    This is something I’ve grown to learn to love with Rosenberg’s Marvel stuff. He likes to leave things almost open ended to give him something to work with in his other Marvel stuff. He did it on New Mutants mini, Multiple Man mini, Phoenix Resurrection, etc. all things he’d address in his Uncanny run. It’s kinda fun. Not everything is a direct continuation of his older plots, like Remender’s Uncanny X-Force into his Uncanny Avengers run, but he’d touch on elements, making it feel like a shared universe. Something writers did back in the 70’s and 80’s.

    I absolutely expected DD to show up instead of Spidey ngl

    To be fair, he's BEEN wearing a costume with a mask recently, which is when he's started getting so beat up! lol

    That said, I would absolutely love for him to start wearing a more classic Hawkeye costume again.

    Heh, I think we all do. Might just rename the thread to "Hawkeyes Mask appreciation thread" for next year.

    Ooff. Rosenberg's reaction to someone on twitter finding out that there are no Freefall solicits for June and whether there is still something fans can do:

    Go back in time and buy a lot more copies. But honestly, if you have the ability to do that I have some suggestions of how you might better use your talents.
    That sucks ass

    Huh, that is surprising. I swear when this title was first announced the solicits said "1 of 5" but Rosenberg claimed it was never a mini and always an ongoing. Then it seemed to be doing really well in sale, or at least I was under the impression there were second printings of the first few issues? Maybe I just saw so much about it because of who I follow so I assumed it was doing really well.

    That definitely sucks! I was just starting to get used to the idea that it was an ongoing after all, and then it gets yanked away.

    At least we get one more issue than the 5 than it was originally solicited as.

    He also said it was only ever intended as a six issue thing so sufficient to say they really did not communicate that all too well.

    Reading through what he's been posting on Twitter, what it sounds like to me is that he pitched the initial 6 issue arc which Marvel greenlit, with the understanding that if it sold well it could be extended into more issues. I guess it didn't sell well enough so Marvel decided 6 issues was enough. So it wasn't specifically considered a mini, but it's not really cancelled, they're just not picking up more. He told the initial story he set out to tell, but would have liked to continue with more.

    That's what I got from his thread too but we'll.mthat makes the next two issues all the more important.
