New 52 comic series ending in April

It looks like the "Forever Evil" story arc is affecting DC comics in more than ways than one. In the month it came out, DC had its Villain's Month with the release of 52 One-Shot comics where the villains took over their hero's comic series. Essentially a month where the bigger DC heroes did not get an issue out. Now, the crossover event has affected many other DC titles, most notably Justice League. But now it looks like it will also be the reason to clean out some New 52 comic series.

Nightwing, Teen Titans, Suicide Squad, and Justice League of America will end in April around the same time when the "Forever Evil" story should be coming to an end. JLA is a relatively newer series, which will end to make way for Justice League United. The Teen Titans and Suicide Squad are team based series that have had mixed reactions from DC readers. Perhaps there's a bigger plan for the characters involved in both stories. Tim Drake (Red Robin) of the Teen Titans, Wonder Girl and Superboy are characters that will likely be missed if they are put on the sidelines for a while. The biggest surprise is the end of the Nightwing series. With the Crime Syndicate revealing Nightwing's identity as Dick Grayson to the world, it will be really interesting to see what DC will plan to do with Dick. It may be the end of Nightwing, but that doesn't necessarily mean the end of Dick Grayson!

Nightwing

With the 30th issue, the Nightwing series will be coming to an end. And Kyle Higgins won't even be the one to finish off the series he started. Deanpool has repeatedly talked about what the future may hold for Dick Grayson (Batsgiving, Who's the next Robin?), but the fact of the matter is: Dick's life can never be the same as it was before "Forever Evil." Same goes for the rest of the Bat family. Can't say they've all recovered from Joker's return in the "Death of the Family" story arc or even from Damian's death... not sure how they'll stand together if something fatal happens to Dick Grayson too.

Teen Titans- Teen Titans #30 will take place post-Forever Evil as the team returns and sees that the Harvest has gotten stronger in the team's absence. It'll also feature the return of Bunker and Beast Boy. But overall it'll finally be an end to this long, dragged series that's struggling to put out good stories. But the biggest question, as with all these cancellations, is if the end of the series means the end of the team?
Okay so with recent intel from the last issue of The Green Team: Teen Trillionaires, it looks like this group of rich kids will be trying to buy the Teen Titans. Connecting the dots with this and seeing that Teen Titans will be ending with their 30th issue as well doesn't bode well for these Titans. Will it lead to a merger of the two series? Teen Titans become some heroes for hire? Deanpool likes this better than a government agency running the team. The Green Team basically throw money at a problem in hopes of a solution... and it typically works for them. Apparently, some of them recently developed some superpowers but still struggle in making an identity for themselves. So with all the money in the world, they buy one: the Teen Titans. Will Tim Drake really accept the offer? Or will some life-changing events from Forever Evil cause the Teen Titans to unwillingly accept? This question may not get answered until the final issue of Teen Titans, but it will be interesting to see how the reacts to the Green Team's offer. That is, if it gets addressed at all. It doesn't sound too bad to Deanpool. Pair a bunch of teen trillionaires with teen superheroes. New alliances, likely chemistry problems, but a new direction headed by the teen rich kids that look to solve problems. It may give Teen Titans more direction for their stories and give The Green Team an actual audience. Even though the Teen Titans series wasn't the most popular one, it would be sad to see all these teen superheroes on the sidelines due to cancellation.

Suicide Squad- Deanpool didn't follow the Suicide Squad much. He knew they were similar to Marvel's Thunderbolts, a team of reformed of supervillains and/or anti-heroes (depending on how you view them). The squad consisted of: Captain Boomerang, Cheetah, Deadshot, James Gordon Jr., Harley Quinn, King Shark, The Unknown Soldier, and a couple others but those are the main ones to note. The team is headed by government agent Amanda Waller and they take on covert government missions so that America and the DC heroes with a good public image don't get caught doing the dirty work. Sounds like an interesting group that likely showcased a lot of the popular Batman villain, Harley Quinn. Deanpool is a fan of Deadshot. Nevertheless, with villains taking over the world, it does sound hard for Waller to keep her Suicide Squad team since they failed to protect... anyone since the events of Forever Evil. Not even the A.R.G.U.S. headquarters. Regardless, Forever Evil claims another victim as it leads to the end of this series after its 30th issue in April. Harley Quinn is settling into her new monthly series, but what happens to the rest of these members?

Justice League of America- Now this series is actually one Deanpool has been following since the beginning... which hasn't been too long. Amanda Waller replaces Steve Trevor as the government liaison to the Justice League. Her first plan is to create a separate Justice League to combat the current Justice League if they ever did anything against the government. And also serve in the government's interest rather than their own agenda... which was the main issue with the original Justice League. When finally presented the opportunity to confront the Justice League during the "Trinity War," they essentially reached a stalemate... and Superman killed one of the members of the Justice League of America. On top of that, most of their members are currently trapped in the Firestorm matrix that the Crime Syndicate has imprisoned them in along with the other members of the Justice League. After the events of "Forever Evil" it's likely a case looked at as another failed experiment by Waller. Things aren't looking good for Waller in April, Deanpool can't help but wonder if perhaps something more serious may happen to her that will be even more of a reason to break up the Suicide Squad and Justice League of America. Regardless, there's already rumors of Justice League Canada or Justice League United, whatever it's called, to come out after Forever Evil. Will most of these members be carried over to United? Many of them have their own titles: Vibe, Green Arrow, Catwoman, Katana, Savage Hawkman (unless this one ended), Green Lantern (or wherever Simon Baz has ended up in the Lantern universe). It looks like Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, and Stargirl may be carried over by the looks of the Justice League United cover. Supposedly Hawkman will too, along with a reintroduced Adam Strange. From the cover we also see Animal Man and Supergirl. This was a good series in Deanpool's eyes, as it strategically grouped a lot of heroes together that Deanpool was interested in following, but didn't want to commit to buying 5 or 6 other comics each month. But it makes sense that this one will have to come to an end to make way for the new team's series.

Justice League United #0

The other two series that are coming to an end aren't tied in to the "Forever Evil" story arc and thus aren't ending as a direct result of "Forever Evil" consequences. Stormwatch is one that flew under the radar for Deanpool, but Superman Unchained was a bit of a surprise.

Superman Unchained is one that saddens Deanpool a bit. The all-star team of Scott Snyder and Jim Lee looked to be a real solid series that can stand out from the Superman and Action Comics stories. Deanpool has been reluctant in reading any of the Superman titles but was especially excited for this one. It's sad to see the series end before it even reaches double digits, or even an annual issue. Deanpool can't offer any insight about where the series was headed as far as its stories, but he did enjoy the artwork and thought this would be the great Superman series that Deanpool was looking for. It still very well could be that once he catches up, it's just a shame to see it have to end so soon.

Stormwatch- Another series that Deanpool isn't attached to. Originally part of Jim Lee's Wildstorm series from Image comics, it eventually migrated over to DC and became part of the first series that came out with the New 52 relaunch. And surprisingly it has lasted this long up to its 30th issue under the Stormwatch title. No current news to where these characters may end up after the series ends. Other Wildstorm members like Grifter, Voodoo, and Team 7 have all ended their respective series within the past 2 years as well. Curious to see where a lot of these characters end up after April, if they ever reappear at all.
