So, I'm very new to comics. Few months back got crazy hyped up and now im reading a whole slew of new 52 books, about 15 of em, the few new marvel now titles, and some other stuff like saga etc....
I pretty much scoped out the scene and went on a warpath to get every back issue of the titles i picked up like batman, animal man, swamp thing and all the other goodness that is the new 52.....but here is my question....
Im currently working through Resurrection Man. I tracked down the whole series knowing it was cancelled, but heard good things anyway. Is there any reason this book was cancelled? Lack of sales? I just finished book 6, and im absolutely loving it. Every one ive spoken to really enjoyed it as well.....Am I missing something? OR was it just not selling well?

Mostly just sales from my understanding. That's all from what I heard.

Yeah, it just w asn't selling well. The art was spotty at first, which probably didn't help a tonne. Great series though. And it actually has a very satisfying resolution. Hopefully the character migrates to JLDark.
Looking for artists, know I won't find any. That blows.

It was out-shined by Animal Man, Swamp Thing and all of the other obscure books. It was good though. Originally Posted by RGKID144

You should look into the pre-52 run fron the 90s, far superior stuff and was recently collected into two nice volumes I believe.
