I would be surprised if any of the NOW! titles are cancelled in their first year.
I didn't know some of those books were selling like shit, I've really enjoyed parts of Scarlet Spider and Venom :sadface

As in including the ones from last year or ones that start this year?
Spike Spiegel

Including last year. At the very least, I expect ~16 issue runs (or one year, as Marvel ships) for everything, even Morbius.
...
Maybe Morbius.
That's the only way the series could have ended.
Sounds like early Spawn. At least that had creative twists.

Of course not. We aren't talking about DC.

Yeah like Marvel hasn't solicited a series as an ongoing only to say its a mini after a few issues or cancel a series after its solicited. Come on bub. Morbius will not make it to 16 issues, it will be a disgrace to comics if it does.

Hey finally something of Cassandra Cain is releasing.
She should be higher than a pawn though.
I was thinking about buying the chess collection anyway, now I definitely will.

Morbius doesn't count. I'm talking about books that people actually read. DC killed a good bunch of books that people were enjoying.
When does Sénior Mad join this book?

Srsly. Who bases their purchases on how many other people are buying something?

June i believe
Morbius is the only NOW book that I can see getting cancelled before issue 12. However, I wouldn't put it past Marvel to retool it instead of cancelling it (Superior Morbius Team-Up now featuring Superior Spider-Man), so that they can continue to state that they have not cancelled any of the NOW titles.
Maybe they'll fold him into a team book. Morbius and Dr Strange take on the supernatural horrors of the universe!

Srsly, it's not like "Most Popular" is a featured sort option in every collection of information on the internet. Just sayin', it's popular.

Some people don't like to invest in series unlikely to continue selling well.

I would buy that book so hard they'd be like "YO, why'd you suplex that book??" and I'd be like "I didn't SUPLEX it I just BOUGHT it" and they'd be like "Oh ok gotcha"
I don't like anything about anything. Like a true comics fan.

I knew you were a Kirkman fan brah!
A surprising number of people... a lot of people are spurred to check things out because they want to be part of the conversation.
Also, as said, success makes something more likely to continue, thereby making it seem like a worthwhile investment. Of course, in the comics world, success also often means the story will never end.
just main pawn moves then.
You're still reading Dial H right? If so, youre okay in my book.

Yep, though i'm way behind. Still liking it after 6 issues and after i get caught up on Fatale i'm going to read 7-10. Tangent: After really liking Fatale #4 and 5, 6 and 7 were an iffy start to a new story arc.
My comments got a little misinterpreted though, I don't actively avoid low selling titles from Marvel because they aren't selling well, they just didn't interest me enough to buy them monthly and their trade program doesn't punish me for waiting like DC does in case i change my mind/it gets great reviews.
Also, Marvel Zombies Supreme on Marvel Unlimited went into the "flip through" mode by issue 3, not a great addition to the marvel zombies universe. On to Space Punisher 2-4 on MU after not REALLY liking the first issue, but i'm curious and it's a mini.

I have no idea what they are going to with CK in Batman and Robun. D you think Damian was hitting that?
She was probably a tutor or something.

Yes! I would rate the Black Mirror higher then his current Batman run.
Love Black Mirror. Dick was a great Batman and that was a great book.

Black mirror worth it for JOCK and Frackavella goodness alone
I certainly love me some JOCK. Snyder describing him on the podcast was hilarious
link is here btw if anyone wants to give it a listen: http://smodcast.com/episodes/scott-snyder-of-cowls-and-owls/
it's about when Death of the Family was starting so he just mostly talks about Court of Owls and how he got to work on Batman and how he basically shat his pants when he found out he'd be relaunching it with new 52. Pretty good listen.

I think I'm definitely going to be grabbing those Star Wars: Legacy collected edition hardcovers Dark Horse is going to put out. Loved the series, would love to have it all in a few hardcovers as opposed to the dozen or so TPBs.

I haven't been following Batwing, but picked up #19. Seems like Gray + Palmiotti have something to bring to the table.
aren't they smaller than normal HCs though? that would bug me...they are, from the solicit, going to be 6x9 dimensions.
This month?
