With a radical new status quo following the events of Forever Evil, both Superman Unchained and Nightwing will conclude in April, DC Comics’s newly-released solicitations reveal.While artist Jim Lee had previously hinted that Superman Unchained might only last for one full arc, DC and writer Scott Snyder had tried their best to dance around that claim, complete with an implication that the series could possibly go on without Lee.According to recently-released sales numbers, Superman Unchained was one of DC’s most impressive performers last year; after generating more than $1.25 million in revenue with its first issue, the second was the only non-event or non-#1 book included in the ten top single-issue sellers industry wide in 2013.Nightwing–whose identity was revealed to the world in Forever Evil #1–has been a key part of the storyline so far and his fate has been much-teased. Some fans are worried about his death, since he doesn’t appear in the “Thanksgiving” spoiler that teases the post-Forever Evil Batman status quo, and since it’s widely known that DC’s co-publisher Dan DiDio wanted the character to die in Infinite Crisis. That seems like an awful lot of evidence pointing in the same story direction, though, and Geoff Johns typically likes to steer away from the obvious answer in such cases.
