I've never been one for following the sales figures of various titles or individual issues, but maybe I should start.
That might keep me from getting blind-sided by the cancellation of titles like Firestorm.
I've been waiting on it to come out in tpb format for... ever.
I was always very curious about the new Firestorm title but, to be perfectly honest, I never gave it a look because it always seemed as if they were perpetually struggling to determine the book's identity and direction. I guess I waited too long to give it a try.
Or maybe they waited too long to give it that identity and direction. ;)
I felt kinda like you, although I got more excited when I started seeing people from Ronnie's days.
I don't know how comic book publishers should balance monthly issues versus collected volumes, but it's disappointing when a book croaks and not a single tpb or hc was released (to my knowledge, anyway).
There are a growing number of fans, like myself, who are almost completely tp/hc-exclusive.
Anyway, I look forward to the day when I'm excited by The Flash, again. The current stuff actually has me longing for Johns' run (no pun intended) - at least that final volume.
I think we're all longing for the level of storytelling that seen regularly during Geoff Johns' run on The Flash right now. It's up to Marc Guggenheim to deliver. Here's hoping that the day you're excited by the Flash again is not far off!
