Some time ago, it was announced that the Stormwatch: Team Achilles (which was one of my favorites) was going to be cancelled at #24. The same fate was sealed for their other popular title Wildcats. So...I patiently waited for the issue to come out (the announcement came as the series was at #20). I waited, and waited, and waited...and nothing came.

So anyhoo, last night I got a call from a friend of mine who runs a comic store, and he told me that they cancelled coming out with #24. There were no plans for them to EVER come out with it.

How can comic book companies do this??

They tell people that one of their titles is ending, and then abruptly end it before the announced issue number. I think that it is poor business practices...especially considering that the title was left at a 'to be continued' point at #23.

Ok, well, I'll get off of my soapbox now. [/vent]
