The series ends in April.

Source: DC Source Blog

DC has announced that I, Vampire will be cancelled as of issue #19. The series, written by Josh Fialkov, attracted critical acclaim but never found a stable reading base. I, Vampire followed Andrew Bennett's battle against his own dark instincts and love Mary, Queen of Blood, a villainous vampire.

This marks the second series cancelled by DC in April, joining DC Universe Presents.

I know.

It's almost a 3:1 (Marvel/DC) ratio for me.

It used to be almost 1:1

Hell, I might even drop more books from DC.

They have a serious problem when completists like me, bk and Evan start dropping their books.

Well, the first one was the character based fan like me jumping ship to Marvel. Now it's you guys the completists. Welcome to Marvel. :-D

I was buying no Marvel books at all a year and a half ago. Now I'm getting nine, as opposed to eight DCU titles. And I'm on the fence about continuing with Swamp Thing once Scott Snyder leaves, ditto Batman Incorporated post-Morrison.

Heh.

DC should just sell their characters to Marvel. Maybe they can bring them back to life.

I'm kinda 1/2 joking here.

I definitely will be dropping Swamp Thing when Snyder leaves, he was the reason i was reading it. Gonna be dropping a lot of books from DC in April i think. With the creative switches lately at DC i'm just not interested in many of the books that i was reading.

I'm with you. Esp. with Batman Incorporated. It's going to quickly die. They should just end it when Morrison leaves.

DC got me into comic reading. My first comic was Green Lantern 120 by Ron Marz. I used to consider myself a DC guy.

I now read 8 Marvel books, 3 Image books,1 Oni book, and only Batman from DC.

Shit has changed.

You're not joking. They do a better job at some characters than DC would.

Yeah, DC is bleeding readers. Except for Batman, every other book is losing readers.
