Such a shame, the art and covers are really beautiful and the writings not bad either. Seriously bad form from DC here

So getting canceled for low sales (which it has) and having the character forgotten about would somehow be better? I know all the cool kids love to hate Didio but it looks like there's a plan here.

" @Silkcuts: Agreed, Booster was really fun to read early on now its just bleh. I LOVE BOOSTER and for me to say that the comic is weak now takes alot, so why not take him down an put him in the JLA WERE HE BELONGS!  Also this disdain for Didio comes from him killing off Ted. Sole reason i despise the man...well their are other reasons i do but this ones on the top "

" @Silkcuts: Agreed hes a pompous prick who has no idea what the fan wants in its comics. Sometimes he hits gold an its fine we love it but most of the time in the past years hes screwed us. "

how many signatures do you think we'd need to make sure he loses his job? "

" @Silkcuts: well he may not hate them entirely but that's because the idea was pitched to him rather then him pitching the idea but if he does wash his hands of DC, I can certainly understand why  I should've known I'd live to see the day when good comics were canceled one after the other so sh!t could be mass produced in their place...of course we all know the WildStorm line won't be canceled because Jim Lee is in a position of power...twisted system "

" you know this means they've canceled more titles this year then they've launched... "

" @Silkcuts: Don't worry, once Stephen King's arc is done, DC is going to drop American Vampire like a rock...(sarcasm and expletives deleted)...and I don't hate WildStorm either, they have good stuff...I'm reading their DV8: Gods and Monsters limited series and loving it but its sales were worse then Madame Xanadu. In fact come to think of it, all of Brian Wood's four titles from last month sold less then Madame Xanadu but he never seems worried about his stuff being canceled, does he have some sort of negotiated deal? I just hate the fact that the sales being low is a perspective thing...what DC calls low sales that require cancellation, independent publishers call their #1 hit.  But you know I've lived through all these cancellations so far, I'm just wondering which will be the one that finally has me giving up on comics. "

Son of a.......... 
 
First the Great Ten gets cut an issue and now this. When they did that with Great Ten, I dropped a DC title. This time I drop two.

Well, that's another series I liked...

if I had to list my five favorite Vertigo ongoings they'd probably be (and it ranges from month to month)  Hellblazer House of Mystery Scalped Unwritten Unknown Soldier  one of those has already been canceled and Scalped publishes so sporadically I can't help but fear it's coming to a close so if they cut HoM I don't think I'd have the same enthusiasm about new comics...of course reading old comics is probably just the way to go :(  well after King leaves they're raising the price, it's like they're asking for the comic to fail...idk...I personally don't know Scott Snyder from anywhere other then American Vampire so I'm worried they'll cut him short because his name can't support such high expectations from the execs "

DC is really showing no class... I can see why Rucka, Brubaker and Aaron left.  I can understand why Alan Moore hates them.  Matt Wagner is great.  Why are they not giving him more of a push?  I guess they just wanted the Character back.

He is power hungry I tell you.  Why not cancel Booster Gold?  Those sales can't be much better.  The product as well can't be as good. "

" @Nighthunter: Everyone of those writers was miss handled.  Aaron left DC in general, the Batman character may have been the only DCU character he had the ability to write well... and Grant Morrison is spearheading him,  Ed Brubaker left because editorial mandates messed with his characters when writing DCU stories and he just happened to be low enough on the totem that it was messing with him.  We also can't forget that he ended up moving away from the DCU into the lower sales books, and I admit Marvel was a better move for him.  Alan Moore is the greatest example of miss handled... would you honestly love DC if you were him?  Marvel he's being a little hard on maybe, but its just being screw so much why trust the big two?    Fair Wagner can't write as many series at the same time as others, but Sandman Mystery Theatre and now Madame Xanadu now gone... I can't imagine another Vertigo series from Wagner.  Booster Gold sales shot up because of Blackest Night, it was stupid low before that.  It is also a series that doesn't do as well in trades compared to a lot of Vertigo series and the quality of it is no where the level of 2/3 if not all the actual writing quality of the current Vertigo stable.  I just tossed out the name Booster Gold because it came to be. But yes would be less sad if Booster lost his series compared to any of the Vertigo series that was just canceled this year.  Madame Xanadu is a better series... It sold better then the WSU series and a few of the other Vertigo series, it was punished because Didio wants all his toys back, even the ones that were lent way before they were his. "

" @Nighthunter: Just wondering, do you really read any Vertigo?  If you say fables and leave it at that then I void everything you comment on Vertigo-wise since Vertigo is more then just its creator-owned work.  It had history.  I know you read Batman related books... but Batman is not Vertigo, so I was just wondering.  I mean no offense by saying void.  It is like me commenting on the WSU.  I only know a little bit compared the the real readers. "

The people that Moore dealt with during his time in DC aren't the same as the ones that are currently working, so its not fair to make that comparation. Who says that the ones right now wouldn't work well with him if he gave them the chance, he worked fine with Jim Lee when it was over at wildstorm, he just doesn't understand that there are new people at the helm.
 
Sandman Mystery theater ran for 70 issues, had a spin-off miniseries and one-shot. That a series ends doesn't always mean that the corporatives put the axe on it, maybe Wagner just thought that over 6 years of working on a character were too much?
 
It still sells more than most of Vertigo's books. Also why the hate on Booster Gold? Its not mindblowing stuff, but it is a funny comic, we should have some of everything in the market. I can't think of any other comic besides JL: Generation lost that can also be considered as a mainstream fun comic, is the same reason why even though Jonah Hex is basically in cancelation numbers it still keeps running, because in all of the three imprints of DC there isn't any other western and as far as I'm concerned as far as western comics are, Jonah Hex is by far the best  right now.

" What is happing to my beloved Vertigo and DC comics!?   "

Guess I still will, anyway.
