Marvel cancels SUPERIOR FOES OF SPIDER-MAN, NEW WARRIORS

News broke with last week's solicits that both SUPERIOR FOES OF SPIDER-MAN and NEW WARRIORS will end in November at issue 17 and issue 12, respectively. This is really sad news for both books, quite frankly, as both represent great examples of comics not really otherwise available at Marvel. NEW WARRIORS has more of a standard format to it but still has a really unique viewpoint and fantastic dialogue with great characters. Very sad to see it go as Marvel ends another spectacular Chris Yost book, though ultimately sales of the book was always going to dictate what happened with the book and even the initial lineup left me skeptical for it. SUPERIOR FOES has really come into its own as Marvel's sort of premiere humor-based book and it's actually way funnier than that statement would lead you to believe (I'm very tired and there's still a Simpsons marathon in the early seasons, you guys). I was hoping this one would hang on based on how unique it was and how I'm sure it's landed with fans who have tried it. Very sad to see both unique books go. Also, sorry for the late news, I had heard about SUPERIOR FOES earlier but was never close enough to a computer when I was thinking about it to report/research it. Found out about NEW WARRIORS tonight so figured I'd mention it.
