the series (it is excellent by the way) and depriving us of a proper completion. If you look at March's sales, Great Ten wasn't even the worse selling DC title, but it's the one getting canceled.
I find this quite disgraceful on DC's part. Take your lumps and give the fans their last issue.
Great Ten
Team » Great Ten appears in 60 issues.
The Great Ten are a team of superheroes sponsored by the government of China. Many of the characters are based on Chinese Myths.
Great Ten canceled?
I understand how you feel, I felt the same way when Exiles volume 2 was canceled after 5 or 6 issues, it is stupid. It's also very sad, for a last issue it is canceled, but on DC's side they are thinking like business men, making comics costs money. But who knows maybe sometime in the future...
This article says what I was saying but better.

So everyone get on your twitter or myspace and tell them that you'd like to see the final issue. Even if you don't, do it for me and do it for what may happen to you in the future!

Haha thanks, but seriously, they'd lose next to nothing if they were to finish off all ten issues. And if they don't put it out, they risk losing the readers that were buying this book in the first place.
I read DC titles amongst others and cancellations like this rub me up the wrong way all the time. Just knowing that they'd do this to the fans who have stuck with this book for seven whole issues pisses me off.
I kinda hoped to see the story of Socialist Red Guardsman and was disappointed when they finished on #9.
