>In a rare move by a Big Two publisher, DC Comics have cancelled the final five solicited issues of Bryan Hitch's "New 52" Justice League of America run. Justice League of America #9 through #12, plus Justice League of America Annual #1 have all been cancelled, but DC tells retailers they "will be resolicited at a later date."
>This series has gone through several delays, with Justice League of America #9 originally solicited for March 30 but pushed back to, at last update, June 15. Issue #12 and the Annual were previously cancelled and resolicited last month for an August release - so this is he second cancellation for each.
>When Hitch's Justice League of America issues do come out, it's one of DC's top sellers. In June 2015, the first issue was the fourth highest-selling book in the North American direct market, while March 2016's #8 was still a top-tier seller at a #34 rank.
>Justice League of America writer/artist Bryan Hitch is, of course, the writer of the upcoming Rebirth Justice League relaunch, with the Rebirth one-shot and debut issue both solicited/scheduled for release in July.
Whelp
John Miller
How the fuck is he supposed to write the main JL book if he can't even finish this one? What the heck
Parker Rivera
>DC fell for the Hitch meme again
Oopsie.
lmao @ that pic
Adrian Stewart
tbf, his justice league sucked ass
Easton Hernandez
Which is terrible considering he's going to write the main JL
Connor Hughes
Well, maybe the NEXT JL writer will finally be good.
Thomas Davis
Wondy looks TERRIBLE in that pic
Nicholas Adams
It was pleasant enough but to be honest I was mostly reading because of the team line up so I have no incentive to pick up JL
Landon Hughes
She's just triggered is all.
Get it?
Jason White
I love me some male Diana. JLA was a mistake.
Juan Clark
Hitch is not the fastest artist but his work is top notch I wish he had gotten a fill in artist for like every other issue or something no way is JL rebirth not gonna be hit with this
Jaxon Smith
Wasn't he drawing as well as writing?
He's not drawing JL I don't think so it'll just be mediocre and on time instead of mediocre and delayed.
Carter Turner
>this guy is doing mainstream JLA book
LOL O L
Nicholas Ross
And he even started early. Jesus Hitch.

Back in 2012, we ran the rumours, sourced from Rob Liefeld, that Bryan Hitch was working in a Batman/Superman project, possibly with Brad Meltzer. It never happened, and the rumour was dismissed as “outdated” but something was clearly happening.
Since then, Hitch has worked on the late series America’s Got Powers and Real Heroes. Which made some folk snark about possible lateness on the soon-to-be-released Justice League Of America.
But it could be that this new book is the reason those titles were as late as they were.
At the DC Comics retailer meeting at Burbank yesterday, retailers were told that Bryan Hitch has been working on the Justice League Of America title for two whole years.
Which might give them some confidence that the book will be ready to order come June…
Juan Garcia
he wasn't drawing these cancelled issues.
Evan Lopez
Hitch is shit now. He stopped caring after The Authority.
Henry Peterson
>using artists as writers
When will DC ever learn
Luis Carter
Seeing as he's going to be writing Justice League (with fucking Daniels on art), not soon.
More midway through Ultimates.
Eli Clark
What happened to Hitch, he used to be a good artist back then
Luke Brown
Wtf ? They cancel it right before the ending of the rao fight. They could not even wait for the end of this arc ?
Joseph Sullivan
If you read beyond issue #2, the problem is with you.
Aaron Jackson
The whole Rao story just felt like a movie pitch I get that they promised a cinematic story but jesus try some fucking subtlety, Hitch.
I'm honestly so disappointed he's writing the JL for Rebirth.
Nathaniel Adams
thats awful
Mason Perry
Didn't someone find out he traced a bunch of stuff at some point? I may be remembering about somebody else.
Christopher Garcia
>(with fucking Daniels on art) jesus christ I did not know this. Fucking why, DC? I mean he's gotten a bit better since RIP, but he's just so vanilla.
