    It seems kind of odd they couldn't make a go of it given how big
    the McGuire films and the Spiderverse films have been.

    Perhaps Marvel simply couldn't find a writer who was willing and able to
    take it on.

    Dilbert is gone from the newspapers but the daily is still available for
    the princely sum of $7/month. I suspect that an annual book will be
    published also.

    It also occurred to me after posting the above that maybe Disney
    raised the license fees to the point where KF didn't think it was
    worth it.

    Even the third Spider-Verse film planned for 2024 is delayed due to the SAG/AFTRA strike.
