Reading the Amazon solicitations like tea leaves the other week, we noted that it appeared that a few Marvel titles showed the signs of being about to be cancelled.

Extra issues, or surprisingly few issues being added to upcoming trade paperbacks, and he removal of Volume 1 from some of them…

And The Black Knight was one of them. Sadly Frank Tieri confirmed the news on Facebook, saying,

Ok, bad news time, folks… I can officially talk about this now and can confirm that yeah, issue #5 of BLACK KNIGHT will indeed be our last. It sucks and there's a lot I could say about it but in the end, the bottom line is the market is what it is these days and the sales just weren't there. It was an honor and a privilege to bring Dane's adventures in Weirdworld to you — and we're not quite done yet as we'll be wrapping up our storyline which actually can act as a limited series the way it's structured. Proud of the work we did here and wanted to thank Team BK for all their efforts and great work. And most of all I wanted to thank the BK fans who have always been great in their support– without you there would never have been a BLACK KNIGHT book to begin with. Wish I had better news but hopefully you guys will enjoy the next 2 issues as we close this thing out. The ebony blade sheathes for now…

What news, Angela or Howling Commandoes?

Could Death's Head have been cancelled before it even began?
