There is no way Phantom Stranger gets canceled so soon, the same with the "honorable mention" SOS. Not only is it too soon to cancel the books, but I think both are very good. Honestly, I wish DC would stop cutting books so often. They need to let the books evolve more before sending them the ax. Plus, its never fun to worry that one of the books on your pull list will get chopped.
Dial H, Phantom Stranger and the Ravagers were dead on arrival, so sooner or later those titles are getting the axed.
Firestorm was really disappointing in a lot of areas, and after 8 issues or so it seemed unlikely this title would make it.
Batwing was surprisingly very good. Ben Oliver and Winick had struck gold, and it was the Dark Horse success of the New 52 (no not Aquaman, he's had success but the potential was always there and he was popular a few decades back.) Still with Winick and Oliver off the book started to slide, and DC not pushing it as they have other titles. I'm hopeful it can reach 24 or 25 issues.
I really want Sword of Sorcery, and DCUP to last, because Christy Marx is truly amazing, and Amethyst is awesome too. And I want DCUP to survive because more b-list characters need to be exploited!
