While I find it incredibly disheartening that Marvel is cancelling Captain Marvel, I can't say that I am surprised. To be honest, the book has been loosing momentum for a while now. The stories haven't been nearly as strong as they once were, and the humor that drove the book to be a critical success 4 years ago has all but disappeared.
When they relaunched the title almost two years ago, it seemed to be to a good thing. While the humor was gone, the storylines were deep, dark and compelling. But, that initial boost slowly faded and has left the book a pale version of what it once was.
I do not like to see any books cancelled, but I will say that maybe it was time to let this Captain Marvel go, before he and the great Peter David slipped any further into madness.
