    Default JLI gets cancelled

    this was already talk in other threads but i think it does deserve its own thread

    From DC Source

    JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #12

    Written by DAN JURGENS

    Art by AARON LOPRESTI and MATT RYAN

    Cover by DAVID FINCH and RICHARD FRIEND

    On sale AUGUST 1 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T • FINAL ISSUE

    • It’s the funeral for ROCKET RED.

    • Several members resign from the team – who will be left?
    This SUCKS

    Justice League: Generation Lost was so many different kinds of Awesome so when the ongoing was announced who the hell wouldn't be exited
    and then we get this title

    Its probably the biggest disappointment of the new 52

    Yeah, although I was enjoying the title I have to admit that it was nothing excellent and I was really disappointed that Winick was'nt the one who relaunched the series.

    Let's hope that it gets replaced with another JL title and all these characters that I love go to other books.

    So that's two books O.M.A.C. has been in to get cancelled. Hm... (joking joking)



    Well, it has been a massive disappointment, that's for sure. I can see why it did get cancelled, but at the same time I think there are plenty of other things that should have gone before it. Hopefully some characters at least get salvaged and put into other things.

    Saddened news. I liked this book more than MAINLINE JLA.

    And I also enjoyed OMAC.

    I'm just surprised that this is the only title listed as cancelled, especially since it obviously wasn't selling as poorly as so many others (not that I'm going to miss this title).

    A lot of the other titles sound like they could be ending, though, based on the what the solicits actually say.

    We are gathered here today to mourn the most average of the books in DC's New 52 line. Though it was neither excellent nor terrible but just kind of mediocre, we shall miss it. Why? Because, like all average books, it had potential that will never be reached. Also, it's where OMAC went after his series was cancelled.

    I'm thankful to DC for making the necessary adjustments. Dan Jurgens writing was solid on the book, but it wasn't too exciting. I was going to drop JLI eventually because of this and now it seems that even DC saw the writing on the wall.

    Changing to a different creative team carries it's own trepidation as well because you can't guarantee that it will automatically be better (or guarantee greater sales).

    I am just gald to see DC sticking to their guns about quality and as a JLI reader I support their decision to cancel the book.

    Most likely DC doesn't want more than 3 League books. I'm calling it here.

    Justice League International #12 - team disbands
    Justice League #12- Aquaman leaves the team.
    Justice League Annual #1- learn more about omac and find out whatever brother eye was trying to prevent in omac is coming. Book ends with Steve Trevor and Argus talking about being prepared and JLI was a decent test run in creating their own league.

    September
    Justice League Elite #0- explaining why the new tea. Was picked and more about Argus. Written by Dido and art by lopeestti with the cast being

    Aquaman
    Mera
    Element woman
    Green Arrow
    omac

    With the rest of members being introduced in this and other books before Trinity war.

    In September the danomites event starts and is like night of owls in crossover type.

    I can't be sorry it's cancelled, as I wasn't reading it in the first place. I was sorry 9 months ago, when it started, and it was like someone had taken an issue of Generation Lost and decided to to remove the personalities of every character in it.

    Only thing that makes me sad about this is that Booster Gold will be homeless, unless he finds his way into a different title.

    The book was not terrible, just extremely average. Im surprised this was the only one listed as being canned though. Especially since other titles are selling less and some of those are of only slightly higher quality.

    Oh well. I have hopes that Booster will return as the Time Master we all came to love after the 52 series.

    With the annual and whats teased in the solicits, and the fact that it's the only cancelation, it is really quite obvious that this isn't as much a cancellation as a retooling. They're probably going to run with the concept as something new, with a new team, in September/October.

    I wonder who the new creative team will be if DC decides to continue along a new path?

    Maybe Lopresti can get on a better title worthy of his talent.

    Since its sales are decent and it's the only book to be listed as ending, it looks like there's some reorganisation afoot rather than a canning of the concept entirely.

    I notice that Martian Manhunter is leaving Stormwatch; I'd be surprised if he weren't going to some new team as well.

    Fear not folks; hopefully this is the start of something good.

    When i think about it, it all comes down to issue 6, it just proved that DC has NO IDEA what they were doing or going to do with the title so the cancellation wasnt anything surprising

    i think is good that the book was put out of its misery
