Trivia / Devil's Reign

• Milestone Celebration: The cancelled Luke Cage-centric City on Fire tie-in mini-series was intended to be one for Cage (as 2022 is the one time Power Man's 50th anniversary).
• Real Life Writes the Plot: Possibly with Otto Octavius' inclusion in the event. While it picks up Otto's return to the Big Apple towards the end of Nick Spencer's Spider-Man (and role in Spider-Man Beyond), it's also not hard to see Otto's prominence as a means of tying into the then-upcoming release of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
  • That being said, Zdarsky's admitted he's enjoyed the chance to finally write Otto (as the character wasn't available during his Spectacular Spider-Man run).
• What Could Have Been: One of the tie-in books was a mini-series called Luke Cage: City on Fire, which would have dealt with Cage and his family during the event. For some odd reason, before the event started, the writer claimed that the mini-series was suddenly cancelled.
  • In early February 2023, Anderson finally revealed what exactly happened. Anderson states there were too many similarities between the premise and then-recent real-life events (Black Lives Matter, George Floyd, and the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse) and Marvel Editorial got nervous about potential right wing backlash (and the financial impact).
