Cancelled Books and Upcoming Cancellation Speculations

[PCN24454]

But aren’t a lot of these clearly meant to be limited series? Can they really be called cancelled?

The word cancelled is almost as misused as "reboot". Often a book is called cancelled when a new number one comes out within a month or two. Dr. Strange is a great example of this.

Yeah, often books just end because their writers leave. Thor wasn't cancelled for example, and neither was Squirrel Girl, despite the fact that book isn't immediately relaunching. Sometimes we mistakenly THINK a book is cancelled - the covers of Champions vol 2 #18 and vol 3 #10 both looked like a cancellation. The second time it was, but the earlier issue was just the last one by that creative team and a new writer took over the following month without it even being renumbered.

That was why I said these were all the series that "ended" rather than just being "cancelled". Because it can vary from series to series. Some because of low sales, some because the writers wanted to end the story and move on, and some for other outside factors. I just thought it was easier to list them all together rather than specifically trying to indicate which was definitively "cancelled" and which weren't, especially when sometimes the answer is more complicated and less obvious.
