Ca a été plus rapide que prévu :
[QUOTE]DC Comics Co-Publishers Jim Lee and Dan DiDio announced the news in a joint statement on official DC Universe blog The Source Tuesday afternoon, writing, "After taking the comics scene by storm nearly 20 years ago, the WildStorm Universe titles will end this December." Lee and DiDio went on to clarify that while this is the end of WildStorm as a separate publishing division, it's not the end of the WildStorm Universe's characters, continuing, "In this soft marketplace, these characters need a break to regroup and redefine what made them once unique and cutting edge. While these will be the final issues published under the WildStorm imprint, it will not be the last we will see of many of these heroes. We, along with Geoff Johns, have a lot of exciting plans for these amazing characters, so stay tuned." WildStorm's licensed comics — which currently includes several video game adaptations such as Ratchet and Clank and Resident Evil — and kids comics will be published under the DC banner. The post on The Source also confirmed the official end of digital publishing initiative Zuda, which was shuttered as a separate Web site in July. WildStorm was founded by Lee in 1992 as one of the original divisions of Image Comics. In 1999, the imprint was sold to DC Comics, with Lee remaining as editorial director. Notable WildStorm Universe titles included flagship title WildC.A.T.S., Gen 13, and highly fluential runs on Stormwatch and The Authority by writer Warren Ellis. Wanted and Kick-Ass writer Mark Millar helped cement his reputation with a run on The Authority. WildStorm also housed Alan Moore's America's Best Comics imprint, which published Top 10, Tom Strong and Promethea. The company's Homage Studios published Kurt Busiek's Astro City, and, at times, acclaimed independent titles Strangers in Paradise, Leave It To Chance and The Maxx. [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE] The changes happening behind the scenes this week are part of a greater campaign to reshape DC Comics and build a company for the future. Our responsibility as Co-Publishers is to find a balance between short term opportunities and long term vision; between our strengths in traditional print formats and the infinite potential beyond print; between our characters’ rich legacies in the past and the bright promise for the future they hold. As we’ve said before, there’s much to celebrate about DC. The foundation for long-term success is already here. The DC Universe features the modern adventures of the World’s Greatest Superheroes, as envisioned by an exciting mix of new and fan favorite comic book creators. Vertigo is committed to publishing cutting edge, creator owned comic books and graphic novels by a wide array of creative voices. One of our first decisions of the Co-Publishers was to up the publication of MAD Magazine from a quarterly periodical to a bimonthly one. In the wake of that decision, the magazine has seen increased sell-through growth. And we’re thrilled that MAD’s brand of madcap humor now stretches across media, with a highly-rated television show on Cartoon Network. The Usual Gangs of Idiots are an important part of this company and pop culture. As we move forward, we also have to acknowledge the need for change. After taking the comics scene by storm nearly 20 years ago, the WildStorm Universe titles will end this December. In this soft marketplace, these characters need a break to regroup and redefine what made them once unique and cutting edge. While these will be the final issues published under the WildStorm imprint, it will not be the last we will see of many of these heroes. We, along with Geoff Johns, have a lot of exciting plans for these amazing characters, so stay tuned. Going forward, WildStorm’s licensed titles and kids comics will now be published under the DC banner. After this week, we will cease to publish new material under the ZUDA banner. The material that was to have been published as part of ZUDA this year will now be published under the DC banner. The official closing of ZUDA ends one chapter of DC’s digital history, but we will continue to find new ways to innovate with digital, incorporating much of the experience and knowledge that ZUDA brought into DC. We’ll be further expanding our digital initiative and making a lot more news in this space. As part of that transformation, the WildStorm editorial team will undergo a restructuring and be folded into the overall DC Comics Digital team, based in Burbank, which will be led by Jim Lee and John Rood. With nearly two million free downloads and hundreds of thousands of paid downloads, our digital foray is already reaching a new audience worldwide. We could not be more excited by the successful launch of our Digital Publishing products in June, which exceeded all sales forecasts and will be building on our early success with new applications for DC material on all major formats and hardware, partnering with Warner Bros Digital Distribution. It has extremely been rewarding to hear anecdotal stories of lapsed readers returning to the art form and of brick and mortar stores gaining new customers who sampled digital comics. We remain, as ever, dedicated to working with the greatest creators this industry has to offer, while inspiring generations of creators and readers to embrace this medium that we all love. Jim Lee and Dan DiDio DC Comics Co-Publishers[/QUOTE]

C'est bien là le problème, quelqu'un est-il en mesure de citer un titre publié par Wildstorm ces cinq dernières années, qui l'aurait autant marqué que The Authority, Planetary, Promethea, Wildcats, et j'en passe?

Clair que la logique économique allait trancher...
Il va falloir s'attendre à des coupes ailleurs pour payer le déménagement... :D

La logique économique, bien sûr.
En 2008, [B]Gears of War #1[/B], paru sous le label Wildstorm, est le comic-book qui s'est le plus vendu cette année-là. Pas loin de 450 000 exemplaires. [URL="http://www.bleedingcool.com/2009/10/17/jim-lee-confirms-gears-of-war-1-was-best-selling-title-of-2008/"]Jim Lee l'a reconnu lui-même, du bout des lèvres.[/URL] |

Des licences facilement intégrables chez DC en somme... Parce que pour le reste les titres historiques de DC (Stormwatch, wildtruc et Authoritruc) ne dépasse pas les 10 000

Donc il aurait fallu tout garder pour 1 titre qui s'est beaucoup vendu au #1.
Quid des autres autres numéros?
