Crap.

DC's May solicits reveal that Freedom Fighters, a title I just sang the praises of, is cancelled as of issue #9:

FREEDOM FIGHTERS #9
Written by JIMMY PALMIOTTI and JUSTIN GRAY
Art and cover by TRAVIS MOORE & WALDEN WONG
They’ve saved America countless times, but there’s one national crisis the Freedom Fighters are powerless to combat: a troubled economy. The recession hits home as our heroes find themselves among the ranks of the unemployed and facing an uncertain future.
On sale MAY 4 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US,
FINAL ISSUE • RATED T

Maybe some of the Freedom Fighters can be phased into the JSA (not long they have enough members already). But Palmiotti and Gray were doing fantastic work (as always), and I hope they have another chance to write the characters soon…

Also seeing final issues in May are Doom Patrol, R.E.B.E.L.S., JSA All-Stars, and Outsiders. The only one I read regularly (other than FF) was JSA All-Stars, which seemed superfluous from the start, so I'm not particularly upset about those. But Freedom Fighters I will miss.

(And why is Titans still being published? That deserves a crap all its own…)
