Doesn't surprise me. A lot of Marvel's books are 3.99 these days, so people are dropping the lesser ones faster, which extrapolates into a thinner publishing list.
Of course, these kind of decisions are usually made a month or two in advance, so how odd is it that they decided to can the book with only 2 or three issues out?

they may be canceling Thunderbolts, but hang around for the exciting new superteam... Avengerbolts and it's companion book Criminal Avengers! From the House of Ideas!
Aww, I hope not.
I was kinda gettin' into that book, even if they did nerf Juggernaut's powers again. Plus they had Man-Thing. I love Ma........
Yeah, no way I'm settin' myself up for that one.

I gave up on Bendis after Decimation, cancled my saves at my local comic shop and have been happily reading Secret Six ever since. I've got no idea who is even buying the Avengers anymore....well except for Kasoh obviously.
So the Juggernaut finally decided not to be on a team full of people he could kill.

Bummer. The book has been kind of average since Warren Ellis left, but I was interested to see where the new team went. Heroic Age indeed...
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

Word is that Thunderbolts is not canceled, for whatever reason it just won't be available for subscription anymore.
Tales of Judgment. Also here, instead of that other place.
good luck D.B.B.
The current art looks like *** in my opinion.
I have always been more of a story guy then an art guy, But if the art is bad enough it is damn hard to get me to pick it up.
Good.
Now, can we re-power Juggernaut, get the symbiote off of Gargan, and put Songbird back the way she was?

Juggernaut needed some humility.
Mac Gargan is more interesting with the symbiote than he was with a prehensile tail.
"The way she was?" Meaning as Screaming Mimi/a villain? I like her as a hero.
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

I'm not sure if that makes me feel better or worse. I've already paid for the issues and rather then fulfilling the rest of my subscription I have to pick another comic because they didn't feel like making it available that way anymore? **** MARVEL!

Canceling Thunderbolt is a {U} loss in direct tradeoff, but may be worthwhile to save an important creature.

No, what he needs is to run around without his helmet for a good while and pound the bejeezus out of a series of some incredibly tough non-psychic opponents so that the numerous idiots out there who think his power/physical invulnerability comes from his helmet might learn something.

How can you make a super strong invulnerable guy feel humble after She-Hulk took him to bed?!? If anything he should be standing tall on the prow of the Shield Heli-Carrier roaring something about the world and being King or something...:-)
Col. Fury(looking out to the prow): Uh...?!?
Random Shield Agent(addressing Fury): We're not sure either sir. We changed our launch patterns around him. And most of us just accept him as a noisy hood ornament or something--(quietly) Bow Maiden doesn't really seem appropriate...or healthy to say...so...yeah!

Alright, even I'm tired of all of the Deadpool books. But one team book (NOT a team of three other Deadpools) couldn't hurt. In the grand scheme, he would fit better with the T-Bolts than in one of the X-Books right now. The X-ers are just too serious for DP.
