I have no doubt -- thanks to the nuggets he's shared over the years -- that Cory has plans for the Masterworks that extend out many years and include the Golden Age and Atlas Era material. At the same time, Cory's plans are subject to market forces, managerial direction, and a host of other issues beyond his control. Plans, sometimes, get delayed or derailed, despite the good faith effort that went into their creation and the intention that remains to carry them out.

I really hate constantly bringing up this point, and I wouldn't if I were 30 years old, but I'm two month's shy of my 60th birthday and time is an important consideration for me. Knowing that Marvel may continue the Gold or Atlas volumes "down the road" does me no good. Each passing day brings me closer to being a collected editions "seller" instead of a buyer.
