Some months ago, with SUPERGIRL sales sagging and Leonard Kirk leaving the title, I came up with what was essentially a “Hail Mary” pass. I talked the DC Powers That Be into letting me do a storyline involving the return of Kara.
My reasoning was simple: Who wasn’t reading the book? (1) People who had become bored with the current storyline. (2) People who had dismissed the series from the get-go because any Supergirl who wasn’t Kara Zor-El was of no interest to them. By doing “Many Happy Returns,” I figured I could snag both groups. A fresh storyline to pull back lost readers, and the Kara angle to haul in first-timers. It was a “Hail Kara” pass to attend to what I felt were alarmingly sagging numbers.
As near as I could tell subsequently, it was a success in both regards. There was a lot of preliminary buzz, and many people were saying that they’d never read the title but were going to give it a look.
And then the solicits came in for #75, and I knew without question we were pretty much dead. Sales were up an anemic 2000 copies. Fan interest had not translated to retailer interest. Why should they? Knock the Marvel no-reorder policy as much as you want, but by this point, the retailers are trained. A Marvel title sells out, they’re screwed. A DC title sells out, they figure more copies are in the offing. The only deficiency in the reasoning comes when the initial low orders becomes a book’s death warrant.
Which is what happened here.
I’ve known for some months that “Supergirl” is going away. Frankly, I kept hoping for a last minute reprieve. Then the numbers came in on #76, showing an impressive lack of any confidence whatsoever as numbers went almost right back to pre-#75 levels, and that was that. Supposedly numbers are now climbing back up. Too little, too late.
Well, at least this incarnation of “Supergirl” was around longer than every other comic bearing that title combined. We did a lot of good work and I worked with some great people: Gary Frank, Leonard Kirk, Robin Riggs, Ed Benes, and long-suffering editor Mike McAvennie. And, of course, current editor Lysa Hawkins, who will be my editor on the new original series, “The Fallen Angel” (more about which later.)
And issue #80 goes out with a bang. Seems I’ve had a lot of experience writing last issues lately.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I was in group 1, a bored Supergirl reader. However, issues 75 & 76 were wonderful and I made my friends read it–they actually thought about picking the title back up again! Alas, poor Linda, I hardly knew her and will never gaze lovingly on her bosom again.
See, write a great comic like The Hulk The End and they want you to do it over and over. So.. how is the writing of the last issue of Captain Marvel coming along?
Sorry, just joking. Still, it seems like you have a cloud around you lately. Which is ironic since it seems that your strength as a writer has greatly improved inspite of these events or pehaps because of them. I don’t like the direction you have taken Captain Marvel (so sue me I loved the wacky humor of old), your dialog is stunning. I hope more lasting opportunities come your way.
Hey Peter
I jumped onto Supergirl late — about a year ago but since then it’s easily become my favorite mainstream book each month, heck, probably my favorite book period.
Keep in mind: I don’t have any interest in the generic character of ‘Supergirl’ and I have even less interest in the Superman mythos. I picked it up because I was curious about it and, in the midst of the U-Decide thing, thought I’d give it a read to support you across the board a little bit more.
I read and looked forward to your Supergirl simply because I love the work you’re doing. No other reason. Not nostalgia or character loyalty or anything else … just because of the Peter David stories inside each month.
I know I’ll miss it. Heck, I’ll even miss the character. Good thing I’ve got the entire run coming to me in the mail as we speak.
At least it’s something to look forward to.
Thanks again, Peter. Look forward to what’s next.

Son of a bìŧçh! Young justice gets cancelled. Firefly (the TV show) gets cancelled. Now Supergirl gets cancelled. Ðámņ! I’m going to have to stop liking things so they’ll stop going away. So, they’ll cancel a quality book like Supergirl but they’ll put out a piece of crap like Forever Maelstrom? I just don’t get it.
So, Peter, other than Captain Marvel and Soulsearchers, are there any other comics you’re going to be doing?
Fazhoul
All I can say is that DC, Marvel, or Whoever needs you on whatever titles you can handle at a time. The industry needs solid, imaginative writers right now more than “hot” manga influenced artists.
As to the books that you have written over the last few years, I will say this; having solid writers like you on “marginal” books is what keeps them vital, alive and fun to read.
Not every book begins with X, J, Bat or Spider.
If I could only convince the fanboys.
This sucks, but I’ve long learned the true lesson behind this tale: characters will come and go, but as long as the writing continues to be good – all will be well with the comic book world. So, let us know soon about your new projects, PAD – I’ll be sure to get them as usual…
I wasn’t either one of those groups. I was someone who just didn’t get the point to a Supergirl title. Didn’t see any value in the character.
Whenever there was a major crossover, however, I always made sure I picked up Supergirl to check it out… I loved Hulk, Young Justice and Captain Marvel… why wouldn’t I love Supergirl?
Yet everytime I picked up Supergirl I was completely lost. I could not for the life of me figure out who was who and what their role in the book was. Buzz? Something about angels? Nothing hooked me. Sorry.
However, I gave it a shot with #75 and have very much enjoyed the last few issues with a seemingly more streamlined continuity. I’m actually disappointed to see it go.
Regardless, I look forward to whatever else you have on the way in the near future.
PAD,
I am very sorry. I have been a long time reader of the series. Way back to issue 1. I enjoyed the angel aspect of the book and was really excited about the return of Kara. I feel bad, but know that your true fans are here and we will read whatever we can from you.
I have to say, I’m really disappointed. I’ve been looking forward to Supergirl coming out for a while now. I came into it with # 51 (I think, the issue with the “new” look). I liked it, bought the trade, and then every back issue. In fact, the irony, I missed #76 because it sold out before I could get to a shop. I just assumed this was a good sign, but Felix Unger told us what happens when we assume. Anyway, I look forward to reading until the end, and still look forward to your other work (can’t wait for the new “New Frontier”). Best of luck with your new daughter, and you never know, I’ll still keep my eyes out for # 81.
Ðámņ. Not again.
I actually was never a fan of Kara Zor-El. I started reading Supergirl because I liked Matrix. The whole Earth-angel thing took me a little while to latch on to, but I got hooked and really enjoyed it. So now to me Supergirl was Linda Danvers. So I actually was rather nervous about the return of Kara pushing out Linda. But I’ve really really been enjoying the Kara storyline.
I’m really sorry to see Supergirl go. I’m losing yet another great PAD title, and I’m losing the last Superman family title that I still read.
I’ll be back for “Fallen Angel.”
Ðámņ.
First YJ and now this. I wish I could say I was suprised, but after seeing where it sat on the charts…
Still, Supergirl had a pretty good run. Like YJ, I’ll miss this book a lot.
Peter, you spun some good yarns and touched on topics that you just don’t see in other comics out there. You even >gasp< gave us something to think about while entertaining us :-). Thank you.
David
Really sad news. But not totally sad though, because I’ve got 80 issues of Supergirl that I’ll read more over the next 50 years probably 100 times more than 90% of the other books that I’ll probably sell off at some point. Great comics remain great comics despite cancellation. It doesn’t take an continuing run or a planned end to be legendary and cherished.
I think you’re really right when you say alot of it comes down to marketing and the relationship with retailers. Supergirl, I think, got lost in a slew of mostly mediocre S-books, and never got the support it needed.
I’ll look forward to reading whatever your churn out next. Captain Marvel has been astounding thus far. Here’s hoping it survives Jemas’s wounded pride.
So this is what you get for sticking with a title from day one.
I am tired of posting another mourning for another title that is going to be cancelled. I hate the current comic industry where creators has to go on mainstream media to hock a title with “different preferences” just to get a few more hundred issues ordered. I hate that many editors now try to cater to these “up and comers” and totally ignore the veterans of the industry and they keep catering to them even if they have a month-or-year late issue!
I wouldn’t be surprised after Supergirl’s cancellation, DC will put out another re-launch with all the bells and whistles just like they did with other titles Peter David wrote for DC.
I’m serious, if I am deprived of all my monthly titles from my favorite writer, there will be serious sacrifices in my comic purchasing habits. Sure it might not “support the industry,” but it deserves what it gets.
Are the execs getting crazy?
Getting rid of good stuff. As someone has already said, first YJ, then Firefly and now Supergirl? OH c’mon… I think I know why lately I’ve lost faith to followign comics at all.
Well, at least we’ve got 80 great issues, instead of they just trying the best to sink it so no one would read it anymore….
Finishing when we’re still on top….
What are they doing next?
Johny
Peter thanks for everything. I’m a long-long time Kara fan going back to the Silver Age…you gave this book your best shot and I for one am grateful.
Peace and good luck on all your future ventures.
JF
Hey Peter
This is truly sad news, but you know what? 80 issues is nothing to sneeze at. Thats a number that not many can get to many more. Your dedication to Linda really showed.
CONGRATULATIONS ON A GREAT RUN!!
Thai.
Ðámņ it! I, too, have been collecting Supergirl since issue #1. It is the only non-Vertigo DC title that I still collect. I have steadily drifted away from all of the mainstream “superhero” comics that originally ignited my comic book addiction, Supergirl being the lone exception. Supergirl always had an offbeat feel to it, and managed to avoid the cliched, cookie-cutter type plots that you usually see in a superhero type book. And as PAD noted not too long ago, there is a dearth of female-led titles. At least of the realistically proportioned, non-chainmail bikini-clad type 🙂
So another one bites the dust, but perhaps this is a blessing in disguise? Maybe you should give Crossgen a shot, and try an original, creator owned title? Whatever you do next, us loyal fans will definitely check it out.
Peter, I am really sorry Supergirl has been cancelled. It has become one of my favorite titles and I’ve loved the Kara storyline and Kara herself (I jumped on at #75 and started to immerse myself in back issues). I can understand the “Hail Kara” pass but I can’t understand the cancellation frankly. All of my local retailers have just woken up to the fact that SG exists now because it’s flying off the shelves. Yet why should they order #79 or #80 if it’s going to be cancelled.
Also I’ve known all along that Linda is now Supergirl, I’ve hoped against hope that Kara (and if the solicitations aren’t misleading it IS the Silver Age Kara) would not disappear after the end of this arc or even worse die again just to pass the torch to Linda, who already has won the “S” shield in #74. That would be needlessly cruel to the fans, new and old. I hope the book ends on a happy note for both Linda and Kara and that you get an offer from DC to write another title in addition to the one you’ve got planned. Perhaps a new Superman Family title or new team title with Linda in it? I can’t honestly see anyone writing her but you. It wouldn’t be the same.
When I heard about the initial revival of supergirl I was in category 2. on your list. Then I tried one of the early issues and I’ve been hooked since.
I’m very sad to see the book go because I feel that it was finally getting accepted within the DC universe.
I’m crossing my fingers for your version of Captain Marvel because I need my PAD fix each month …
Best,
k9
Well, from one of the “new 2000” that picked up the book starting with #75, I’m really depressed to hear this. I can’t help but eel they didn’t give the “new direction” enough of a chance.
Really, really sorry to hear this, Peter, but I will be around through the end, and look forward to your next project.
Best,
Julio
Crap.
I had begun picking up Supergirl with the excellent school for the deaf issue. (I’d been reading a friend’s copies for a while, but this issue really made me want to support the book with my dollars). I really enjoy it, and I’m sorry it’s going away. It was the only Superman family book I bought. I wish DC had given the Kara storyline a bigger push.
Rob
Ðámņ. This isn’t a good end-of-year for my DC order list. YJ and Supergirl were the only DC mainstream titles left I ordered, with the surprisingly good Loeb/Lee added recently, but that duo probably won’t last too long. In an absurd way I can see that a book with a stable creative team and no currently-hot-writer/artist attached will be dead sooner or later, while books with more ruckus have a higher chance of getting comic-biz-media-exposure. With YJ, Supergirl and quite probably Captain Marvel gone by sometime in 2003, my reading list is much poorer — these were the three books I read first each given month.
Ðámņ indeed.
Man, first Young Justice and then Supergirl. You just can’t get a break can you, Mr. David?
I think it’s just interesting to note that I thought both of these books were good yet they sat rather low on the charts and got cancelled. Yet there is higher stuff on the charts that I pretty much can’t stand. This shows that quality, taste and popularity have almost nothing to do with each other.
Well, heck. I’ve been with PAD’s Supergirl since #1 (drawn to it both by him and Gary Frank). While the “Linda’s Wanderjahr” story line was not my fave (I, for one, liked all the soap opera in Linda’s home town), I always enjoyed the writing from issue to issue.
The only consolation, Peter (other than having a long, strong run to go back and reread) is that I can look forward to more work by you on another title, in a book, or somewhere. Thanks for 80 fine issues.
This reminds me of the old CBG column in which Peter announced he was leaving X-Factor by deliberately burying the headline with a brief dissertation on why people bury headlines. Recognizing Peter using the same format here left me crestfallen as the posting finally broke the news.
This is just heartbreaking and frustrating to me.
I can vividly remember sitting at one of Dragon Con’s patented “Hour[s] with Peter David” when he announced that he would be writing the new Supergirl title. I think the entire room was a bit skeptical. I know I was. However, Peter’s salesmanship sold me on the concept. I’ve been with Linda since #1 and she’s had quite an impact on my life. Most importantly, Supergirl was the title that brought my then-girlfriend/now-wife fully into my hobby and turned her into quite a fangirl.
It strikes me that with this cancellation, Peter’s run on Supergirl has effectively become an epic tale centering around the hero’s journey of Linda Danvers from self-destructive teenager to self-assured superhero. I don’t know if DC will continue to use this incarnation of the character in the future, but, as others have said, we’ll always have this 80-issue (plus Annuals) epic to enjoy.
Thank you, Peter, for your work on this title and on Young Justice. Creatively, you have gone out on top with both titles. Just let us know what you are working on next, so we can keep buying your stories.
I think I’m cursed. Most of the series I discussed on my website have been cancelled, or put on hiatus. Supergirl is the last one in a long list of casualties (see the site for more). So, the sollicitation for the title (which was up today at the Comics Continuum) was true? And it stops in the same month than Young Justice? Kaoc’h! (breton profanity, but you can guess the meaning). Still, there were both great reads, and in the climate of today, 55 and 80 issues are nothing to be ashamed of. You did well, and I’m sure you’ll continue to do well in the future. I’m sure The Fallen Angel will be great.
I was really enjoying Supergirl. I want to echo Adam Hoffman’s comments, “I think it’s just interesting to note that I thought both of these books were good yet they sat rather low on the charts and got cancelled. Yet there is higher stuff on the charts that I pretty much can’t stand. “
It’s a blow to the DCU when they lose YJ and SG. You breathed life into multiple marginal characters, but without continued breath they fade from the minds of readers. DCU is its characters and they’re throwing them away for the want of a few pennies. Mindbogglingly short sighted.
Mr. David,
This is very sad news. I had known that the sales of Supergirl had fallen, but had hoped that the book would pull through. It’s especially sad as Supergirl is, more than any other book, why I started reading comic books again. I picked up #1 and have been hooked ever since. For years I have rated Supergirl as the best book in comics and proudly proclaimed it such if anyone asked. I don’t know how I will get by without my monthly trip to see Linda and her quirky friends and wacky town.
I’ll light a candle for Linda and look forward to your next project.
David Hunt aka Invisigoth
Man!
I hate to hear this! I’ve been a faithful buyer / reader / supporter of Supergirl since it started and have really enjoyed the book (especailly your work with Leonard Kirk – his artwork on Supergirl was AWESOME!!!!).
I’ll definitely check out your next book. Hate to see so many of your books getting the ax latly. It’s a real shame. I really enjoy your writing. 🙁
Take care!
Darrell
Frell Me!
What is this a conspiracy for me to not be able to read any new material by PAD?
I’ve talked about Supergirl, I’ve bought Supergirl.
Being out of comics when the series began I dutifully picked up everything I had missed.
This sucks so hard it’s not funny.
I’ve done my part as far as I could, where was all the “lovers of comics?” Ignoring a superior title is simply a crime, or at least should be.
I wanted to pare down my pull list but certainly not this way. I’ve lost two of my favorite titles now and both were from PAD!
Merry Freaking Christmas, indeed…
I am stunned by the news of Supergirls cancelation. Sales of issue #75 were more than double the previous issue. Issue #76, even with an order increase, sold out in the second week – with DC being out of stock.
I just finished increasing my orders for issue #77 and #78 based on sales and customer feedback.
I now have more readers for Supergirl than I do for Superman.
Someone needs to take another look at those numbers before they make the mistake of ending this series.
Lessee…#80 comes out in March.
Dammit. Given how Peter’s Supergirl has been forward tracking Buffy, this means Buffy’s sure to have its final episode in May. 🙂
Seriously, condolences, and let’s hope that in addition to Fallen Angel you get a primo character assignment next time (hmm. I’ve lost track; does Wildstorm, a fully owned subsidiary of DC, still have the Trek license? If so, how about another run at Trek comics, this time sans Arnold.)
Count me as one of the loyal readers that has been there from Issue # 1. Not a good week as others has said, Firefly and now Supergirl. Well I look forward to Fallen Angel just because I’m going to read anything PAD writes.
It’s hard but we all need to ….
Keep Hope Alive!
I guess I don’t quite fit into any of the ‘Supergirl readers’ groupings. I’ve like the character ever since 1959 – I liked Kara Zor-El, but also liked what Peter has been doing with the latest version. So, adding Kara back in was just fine by me!
Very sorry to hear the book is being cancelled, Peter. Oh well – that’s more money in my pocket! Unlike the ‘common sense’ of the publishers, many of us do not put the money into other comics – we just keep it to spend on something else (non-comic).
Dear PAD,
Sadly I was one of the few people who came on board late. Jeez, I feel real guilty about not having tried the book out earlier. First Superboy, then Young Justice, and now, Supergirl. Those were the only books I collected regularly from dc. Now what I am I supposed to read? If only there was still a chance for a last minute save?
Hey PAD-
I was one of the ones who hopped on with 75- and then couldnt find 76. Bummer To hear it was going away. I thought the idea was great (even if it sounded simular theme wise to what Mark Waid did with Flash when he first took over, Im sure you would have done a different story- but the idea of using the memorie of the orginal to somehow valadate the current incarnation.) Sorry to hear it go. I guess it give you more time for New Frontier books….
%$@&%ing cliffhangers….
I’m horrified! In spite of the fact that my site is dedicated to Black Canary and the Birds of Prey, it was the modern Supergirl who made me interested in comics five years ago (almost to the month, here). I bought issue #17 off a stand at a grocery store (yep, I did) and never looked back. I am so sad! Supergirl was and is always the one comic I’d never drop. I hope Linda doesn’t disappear just because her comic is… Thanks Mr. David for breathing such life into the character. Supergirl #1 still makes me teary-eyed everytime I reread it.
That’s really craptacular. I’ve been on since issue #1, too, and I’ve really enjoyed the ride. Thanks, PAD.
Looking forward to future projects (and Captain Marvel, long as it’s around),
Adam
Like Jennifer, I got into comics through Supergirl, four years ago. Apparely it’s rare for a 21-year-old female to get into comics, but Supergirl did it for me. From there, I got into YJ and a number of other titles. In the past three years, I regularly collect 10-15 titles a month. But not anymore.
For me, this is the last straw. I’ve been wanting to trim my pull list, and now that my two favourite titles (YJ and Supergirl) have been cancelled, I think I may pull out of comics altogether. I honestly go to the comic shop for PAD titles, and while I’m there I pick up and enjoy other titles, but none I find as consistently enjoyable. So why go to the comics book shop at all? (Yes, okay, Captain Marvel. But maybe just that.)
I’m really getting numb from all this. I was upset over YJ, I was REALLY upset over Firefly (which Joss is now trying to shop around to other networks – find out how you can support the show at http://www.fireflysupport.com/), and now with this I’m starting to feel quite cynical that everything (fandom) I love will turn to dust…
Yolande
I too have been a reader of Supergirl since issue #1. It started for me as a comic to try out as it was part of the “super” mythos and I was a fan on Superman. But within the first five issues, I was genuinely looking forward to Supergirl and found it to be among my favorite of all comics — not just the “super” ones. I’m very sorry to see it go and hope that if DC decides to do something with the title again, you’ll get the nod to write it.
Sorry about this one, Peter. It was really a good book, one I’ve read since the beginning and one my son has been reading since #50. Comics that have a long run by a writer who is talented and interested in the characters are rare these days. I’m going to miss Supergirl and Young Justice, and I don’t plan to buy the titles that DC is replacing them with.
–your pal, Hoy
Well, shoot.
As a long-time reader who jumped for joy when he heard Peter David was writing SUPERGIRL, who bought the SHOWCASE preview, and who bought every issue since the beginning…
… I feel like I should at least say, “Thank you.”
I appreciate that you tried something different with this title. While I sometimes felt the long-term story arcs were just a little too long and sometimes wished the individual stories could stand-alone just a little bit better, I always looked forward to each month’s issue.
Now, I won’t be able to do that. And that’s a shame.
Hey remember those dynamite appearances by the likes of Grodd, Chemo, the Female Furies, Luthor, Mary Marvel, and many more? I do.
My favorite bit in the entire series? The “Abbot & Costello Meet Frankenstein” sequence at the beginning of the Extremists story.
I wish things had worked out better for SUPERGIRL and YOUNG JUSTICE (and for the record, I think you’d be great writing TITANS).
I wish you well in your future endeavors. ‘Cause I’ll probably end up reading those too…
Well, thank you for the six, almost seven years of reading pleasure you’ve given me on this title. Was there even one fill-in issue written by someone else? Not that I can recall…
I’ve been following your work since JUSTICE at Marvel, and I’ll be following what’s over the horizon with equal glee.
This is the worst news in a long time. PAD, you’ve done an absolutely fantastic job with this book and these wonderful characters. Thank you for all those wonderful and dramatic moments. Your Supergirl (I’ll always think of your writing of Linda as definitive) will be sorely missed. No one else could ever write her as well as you. No One.
Catch-22, isn’t it?
As offered a while back, the orders (including reorders) for #78 and #79 were the ones to look at to get a more reliable idea of sales scale (retailers had not yet received #75, or else had it on sale for but a shirt while, by the time orders for #77 were due).
Frankly, DC may have missed the boat by not having a ‘quickie’ collection of 75 & 76.
Now, though, the news will depress orders on the final issues.
Can’t speak for other locations, but it takes several months for word of the return of a character like this to make the rounds to those people who shop for comics only once in a while – and then those folks come in looking for the issues (which, by the way, are still in stock at this store!).
And (personal opinion) the ‘clunky’ covers of 75 & 76 didn’t help matters.
Custmers are not the only ones overwhelmed by the number of titles. Having about 4000 items in Previews in any given month is mind-numbing for retailers, too. It is too easy to pigeonhole a title and it can take several months or order cycles to firmly grasp that sales have shown a solid change and order accordingly.
Howsoever, very few titles make it to #80. And for a ‘second-tier’ character like this, that’s a fine record.
Hardly likely to be approved, but a revival of the ‘Adventure’ monicker, with shorter 8-pagers (1 each of Supergirl and Superboy) plus a rotating Supes or Lois or Jimmy or Metropolis story, might (I stress might) fly a little better.
I’m sorry to hear the cancellation confirmed, Peter. I’m proud to have been a part of this series.
I don’t get it. All printed copies of 75 and 76 were sold. Thus demand is there because of Kara. And now is when the retailors would have seen the demand and ordered more. It’s like DC wanted to cancel the series the entire time.
Peter,
I didn’t want to by Young Justice because of the concept but I will have every issue when it finishes. I was a fan of Supergirl that left and came back (sorry I don’t read Marvel, just because of cost issues so not support on the Captain Marvel front).
BUT and there is a big but the only reason I read both books is because of the storytelling. They are funny but not all the time, they are dramatic but most of the time not too cheesy. These have characters that are part of my era in comics i have been reading since the death of superman. I have the first superboy appearence, impulse in the flash, robin was round before my time, wondergirl, secret, Linda as supergirl.
Now I have also most JLA appearences since that same period but I am really pìššëd øff that your book is going while Joe Kelly’s JLA goes on. Well I will be there for Linda as she does what she does until the end of your run on her but from now on I will not support confusing, and uninteresting stories.
I know that your Young Justice crew is in good hands though unfortunatly not yours, but after selling out two months in a row there should be no last minute turn around in policy there should be insperation offered to you in the form of thanks from your parent company.
I am not a fan who posts, this is my first time. But I refuse to buy crap comics anymore you have never failed me on this front, hëll the sotries you tell in Supergirl are better than the current Superman titles. Where was your advertising, you seem to be experiancing the same problem in DC as Marvel.
I want people to cause enough of a noise to change their minds again. You say too little too late but none of your character would give up so easily. Tell us where to write and those who are as annoyed as me actually write, maybe we miss a few issues we will just say there were shipping delays.
Don’t save supergirl… save Peter Davids Supergirl come on all of you what’s that point in reading about heroes if we don’t try to be them once in awhile?
I just wanted to add that the strategy had worked with me. #75 was the first regular issue of the series I’ve bought (I also have the first trade.) I was curious as to where the story would go…hypertime or what.
Also for what it’s worth, I’m buying the new Captain Marvel series too despite never having bought an issue of the old run. Interesting stuff.
Dear Peter,
I am proud of your accomplishments with the title, and I will be most sorry to see it go.
As always, I wish you the best (and better) in the future. You continue to be my favorite writer of all time.
-Kevin.
