4. Dial H
Currently Selling: Around 14K copies per month Status: Cancellation Imminent Dial H was one of DC's second wave titles that debuted in May of 2012. Things started off solidly for the title with its first issue selling 40,000 copies and making Diamond's Top 50 comics of that month. However, as things so often do with DC's New 52 titles, things quickly spiralled down-hill. The strange premise, unwelcoming continuity and lack of recognisable characters makes Dial H a tough sale for new readers. While writer China Mieville has tried to win new fans recently by tying in Dial H #11 directly to the end of The Flash #18, it really doesn't seem like it will be enough to save this title. Plus, when DC recently released their 2014 Trade Paperback release schedule, it was revealed that Dial H: Volume 2 collects a huge ten issues (#7 to #16)! This oversized collection has led many to believe DC intends to cancel the title with its sixteenth issue, although we know nothing official yet...
