Captain Atom, Resurrection Man and Voodoo will end in September, joining Justice League International in DC Comics' second wave of New 52 cancellations. As the publisher announced last week, four new titles -- Talon, Sword of Sorcery, The Phantom Stranger and Team 7 -- will launch as part of the "Zero Month" initiative.

In short, four series end, four series begin, and in October the title count returns to the magical 52 and balance is restored to the DC Universe.

The solicitations also reveal that September's DC Universe Presents #0 will feature Blackhawks' Mother Machine, Hawk and Dove, Mister Terrific and O.M.A.C., all characters whose titles ended in May, underscoring comments made last week by Co-Publisher Dan DiDio that, "if a series does go away, we want to make sure we have a proper place for the characters."

Think of it as the 2012 version of the Cancelled Comic Cavalcade, only this time with all-new adventures that the solicitation text promises will "play out across the entire New 52." It's a 64-page issue by the likes of DiDio, Cafu, James Robinson, Rob Liefeld and Marat Mychaels.

Note that there's no sign of Static or the Men of War crew, who were also set adrift in the New 52's first wave of cancellations. Perhaps there will be room for those characters, alongside Captain Atom, Resurrection Man and Voodoo, in an upcoming issue.
