    Yes, there was a cancellation announce quite quickly, which I really didn't understand. According to sales figures, issue #1 had estimated sales of 41,673. Certainly not instant cancellation levels. But the Comichron site also states issue #1 had offered vendors deep discount initiatives. Issue #5 was shipped in December with the final number of 8,151 units. Maybe they figured interest was soft and didn't invest too much in it after that first issue. Issue #2 did 21,731 in a month of some blockbusters like Spawn #300, a Spider-Man launch and Hickman's X-titles

    41k is pretty low for a #1 book

It's not cherry picking when people really do write crazy **** they don't expect to be challenged on.

    yeah, and there are other titles that are continuing despite low numbers. The thing is we never know the digital sales figures, which neither of the big 2 give out. Runaways is still an ongoing and their figures have been below 20,000. Black Panther too, plus there are sometimes frequent relaunches.

    Well Runaways kinda went mainstream with the show so I can understand that. And Black Panther was one of the biggest movies in the world so I can also understand that.

    Superman's done. All Bendis is good for is destabilization of established story foundations and instilling irrationality into formerly reliable characters. Lois is a career obsessed narcissist. Superman has always hated having a secret identity. Wanda is a mentally disturbed goddess with the emotional maturity of a small child. Tony Stark is a fascist. Luke Cage hates blind people.

    Marvel letting Bendis go for DC was a good plan.

    It's a pity some can't seem to just sit back and enjoy the beauty-full Krakoan sunsets while sipping jasmine-infused Krakoan tea and Pure Mimosas. They take everything so personal and so deathly serious.
