To all things an End.

3 months in, and my how the tables have turned.

With DCnU relaunch and the domination of most of their titles across the comic book distrubutors, the mighty House of Ideas is feeling the blows. Here is a list of the titles that will be cancelled and/or will never see the light of day after February 2012.

ComicBookResources has the article discussing the latest on the growing line of titles to fall.





Daken, Dark Wolverine will end.

From the article:
"In a just-published interview with Comic Book Resources, Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso revealed Daken: Dark Wolverine will be coming to an end, following a wave of cancellations that includes X-23 and Ghost Rider.

Although he didn’t indicate when the series will conclude, February’s Issue 21 is billed as “Issue one of the story the series has been leading up to,” suggesting the beginning of the final arc...."

it continues....

"... The Daken: Dark Wolverine news follows word of the conclusions of PunisherMAX and Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive, and the cancellations of Ghost Rider, X-23, Alpha Flight, Victor Von Doom, Destroyers, Iron Man 2.0 and All-Winners Squad."

Daken is joining the ranks of these other titles,

Was X-23 the only Marvel title starring a female character?

People were quick that Ghost Rider also stared a female character (except the usual male lead wasn't off the book, so hmmm), but then it was cancelled as well.

[drmcninja]

So there we go anyways. No books with a solely female lead.

[salinea]

Indeed.

GR canceled so soon? Man...the plot didn't even had the time to go anywhere...this will be collected in a TPB, right?

Marvel hates female leading characters.. (at least these last couple of years, I remember when they had one of X-23 minis around, Rogue's solo title, Mystique and Emma Frost all kicking around the same time)

[salinea]

I've no idea, I haven't really been following on GR.

I don't think they hate them, I think they don't have faith in them.

[eyz]

..Well, they would have faith in them if they liked them.

But it seems they're only here to appeal to horny teenagers, hence publications like this:

I'd get pissed off at the blatant objectification, but I keep getting distracted by the pretty. Argh.
