cancellations

Following up on our report about the lack of Ironheart in Marvel's December solicitations, a possibly final solicitation for Invaders, and a definitely final solicit for Future Foundation, it's come to our attention that no new issue of Loki is solicited in December either. Instead, we get a trade paperback collecting the first five issues […]

We previously knew — because Bleeding Cool reported it and Jeremy Whitley confirmed it and Rob Liefeld said he could have saved it — that Future Foundation would end with December's Future Foundation #5. Now we have the final solicitation for that series. FUTURE FOUNDATION #5 JEREMY WHITLEY (W) Alti Firmansyah (A) Cover by CARLOS […]

Back in April, we wrote about four Marvel Comics titles which, based mostly on a gut feeling from reading the solicitations released that month, looked like they could be on the chopping block. Those titles were Uncanny X-Men, X-Force, Unstoppable Wasp, and Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. The X-books were confirmed to be ending soon […]

Back in April, following the release of Marvel's July solicits, we told you about the five comics whose solicits indicated they could be on the chopping block taht month. Those comics were: Uncanny X-Men, X-Force, Deadpool, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, and Unstoppable Wasp. Out analysis was based on how "final" the solicitation text felt, […]

Let me start this article off with a disclaimer: everything you're about to read here is speculation. Well-informed speculation, in many cases, but speculation nonetheless. It's entirely possible that any of these solicits represent the end of a storyline or a turning point in the book and not the end of the book. With that […]

This week's issue of X-23 confirms the writing that was on the wall for Marvel's best Wolverine ongoing. X-23 will apparently end with May's X-23 #12. Though Marvel hasn't officially announced the book's cancellation, no solicitation for the book appeared in June's solicitaions, released last month. The solicitation for May's X-23 #12 certainly looked pretty […]

Image Comics has canceled the print run for Near Death Vol. 3 OGN, originally scheduled for release next month, and will instead release the book as a digital original on ComiXology and Image's website. Writer Jay Faerber made the announcement on Twitter, revealing that Image did not feel there were enough orders to print the […]

It looks like another series is a victim of Marvel's patented stealth cancellation. Like X-Men Red, which is missing from Marvel's January solicits, there is no listing for Weapon X that month. And with an X-Force series relaunching in December, perhaps there's no place in the Marvel Mutantverse for Sabretooth's band of rogues and misfits […]

Fans of Ms. Marvel might have be a bit concerned upon seeing Marvel's January solicitations, because there's no new issue of Ms. Marvel to be found. Writer G. Willow Wilson is writing Wonder Woman over at rival DC Comics, which could lead some fans to wonder whether she's leaving the superhero she co-created at Marvel […]

Were you holding out hope that, despite the end of all the other X-Men team books to make room for a weekly Uncanny X-Men, your beloved X-Men Red would continue? Sorry about your damn luck: X-Men Red is dead as a doornail, just as Bleeding Cool told you it would be (pip pip), and unlike […]

Marvel has had the worst PR year in comics since rival DC in 2013. This week, the company canceled a bunch of comics starring POC or LGBTQ leads.That came hot on the heels of the scandal of their new Editor-in-Chief revealing that he pretended to be a Japanese man named Akira Yoshida to write comics […]

It seems that after two seasons, WGN America has told producers of it's slave-era drama Underground that they'll have to find a new home. WGN had previously announced the cancellation of their other drama series, Outsiders with a similar rationale. Regardless of the ratings, the new network owners, Tribune Media, have set out to find […]

FOX cancels 3 more freshman series

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool ran the news that yet another young series from Marvel is getting the chop, this time the current run of Nova, featuring both iterations of the character, by Jeff Loveness and Ramon Pérez with Ian Herring. Hot off the heels of the cancellation of Star-Lord, by Chip Zdarsky, Kris Anka and Matt Wilson, […]

There are some upsides and downsides to this story, though the situation could be more upsetting for fans. As someone who actually owns every issue of Ghost Fleet, by Donny Cates and Daniel Warren Johnson, Resurrectionists, by Fred Van Lente and Maurizio Rosenzweig, and Sundowners by Tim Seely and Jim Terry (yep, I have ALL […]

Bleeding Cool has been told to expect a lot more cancellations that orginally thought for Marvel titles for February of March – but also to expect a very cool guest artist for an issue or 2 of Thor. But for now, courtesy of Marvel's favourite websites Newsarama,  CBR and Comic Book…. Marvel solicitations for February… Frankensteining them […]

Earlier today, we looked at some rumours regarding a number of Marvel books apparently heading for cancellation, courtesy of some gossipy comic book creators. But we also said we'd get back to you about the Captain Marvel comic book Because the comic, while low in sales, is not being cancelled unlike other books at similar […]

We'd heard the rumours around New York Comic Con that I Vampire would be cancelled with issue 18. But with the collection bursting into the New York Times best seller charts and beating its better known rivals, we wondered if this vampire crime conspiracy thriller might survive. And I heard that subsequent scripts past issue […]
