Justice League August Solicitations

[WhitOro]

How did JLI got cancelled? I thought it was a decent seller.
Plus, Captain Atom still continues despite being the lowest seller of the 52.
They must be planning something.

Maybe combining JL and JLI? Does the JL finally open their doors to other heroes? :P

Kind of surprised to see that JLI is being cancelled, while some really poor sellers are still sticking around. I imagine it will be replaced by a Blue/Gold book maybe? Either that or yet another iteration of the Justice League, just without UN backing.

Looks like there may be a Wave 3 following September's 0 issue thing.

Also, can somebody tell me how long Vixen, Fire and Ice have been sidelined, because I'm really wondering why they were brought in in the first place to sideline them like that.

I'm calling it that its being replaced with an Argus/Justice League elite book. Hopefully though Johns isn't writing it so we don't have a bendis avengers deal.

Am I the only one who thinks JLI isn't getting cancelled and that line in the solicit is just there to progress the story?

[BrotherUnitNo_4]

Hawkman is obviously hitting the juice.

The story may continue elsewhere, but it pretty clearly states Final Issue.

I checked ICV and JLI was the #67 book last month with around 30K units. I guess DC feels like a Justice League book should be doing more than that.

I cannot believe Captain Atom didn't get cancelled. It was among the six lowest selling titles in the original round of cancellations, and I believe it is the lowest selling title among all 52 right now.

JLI getting cancelled wow
no creative switch or anything shows how much DC cared about this title

It makes you wonder if DC is taking a loss on the book or if they're just barely scraping by. Given that they're being so stubborn about keeping ongoings at 52, it doesn't really make sense to me to publish a book that may or may not be turning a profit. The slot should be given to something else that may have a chance of pulling in higher numbers.

I had not even realized it, but you're right. Even with sales around 30K, wouldn't it make sense to give it a major creative/character upheaval instead of outright cancellation?

Actually, that's a decent cover.

I don't think. Probably a major overhaul of the roster, but we will see a JLI #0 or JLI #13.

But if they do that -- major creative and character upheaval -- and launch the book with a new number 1 and a new name, it would probably do way better than if they do the same creative and character upheaval but call the thing "Justice League International #13." Stupid but (probably) true.

Gotta say I personally applaud this move, as I thought JLI was one of DC's most disappointing books and was desperate for a change. DC really seems to be canceling and changing the books that need it.
