A Doctor Doom miniseries canceled before it's even out

The news has come out that a miniseries about the Fantastic Four's archnemesis has been canceled without even seeing the light of day. It could be tied in with the layoffs they've been making recently, and is another sign that as a book publisher, they may not have a much longer life.

As sad as it will be if Marvel goes under, that will be the result of years of their increasing contempt for and shutting out the old audience while doing nothing to gain any new ones. And I wouldn't be surprised if the Doom miniseries added nothing of value to the history of the supervillain, nor does it do any favors for the Fantastic Four either.
