오늘은 연재를 종료하는 시리즈들이 상당히 많군. 2007년부터 일련의 미니시리즈와 one-shot으로 이어져왔던 Marvel의 The Dark Tower 시리즈는 one-shot 이슈인 So Fell Lord Perth로써 끝을 맺었고, "gimmick cover 사용해서 DC가 독자들로부터 1달러씩 더 뜯어먹는 9월"의 일부인 Dial E가 남아있긴 하지만 정식 제목으로는 마지막인 Dial H, 6부작 미니시리즈라는 예고는 없었지만 작가들의 말에 따르면 이번 이슈가 끝이고 마지막 페이지에 주인공 캐릭터는 돌아올것이라는 글이 있어서 결말이라는 것을 알려주는 Helheim, 판매저조로 계획보다 조기에 연재를 종결하게 된 Higher Earth, 6부작 미니시리즈의 6번째 이슈인 The Legend Of Luther Strode 등이 모두 오늘 끝났지.

Kickstarter의 모금을 통해서 처음 5개 이슈를 공짜로 독자들에게 나눠주는 (사실 내가 가는 만화전문점에서는 원가 25센트에 판매) Cyber Force의 #5 마지막 공짜이슈 발매. 오늘 구입했기 때문에 아직 #5 이슈는 읽지 못했지만 #4 이슈까지 읽은 감상은, 연재 초반에 흥미를 자아내는 반전에도 불구하고 그 다음부터는 스토리텔링의 속도가 늘어져서 긴장감을 제대로 유지하지 못했고, 게다가 본래 월간 연재 계획이었지만 #1~4 이슈는 사실상 격월간 연재였고 2명의 penciller와 3명의 inker를 동원했음에도 불구하고 #5 이슈는 #4 이슈 발매 이후 거의 4개월이 지난 오늘에서 겨우 나와서 나 개인적으로는 독자로써 관심을 잃을수밖에 없어서, #6 이슈부터 정가에 구입해서 읽을 계획은 없음.
