GI Combat will be fun if it's a WWII book.

If it's a modern military book I'll pass.

What will replaces Ravagers after the next wave of canellations? :P

Only thing that really sticks out for me is Earth 2. I'm not sure I'll get it though, I already buy enough titles.

I'll trade wait for Dial H.

I like Power Girl and Maguire but I don't really care for Huntress and Levitz is just ok.

The backups for the war comic sound much better than the main series. :-(

Borrowing Nieto's post...

Dial H by China Miéville (covers at least by Brian Bolland
Earth 2 by James Robinson and Nicola Scott
World's Finest (starring Huntress and Power Girl) by Paul Levitz and art by George Perez and Kevin Maguire on alternate arcs
GI Combat with stories by Palmiotti and Grey, JT Krul and John Arcudi featuring the Haunted Tank, The Unknown Soldier and The War That Time Forgot
Ravagers by Howard Mackie (!) and Ian Churchill
Batman Inc by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham

Yay for Earth 2 and World's Finest. Sort of yay for Batman INC, Ravagers and Dial H.

Dial H comes across as being Vertigo-ish.

You're not interested in China Mieville taking on a concept like Dial H For Hero? Wow. :shock:

Anyway, the front page won't let me log in, otherwise I would write up the full scoop, but here it is:

Dial H by China Miéville (covers at least by Brian Bolland
Earth 2 by James Robinson and Nicola Scott
World's Finest (starring Huntress and Power Girl) by Paul Levitz and art by George Perez and Kevin Maguire on alternate arcs
GI Combat with stories by Palmiotti and Grey, JT Krul and John Arcudi featuring the Haunted Tank, The Unknown Soldier and The War That Time Forgot
Ravagers by Howard Mackie (!) and Ian Churchill
Batman Inc by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham

The titles being cancelled are: Men of War, Blackhawks, OMAC, Static Shock, Mister Terrific and Hawk and Dove.

I'll check out all those books save for Batman Inc. I'm kinda sick of extra bat titles. Snyder's the only bat writer who does it for me. And I like Morrison better on Action anyway.

Doesn't really affect me I guess as I'm buying none of the books being cancelled and I doubt I'll pick any of the new ones up (unless people rave over Mieville's Dial H)

I'll give Earth 2, World's Finest, and Dial H a try.

Bummed that OMAC is getting cancelled.

Agreed. Modern Military comics just don't interest me. But WWII stuff :smt007

Not reading any of the series that are getting cancelled and I doubt I will try any of the 6 new ones.

Well, it's an anthology, so it could be all over the place.
