DC Cancels Four 'New 52' Titles



Well it looks like DC has canceled another four of their New 52 titles. August will be the final issues for Threshold, Demon Knights, Dial H, and Legion of Super-Heroes.

I never really cared for Legion since the beginning and I'm shocked it lasted this long. I personally liked Legion Lost more, and of course it has already been canceled. I was reading Dial H, although never really got into it and not surprised it's going. Threshold on the other hand has me confused since it's a newer title and seemed like a good place to put characters like Blue Beetle, Larfleeze and DC's other space related characters. I have mixed feelings about Demon Knights, I never read it but after seeing a preview on Comic Vine I was tempted to pick it up.

Oh well, I guess we will have to wait and see what comics they replace them with. I hope they bring back maybe a few Wildstorm characters. What I don't want to see is another four Bat books, or more Super books. It's like TV Networks who want ratings like American Idol even if a show has a fan base or great writing they cancel it, not taking other factors into consideration like time slot, they just want advertisers $$. DC seems to use Superman and Batman as their benchmark the same way. I know they already announced a new Superman book. And The Movement and Green Team have been announced. I haven't read either yet but personally I dont' see them lasting any longer than Threshold did.

Bad Comet Games officially announced their followup to their first successful crowdfuding game Wild: Serengeti will be Life of the Amazonia. Bad Comet will also be renaming Wild: Serengeti to Life of the Serengeti due to trademark issues and to keep their nature themed games tied together. Life of the Amazonia is not a sequel  to Wild: Serengeti as the game is completely different in every way except that it carries on the beautiful Animal meeples everyone loved from Wild: Serengeti. As it is a game set in the Amazon Rainforest, Life of the Amazonia will invite you into the lush jungle of the Amazon to join in the mission of building an ecologically rich jungle. Every player will have their very own beautifully crafted jungle in front of their very eyes once the game concludes.
