Marvel Comics has formally canceled the꧃ ongoing comic book title Morbius, as well as three limited series: Amazing Spider-Man: Daily Bugle, Robert E. Howard's Dark Agnes, and the Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker adaptation.&nbsℱp;

For the Morbius ongoing series, its potential return seemed unlikely after Marvel announced an unconnected new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Morbius-one-shot earlier this month.

While seemingly disparate, all these newly-canceled titles have one thing in common: they were all solicited before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and all were among the titles placed on hiatus during the two-month distribution shutdown.

Most other affected Marvel titles resumed publication in the late 😼summer and fall, but these four were among those that did not - and have not released a new issue since the s༺pring of 2020.

Three of the four titles (except for the Rise of Skywalker adaptation) released several issues before the paౠndemic hiatus. While Morbius' five released issues were later collected in th✅e first of a planned multi-volume set, it is unclear if the three limited series affected will ever be finished or collected.

Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker was scheduled to begin on April 1 but was stymied by the pandemi🎀c. If Marvel doesn't ultimately release the adaptation, it would break a long tradition of Star Wars movies being adapted to comic books, going all the way bacꦑk to the original 1977 film.

Marvel's cancelation not☂ice for today's four titles seems final, however, as it was coded with its distributor Diamond as the publisher ha♔ving no plans to resolicit these series.
