Digital Spy report that two of Marvel's newer titles, Alpha Flight and Iron Man 2.0 have been cancelled. The solicitations for January 2012 point to an end for the two comics (as well as Paul Jenkins' All-Winners Squad) and while the end of the Nick Spencer penned series focusing on the adventures of War Machine may not come as that big of a surprise, no one was expecting the end of Alpha Flight after it was only just recently revealed at the FanExpo in Toronto that it had been upgraded to an ongoing series.
"Fans and friends, I'm sorry to confirm that Alpha Flight will indeed end with issue #8," co-writer Greg Pak tweeted earlier this week. "The book was originally conceived as an 8-issue mini, so we're still telling the big, fun story we intended from the start." There has not yet been any official word on why either of the books have been cancelled, although the September sales for Alpha Flight #4 were only around 23,000.
