Out With the New, In With the Newer at DC Comics January 12, 2012, 9:06 am A few months into a DC Comics initiative under which the superhero publisher restarted its long-running series at issue No. 1, some of those narratives will go no further: the company announced on Thursday morning that it is cancelling six of its comic books and introducing six new ones, keeping the total amount of its ongoing titles at the magic number of 52. The comics that DC will cancel, effective in April, are "Blackhawks," "O.M.A.C.," "Men of War," and "Hawk and Dove," as well as "Mister Terrific" and "Static Shock," which are among the rare mainstream titles to focus on African-American heroes. Among the series that it will introduce (or reintroduce) in May is "Batman Incorporated," written by the popular comics author Grant Morrison and illustrated by Chris Burnham, in which the alter ego of Bruce Wayne deals with worldwide crises; DC was publishing a similar series before it began its company-wide makeover, called "The New 52," at the end of the summer. Other new titles include "Dial H," written by the science-fiction and fantasy novelist China Miéville, and which DC described in a news release as "a bold new take on a cult classic concept about the psychological effects on an everyman who accidentally gains powers to become a hero." The publisher will also start series called "Earth 2″ and "Worlds" Finest," set in a parallel reality; as well as "G. I. Combat" and "The Ravagers," about a group of teenage heroes. DC has enjoyed success with its "New 52″ program: in December, it published eight of the industry's 10 best-selling comics, though it narrowly lost the battle for over all market share to rival Marvel Comics, according to recent data from the analysis firm ICv2.
