February 8, 2013 1:52 pm While it makes sense to cancel books that aren't performing rather than keeping them around for the sake of it, the optics of the cancellations are going to start affecting other new books going forward. Commenters above have already started marking books like Vibe and Katana for death before the first issues even hit, and who can blame them? As a prospective reader/buyer, I'm wary of any new DC title that isn't a big name (either character or creator) or isn't getting significant pre-release buzz, because there's such a high chance the title won't make it out of the cradle.
