COMICS: Marvel Cancellation Craze Claims ANOTHER Victim: Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive!

Ghost Rider has been given the axe and now Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive will come to a close with #529...

All-Winners Squad. Alpha Flight. Destroyers. Ghost Rider. Iron Man 2.0. Victor Von Doom. X-23. And now Comic Book Resources report, Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive. What do all these comic books have in common? They've all been cancelled by Marvel. Some remain unfinished, others never published, but the latest casualty by David Liss is a book which has been met with a positive reaction from fans and critics alike. The former King of Wakanda took over the title after the events of Shadowland and launched last December, maintaining the numbering of Daredevil and originally keeping "The Man Without Fear" tagline.

With art by Francesco Francavilla, Shawn Martinbrough and Michael Avon Oeming, the book has been a visual treat, while award winning author David Liss has crafted some fantastic stories over the past year. I actually spoke to the writer when the book launched, and he was clearly enthusiastic about his work on the comic. You can find that interview HERE.



The site also mention that the solicitation for the final issue teases, Kingpin vs. T’Challa in this status-quo changing series finale. (cover art above) Whether this means they'll relaunch the book as a new #1 is unclear, but with the series currently selling at roughly 18,000 copies, it's unfortunately pretty unlikely.

Funny most of the titles cancelled have been FOX related properties. Punisher just came back to Marvel Studios, so I see a conspiracy.

@marvel72

whoa whoa, apparently X-Factor isn't selling all that great, but it's a damn good comic with awesome writing and constant twists and constantly leaving loose ends that cleverly come back into play 5-15 issues later.

Can you tell I'm a fan? lol

@ alcoholica

no don't cancel x-factor,i believe sales will return to that book when havok & others return in this regenesis arc.

@ Marvel72

Hope so, but I like Madrox being the fumbling leader. I hope he doesn't take too much of a backseat to Havok. There's gonna be a lot of members on that team. Soon they'll need X-Factor, Uncanny X-Factor, Astonishing X-Factor, X-Factor Legacy, etc., lol.

The black panther art was shit. I could never read them completely cuz the are just wasn't nice to look at. I wish the would be a different artist on the Black Panther. Give it the love it needs.

@Marvel72

Yeah I started reading it ONLY because it crossed over with Messiah and was not looking forward to it but then I got super hooked.

Still waiting for Marvel 53...lol.


That cover is a shameless Batman ripoff. I actually had to check to make sure I didn't click on the wrong article. That said, I hate seeing ANYONE lose their jobs. I hope the creative team lands on their feet on a more viable project.

@MrNoFear. That is just hilarious. lol

Dude I loved this series! If they cancel this I hope they do another Black Panther series, I've really enjoyed the character since reading the first "Black Panther: Man Without Fear"

I'm mostly a DC man but I'm surprised by some of the cancellations Marvel is making.It's not a good sign for either company that they've had to limit their output.Hopefully times will change and characters will start to reappear.But I'm getting a bad feeling about the future of the industry.The more movies that are made,the fewer comics get sold (after the innevitable short term upswing due to publicity).I'm sure there will be a DC and Marvel in the future,albeit in a smaller,less prominent form,but I'm more and more leaning toward the indie side of the business for new and exciting books.It's like the early 80's and the indie revolution all over again! :)

Hopefully this is leading to Marvel outputting quality and not quantity.
