That doesn't mean that it will be canceled, they could always pay for using him. Or if not, once this arc ends they could end his story with him staying back in his home. There is still plenty of team members and other heroes who can take his place.
Also I got to read my review copy, and my review is in my link below. But it was a great first issue! Plenty of action, and great writing. It was a build up issue for sure, as David had a lot to cover, but it looks like it's going to be a great series. David is a HUGE Cloak and Dagger fan, so I'm excited!
