Which recently announced cancelled title was your favorite?

[chaos X effect]

Red Lanterns, for sure. Soule, I feel, wrote it perfectly. It was the only Lantern book I enjoyed after the big writer switches until Godhead. I don't know how well it would do without Soule, though...

[FanboyStranger]

Technically, no. I was referring to Moore and Totleben's famous run on Swamp Thing. Before Vertigo, yes, but the series' success helped lay the foundation for Vertigo, so I consider it very much a part of it. I don't believe there would be a Vertigo if not for that classic.

Oh, I agree with that, but I'm happy with Vertigo as a place for creator-owned material rather than DC properties. Other than Matt Wagner's Madame Xanadu, most of the DC affliated books post-2000 have been disappointing, including Swamp Thing and its unofficial spin-off, The Un-Men. Hellblazer remained good, but that seems more the exception than the rule.

Definitely Swamp Thing but it looks like it's ending as Soule leaves the book which is a good thing since I don't wanna see my favourite book drop in quality.

Amen to that, brother. It's kind of funny how it all seems to mesh together in retrospect, though. Memory is a funny thing.

Swamp Thing.

Red Lanterns, Trinity of Sin, Infinity Man, Star Spangled War Stories & New Guardians were all great though.

Swamp thing- was one of the few titles I truly waited to read each month. Sad to see it go.


Bat woman I lost interest quickly after Williams left

New guardians is a little disappointing too with my Kyle fix leaving.

I voted for Swamp Thing, although the only reason I started reading Red Lanterns was Soule's writing on ST, so I'm sad to see both those titles go. Although I would've stuck with ST with a new creative team, I think Soule worked some serious magic to get me to appreciate the cast of RL(with the exception of Guy), and I really never saw myself reading the latter title without him writing it...unless someone like China Mieville came on, and in that case I would stick around for the trippiness.

Why would you assume Soule's replacement would be an inferior replacement?

Anyway, I'm losing Swamp Thing, Klarion, and Aquaman & the Others (I guess Secret Origins, too). Klarion is too young for me to miss. Aquaman & the Others isn't anything special (w/ all due respect to the creative team). But as plenty others have said, Swamp Thing was top-notch. Easily one of DC's best titles since Soule took over.
