Reply Subj: Agreed. This title was a shining light, quality-wise, and yet it died. There is no justice.

It's sad to see something really good getting cancelled when there is total trash still being published month after month. Whatever

Yeah. Like you say, a crossover with Wolverine or any other X-character would have probably bumped sales and given the book a wider audience, but alas, 'twas not to be $\:\($

Okay, I should probably nuance that title a bit... crossovers DO bump sales... but ONLY for the duration of the crossover. Same as variant covers - as soon as they stop, sales go back to the original trend.
