COMICS: DC Cancels LEGION OF SUPERHEROES, THRESHOLD And More This August

"The New 52" hasn't actually had 52 titles on sale each month for a while now and that number is set to fall even lower this August. Legion of Superheroes, Demon Knights, Dial H and Threshold are all being cancelled by DC due to low sales. While the first two launched all the way back in September 2011, the others were replacement books for other cancelled series'. This isn't something which happens exclusively at DC (look at Marvel's recent cancellation of fan favourite books like Dark Avengers and Winter Soldier) and the publisher is expected to announce plans for new titles soon. Below, you can find the covers and solicitation details for each of the final issues.

In this final issue, the Legion picks itself up after the brutal attack from the Fatal Five nearly destroyed civilization across the cosmos! While some Legionaires bury their dead, others fight for the future of the Legion against a society that now doesn’t trust them. Don’t miss surprises galore in this landmark issue drawn by Kevin Maguire as the true nature of the Legion is questioned—and the future of the DCU is changed in a way you’ll never expect!

Dial H was good early on but it lost my interest. Demon Knights had great characters but the story didn't seem to do much for me.

Threshold isn't getting cancelled it was a mini-series.
Demon Knights however, needs to be brought back!!!
It's like Dan DiDio just shot himself in the foot by cancelling that AWESOME series! :(

I love Demon Knights. Sad news indeed!! I hope Etrigan has a regular place somewhere, like with JL Dark.

They REALLY need to give us a Capt Marvel/SHAZAM monthly book. The mini in the back of Justice League is better than the rest of the book imo.

Good. If DC is only going to have 52 books they should all be good.

Wow, canceling Legion is a real slap in the face to Fans. Not that I read it. There is very little DC I read anymore as they really screwed themselves. The rest is not really surprising. Bring on the next few failures and let's see them fizzle out with in the next year.

Well I think is aware that any title they cancel will be a face slap to fans. The is that the series doesn't have enough fans.

Though honestly they just need to have like 20 GN's versus 20 ongoings.

Titles that [I think] should get dropped:
•Smallville
•Catwoman
•RH&tO (make it just RedHood, eliminate the silly AllCaste backstory, and we are squared)
•Lil Gotham (make it a graphic novel or an annual, be done with it... Don't need baby batman)

I am sad to hear of this news indeed,
for DiDios' blatant greed
has woe'd me in this time of need.

The Demon Etrigan shows no fear, for he knows his return we'll be true in time.
And when the day of reckoning arrives, executives will tremble and plead guilty their crime.

And so my turn comes, for me to depart.
You'll see me frying heads,
in Justice League Dark.
