Books like Justice League, did feature SMWW romance and it sold well. New 52 JL did great figures compared to now. I hope DC realized that people can be vocal online but they do not buy comics, and just because they like movies or tv, does not make them more important than other fans who actually buy books. We've said it before DC needs to cater to ALL fans but Rebirth did not and they not even looking to publish AU stuff as in the new 52. There were many digital first series to cater to older fans who likes traditional set ups and other AU books during new 52 etc. SMWW fans got nothing so far but DK verse. We waiting, DC , but if you take too long many going to go elsewhere. Not all are patient.
On and it should be noted Charles Soule was not a big name at the time. He did really well given the numbers for smww. Vol 1 remains a firm fan and critical success. SMWW fans will always be thankful to Mr Soule and hope one day he comes back. Tony Daniel too can come back anytime.
