Joining Batwing, Birds Of Prey and All Star Western on the scrapheap in August are Phantom Stranger, Pandora and Superboy… though most like Birds Of Prey, Phantom Stranger, Superboy, Pandora and Batwing have another 3D cover Futures End issue listed for September. Could they be due a relaunch? Or were they planned before the books were cancelled?

Also, while the DC Comics site doesn't list it as cancelled, Newsarama lists World's Finest as having its final issue too. Could this be why Paul Levitz is reported to have walked off the Earth 2 World's End weekly? Is there a fix going on? Did Newsrama get an early version of the file?

World's Final Issue… or not?

UPDATE: Not. CBR reports

One book that is not slated to end that month is "World's Finest": Issue #26 of that series was listed as a "final issue" in the solicitation text sent to press and has appeared as such in other outlets, but DC Comics confirmed to CBR News that designation was in error, and the title is not ending. DC declined further comment on the six books ending in August.
