"Dark Guard", "Cyberspace 3000", "Wild Thing", "Black Axe", "Super Soldiers", and the entire Frontier imprint were cancelled. A large number of projects in the works, from those just proposed to some that had been solicited, were also canceled. The "Red Mist 20:20" crossover was killed so late that "Roid Rage" #1, a "Super Soldiers" spinoff, was canceled while at the printers. Mark Harrison's "Loose Cannons" was canceled shortly before it was meant to run (January 1994), despite being almost complete; was later put online by Harrison. Paul Neary told "Comic World" that this was a "trimming of fat" to allow Marvel UK to focus its marketing efforts on "our strongest characters" and claimed the canceled projects would see the light of day in 1994. Two titles that did still run were spinoffs of "Death's Head II" in November, with house ads brashly comparing them to other popular comics as part of a marketing strategy to portray the new Marvel UK as a lean, hungry company that could hold its own against the larger (and implicitly duller) competition.
