Team 7 is cancelled with this issue, so if you haven't been reading the series--and odds are you haven't--this is your last chance to see why it didn't last a year.

Breaking (Bad) News: TEAM 7 Cancelled

Team 7, one of Dinah Lance's regular hangouts in the New 52, has been cancelled.  The final issue of the series will be May's issue #8.

I read issues #0 and #1 of this series, and that was really all I could do by way of supporting it.  I thought the concept was lacking and the execution awful.  I'm disappointed there will be one less series starring Black Canary on the stands, but clearly this series wasn't helping her popularity.  Plus, maybe she'll have more time to hang out with the Big Guns over in Justice League.

Cover for Team 7 #6, art by... who cares?

Team 7 premiered with a #0 issue in last september.  It's final issue will make the ninth in the series.  DC has also announced the cancellation of Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Man, The Savage Hawkman, Deathstroke, Ravagers, and Sword of Sorcery.  If you see Shag Braverton at Firestorm Fan or Luke at Being Carter Hall, give them a hug.
