It's about 2/3rds the way down.

It's too bad. It seems that he and Gail are leaving Action. I guess I will be too.

And Blood of the Demon ends at 18? That totally sucks. I liked the Angelisation of Jason Blood.

You need to separate the man from his work.

I just pray this doesn't mean Gail is going to Marvel. DC needs to give her whatever she wants to keep her at DC. She's getting better and better by the issue.

I've liked both Action and Demon. It's a bummer. I'm only reading Action because of the creative team, but Demon I just really like the character so I'll read a Demon book by whoever is doing it.

Doom Patrol ends with #18 too.

I remember in the 80's when DP was going to be shut down with #18, they gave it a chance with a new writer: Grant Morrison. Why the fel the need to cancel a title instead of trying to save it I'll never know.

Im sad to see them both leave Action. The last issue, with Dr Psycho and Black Adam was just freaking awesome, and Byrnes art with Nelson inking it hasnt looked this good since the Terry Austin days.

Blood of the Demon is on issue 6 right now. I can't imagine that they would decide to cancel it 12 issues in advance. Seems like sales would either be bad enough to cancel it now, or you'd wait until later to decide.

In other words, I call bullshit on that one.
