To be fair, Whitley revealed that his FF was hit by several problems and badly delayed as a result. It should've run alongside Unstoppable Wasp, not replaced it, but first he was told he couldn't use Franklin and Valeria, so he added Julie Power and Rikki Barnes instead. Then he couldn't use Rocket because Cates was planning to kill him off (which didn't happen in the end), so he was replaced by Yondu... only for him to get a solo book. By this point issue 1 was already in production, so he made him Lyja the Laserfist (a Skrull) instead. And then one final blow... Outlawed. That meant Alex and Julie needed to come home. Future Foundation was DOA.
