"DC Comics has denied rumours that The Shade is in jeopardy. Writer James Robinson has said that low sales are threatening his 12-issue miniseries with early cancellation. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sure it will sell more copies as a collection than it will as a periodical, but we&amp;#039;re happy with The Shade creatively and commercially right now,&amp;quot; DC&amp;#039;s senior vice president of sales Bob Wayne told Comic Book Resources. Robinson has returned to the reformed villain, who rose to popularity in the pages of his acclaimed Starman series. The title features artwork from a series of top illustrators including Cully Hamner, Darwyn Cooke, Javier Pulido, Jill Thompson, Frazer Irving and Gene Ha. Robinson is currently working on the upcoming Earth 2 and Vandal Savage-starring arc of DC Universe Presents. The Shade #5 will be released on Wednesday, February 29.
