A little tidbit about the high sales of the Comicraft FF 6:  Tom Brevoort was all over the internet back in 2000 saying he needed to hit 4K minimum (but hopefully 5K+) in pre-orders to ensure further volumes, so many of us pre-ordered and over-ordered to give the program a push.  We couldn't maintain enthusiasm, however, and pre-sales dropped sharply thereafter.  A little over a year later, the program went back on hiatus.

That's because they seemed to have made horrible choices after the initial volume. Those first four should have been surefire winners... F4, Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, and Uncanny X-Men... instead of one major volume and three also-rans.
