It Feels Like A DC Cancels Some Books Day

It just does. And it looks like I was right: I now know that their recent take on The Spirit is gone, and probably several more. CBR, Rich Johnston and Heidi MacDonald will likely jump on this ten seconds after they can find out more. Canceled titles means people out of work; canceled titles from a non-core initiative means that DC circles the wagons that much tighter around their main characters. It's also another sign that the big companies have a much harder time than they used to pushing comics through so that they at least meet certain sales minimums.

Update: Watch this Nick Gurewitch live-action short film a couple of times. Someone's bound to have better news by the time you're done.

Update 2: It seems I can't find a link I can totally endorse without causing a splitting headache, but it's now my understanding after talking to a couple of the principals that DC has apparently canceled all of its "First Wave" titles, as part of a new, more ruthless strategy in terms of pulling the plug on under-performers. To be honest, I knew they were doing a Spirit comic because I like that artist Moritat, but I had no idea that this First Wave group existed as a group until like 43 minutes ago. Or I had forgotten. Just saying.
