The series was scheduled to begin publishing by Marvel Comics in April 2020,[3] but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all Marvel Comics publications ceased publication starting April 1, 2020.[4] Eventually, Marvel Comics resumed their publishing line on May 27, 2020 and included the first issue of the series in its initial lineup,[2] but the release was moved to May 4 for a digital release.[1]
