(Worthy News) – DC Comics announced the cancelation of the series “Second Coming” after nearly a quarter of a million Christians protested against it.
Bleeding Cool reports that the popular comic book publisher informed retailers that they had decided against publishing the “Second Coming” series. Written by Mark Russell and illustrated by Richard Pace for DC Vertigo, the series was set to debut in March.
