The Victor Von Doom mini was apparently actually cancelled due to production problems, not sales/financial reasons like the others. (Although that itself may have had a lot to do with the original editor being let go very shortly before it was due to come out.)

But yeah, there seems to be a general impression floating around that the budget slashing has little to do with Marvel being under actual financial pressure and everything to do with this guy trying to squeeze it till it bleeds more profits.
