Alliance had the comic bridging the original game with it's then about-to-launch sequel. Six months later, both games were sunsetted. So getting a promo comic doesn't equate to success.
Saying that, I think AvAc has been in some trouble, they retooled it a few months ago to add more combat and completely changed the hero recruitment mechanics.

We seem to recall the issue very differently. The panels go like this:
1- Hank giving a seminar, with the Skrull/girl asking a question. No phone number involved in the story btw...
2- Change to Hank and Jan's appartment in London, Jan coming home drunk and complaining to Hank, before slamming the bedroom door
3- Hank wakes up from falling asleep at his desk to realize Jan and her things are gone, with a Bye note on the mirror.
4- Change to a bed scene with Hank and the girl, and her asking him if he's married, to which he replies "we're separated".
5- Change to different scenes of Hank and the girl doing all sorts of mundane things, and finally the scene where the Skrull reveals herself. Then Jan knocks on the door (of her former appartment, most probably) to tell Hank she's moving back to America.
Unless those scenes somehow don't happen chronologically and we're suppose to somehow guess that (cause there's no "a few days ago" or any other notice in the corner of the pages) he, in fact, didn't cheat on Jan.
I would argue though that Hank's whole behavior during this is very OOC in my opinion. Cheating on Jan would be VERY ooc. Hooking up with some random girl half his age is just slightly less ooc, at least to me. Then again, it was written by Bendis, so it sort of explains itself

so he contacted her telepathically
Hank, with a snarl on his face, told her that she was drunk and that she should go to bed. she said that she could have cheated if she had wanted to; leading into Hank being with the skrull girl.
everything that you mentioned could have occurred over the course of 2 days. Jan was still in England; probably giving him space. she might have returned to the apartment to talk. seeing that Hank was shacked up in their apartment with another woman, she made the decision to return to the United States.
Michael, your last two posts show panels out of order. The second one happens before the first one.
This panel goes in the middle:
Jan's exit.jpg
She's gone. If I had taken out my things and left with a "bye" note, it would mean it's over.
And she clearly said in the last panel (that you posted first) that she came to tell him she's moving back to America.

the order doesn't matter. I also didn't post Hank's passive aggressiveness to her when she first reentered the apartment. read her words. my soon to be very ex-husband. she's telling the woman she caught him with that she's returning to the United States. we don't know what she would have said to Hank if he had been alone. she was reacting to him shacking up with a college aged woman in their apartment. she's only carrying a purse (not luggage).

Why would she drag her luggage back up to their appartment? If she had come back with intentions of making up and changed her mind when she saw the girl, she would probably have her luggage with her, yes. But she was there only to tell him she was going back to the US, so no lugggage .
I really don't even know why we're arguing about this, my initial comment had nothing to do with Hank anyway. I stated the facts I have read from the issue (Mighty Avengers /15 for those who are wondering), I honestly don't know what more I could say about this.
