Last year, Marvel Comics was planning to publish a comic book series, How To Read Comics The Marvel Way by Christopher Hastings and Scott Koblish, looking at the actual storytelling abilities of comic books and appealing to people who don't read comics, or have grown up not knowing how. Then, one year ago, pandemic and shutdown hit, and comic book scheduled hit the pavement.

Bleeding Cool has kept a Marvel Missing In Action MIA list noting the return or the official cancellation of a number of series.
