M-O Frisch's monthly numbers are up. From the article:
DC Comics placed six of its releases in the Top 10 in December,
including two issues of Justice League of America, three issues of the
weekly 52 and the debut of new ongoing series Justice Society of
America,
by writer Geoff Johns and artist Dale Eaglesham. The publisher's
output rate, which had seen a drastic 25% increase in November, was only
marginally down from 88 titles to 85 (not counting magazines and cartoon
adaptations). At the same time, however, a whole range of major DC
titles
again failed to appear in December, including three quarters of the
company's Superman line with All Star Superman, Action Comics and
Superman, as well as Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, The Authority, Astro
City: The Dark Age and Deathblow.
Notable December releases from DC Comics were the debut of the ongoing
Batman Confidential, by Andy Diggle and Whilce ****tacio; the return of
the
eponymous Will Eisner creation in Darwyn Cooke's The Spirit; the
launch of WildStorm's Welcome to Tranquility, by Gail Simone and Neil
Googe; another horror film adaptation with Friday the 13th; Vertigo's
latest stab at their favorite franchise with the limited series Sandman
Mystery Theatre: Sleep of Reason; the DCU: Infinite Christmas Special;
and
the final issue of Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's controversial
butchery of superheroes, The Boys, which was recently canceled on short
notice due to content issues.

I'm annoyed that The Boys is cancelled, myself.
