ABC Officially Cancels Marvel’s Inhumans
Marvel's Inhumans won't see a second season.
As reported by TVLine, ABC has canceled the show after just one season, which spanned a total of eight episodes. For the majority of its run, Marvel's Inhumans averaged a 0.6 rating and viewer count of 2.65 million. For its final two episodes, the show dropped to a 0.5 rating and 1.95 million viewers.

Opinion: Marvel Finally Justified Bringing Back the Original Venom
Most things in superhero comics come full circle sooner or later, and so it was when Marvel restored Eddie Brock as the human host of the Venom symbiote in 2017. This was one of many ways Marvel overhauled its comic book line to appeal more directly to readers nostalgic for the "good old days" of the '80s and '90s. But nostalgia aside, bringing back Eddie Brock never felt like the best or most inspired direction for the Venom franchise. Some cynics might even argue Marvel only made that change to prepare for the upcoming Venom movie. It's only now, as a new creative teams kicks off a relaunched series and new status quo for Venom, that Eddie Brock's return is actually beginning to pay off.
