** [[https://web.archive.org/web/20090615051135/http://marvwolfman.com/2007/08/disney-adventures-rip.html According to Marv Wolfman]], the reason the magazine's founding staff in Burbank were replaced with the New York staff in 1995 was because Disney was seeking to consolidate its publishing operations in New York.

** The July 1992 article about villains claims that [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Shredder]] lives in the sewers; he doesn't, but the Turtles do. It also claims that Lex Luthor hates ComicBook/{{Superman}} because of an accident from when they were kids; while this ''was'' the origin for comic book Lex, DA uses an image of Creator/GeneHackman's Lex from ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'', who didn't have that in his backstory.

* StillbornFranchise:
** Given its name, the title characters of ''ComicBook/TheAdventuresOfDAndA'' were very clearly meant to become the magazine's mascots; and per the RoguesGallery teased in the comic's third story, the writers had several stories planned. However, the characters themselves had no presence anywhere else in the magazine, and the comic was quietly canceled after its third story.
** ''Luna Park'' looks like it was intended to be a recurring feature, given its introductory page in the April 1999 issue, but its second and last appearance was in Heidi [=MacDonald=]'s penultimate issue as comics editor. The comics section later attempted to recapture ''Luna Park'''s "spooky" vibe with ''Little Gloomy'' and ''Society of Horrors''.

** [[https://music-slut.livejournal.com/241292.html According to Kean Soo]], there were talks to include ''ComicBook/{{Jellaby}}'' short stories in the magazine, with the first to be included in the January 2008 issue (to coincide with the release of the ''Jellaby'' graphic novel). Ultimately this didn't happen because of the magazine's cancellation.
