I should be packing my suitcase


Just saw the news item about CrossGen canceling Sojourn, one of their best-selling books. Allegedly this is due to “sales being low”, but considering it’s one of their best-sellers it’s far more likely that they have been caught off-guard with no one to work on it after writer Ian Edgington and penciller Greg Land (the true “draw” of the series, no pun intended) have both quit CrossGen.

It seems a terrible shame to leave the storyline unfinished.

I also hear that the fifth Sojourn trade has been canceled. I don’t really get why CrossGen is having a problem with trades. Trades offer pre-existing content, so it’s already “finished” and all you have to do is produce it and make money. Perhaps it is that, if there is no end to an epic story, people won’t want to read what happens anymore? (The sentiments of some Newsarama responses make it clear that that could be part of it.)
