New Brevoort Formspring

Tom, I’m a huge fan of ANAD Marvel but it seems like a bunch of titles are either cancelled or on the chopping block.  I understand that sales drives this and titles come and go, my question is more concerning when a title’s cancellation is announced.  I know Bleeding Cool loves to speculate on what they term ‘stealth cancellations’ but they are correct that titles sometimes just drop out of solicitations well before their official cancellation is announced.  Is there a specific reason for this?  It seems like once the decision is made, why is it a bad thing to let people know that a title they’ve been reading is coming to an end?  I know I would appreciate knowing whether something I’m enjoying is no longer going to be published.  Any insight you can provide on this?

Does anybody announce when something is cancelled? Not to the best of my knowledge–because there is no upside to doing so. What Bleeding Cool likes to call “Stealth Cancellations” are simply cancellations.
