Marvel Unlimited - what's happening on Wednesday 5 February?

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.

I mean, these are all just creative issues. If the book had been commercially successful for the direct market standards, I doubt it would've been cancelled literally after just one issue was out (and we know it was cancelled after one issue because Whitley was basically forced to confirm the rumor that BleedingCool had spread). I don't think the book was creatively doomed from the beginning because Whitley himself said he had plans for future arcs, which means he was expecting to write more issues beyond the 5 he got. And we don't know if the new Power Pack series had anything to do with FF's cancellation. FF was cancelled so quickly that it's possible that they greenlit PP already knowing the other book was axed.

Seriously? They hyped it up and all it is is a trivia contest?

So it's a trivia contest but the winners will be picked at random. You don't even have to get the answer correct.

I would love to win.

Pretty underwhelming if I don't.

Disappointing

Contest is over, and they said they're going to pick 24 winners, so that sounds a little more promising.....
