It does seem DC is lagging a bit these days.. I was out of comics for a bit and when I came back I couldn't really find anything too enjoyable from DC. I was a DC kid too. :(. I miss Robin..[/quote]

If I remember correctly Robin will re-start at a later date.[/quote]

Never did like that book.

[quote][b]jerrytel (1/10/2009)[/b][hr]I bailed on most of my DC titles about 6 months to a year ago - hated the Morrison Batman, lost interest in both Robin and Nightwing - all series that I had long long long runs collected on.

3 years ago, all I really collected was the main DC universe. Now I am down to Detective (only because of Dini), Justice Society (only because they are my favorite characters and I like Johns - looking forward to the Willingham run), And Manhunter (which is getting cancelled again).

I am sure Jonah Hex will be gone soon, which leaves me with 2 titles, and I will bail on Detective as soon as Dini is gone for good.

Now - Vertigo is where I spend most of my money, and any Sgt Rock mini-series that comes out.

But the main DC Universe - Didio and Morrison have taken that away from me - saves me alot of money.

It seems that Tony Bedard is cursed to never get a long running gig. I was really enjoying his run on Exiles over at Marvel before Claremont butchered it and now to cancel BoP when he is writing some really cool stuff...

Where is the justice?

[quote][b]jerrytel (1/13/2009)[/b][hr]ya - I liked the first 2 issues - have not read the 3rd issue yet, sitting on my large stack 'to be read'...now that you mention it, I can't remember much about the story other than I remember enjoying it ;)

I think the previous Rock series was the better of the two so far, but the Hardcover 'Hell and a hard place' - I would recommend to anyone.

Been reading so much lately (Game of Thrones series, WWII book 'Crossing the Rhine', and the auto-biography of Cleveland's favorite tv personality - BIG CHUCK). The comics are falling behind again.

Wish I had more time to read. However, house and family maintenence come first!

So you're getting the Lost Battalion then? I got the first issue of that and thought it was almost unreadable. Are you digging it?

Birds of Prey has gotten poorly written the past year and really dropped off with good stories after Gail stopped writing them before that. In the newest Previews The Robin Title said it will restart and nothing was said about Nightwing. I am sure others know more about this though. I'll see what the new Robin looks like and after a few issues will know if its in a direction I want to read about. I like the character and its worth a look.

I'll take a pass thank you.[/quote]

Agree with you Ring. I have been looking for titles to drop. I have complete sets of Robin and Nightwing. when these end, so do my desire for the title. There will be new number ones for both. I will NOT be buying them.[/quote]

Same here (about the not buying the new series, not about the full sets:hmmmm:).

Earl.

RE: DC cleans out the house!

Ringfinger — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 10:11:41 GMT

I am actually thinking of culling these titles from my collection. Really no need for them as I dod not collect them long term. Frees up some space.

We'll see... I only have a few books in my pull now and Robin and Nightwin were both in it. Nightwing I've been ambivalent about for a while, but I thought Robin has been fantastic since OYL started. I'll ride them out to the end and then re-evaluate with launches.

[quote][b]by1968 (11/5/2008)[/b][hr]I wonder if the Nightwing and Robin cancellations could be tied into RIP over in Batman as opposed to being dropped because of sales.[/quote]

Maybe so. I am sure DC will create 2 more titles to take their place.

I dropped Robin and Nightwing a few years back.

drakesfuture — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 09:56:37 GMT

Nightwing hasn't been the same since Scott McDaniel stopped drawing it years ago.

It is sad when longrunning books get axed though.

Robin is such a flagship character too. I'm sure that title won't be gone for long.

RE: DC cleans out the house!

Earl Davis — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:35:37 GMT

Hey, I dropped Nightwing two weeks ago:hmmmm:

RE: DC cleans out the house!

Remote_kill — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:11:36 GMT

I'm only sad over Robin and Nightwing. Mostly Nightwing...

But oh well, to be honest the books were rather stale. They'd probably benefit from a break and when, and we know they will be, relaunched later.

Sucks though when such long running books end that way.
