I can't fathom how this is good business for Marvel?


It can get expensive to keep printing books if the demand doesn't exist for the kinds of quantities you need to have to bring a book on press, even if that's only an additional press run. It's better for a publisher to concentrate on the titles where there is sustained demand (as Marvel has been, with several of the softcover volumes having gone through multiple printings).
