Ashcan Copy: Marvel's agreement with Hasbro required that any character introduced in the Marvel/Transformers crossover would belong to Hasbro so Marvel created a quick short-story for Death's Head first, allowing them to retain the copyright.
A Mockingbird-centric television series has been cycling in and out of development for the past decade or so, but aside from her co-starring role on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., it remains to be seen if/when it'll ever happen.
Where the supposed Cloak and Dagger movie or TV show Marvel is trying to create was until April 2016.
You'll also be forgiven if you mistake Death's Head II for a Predator at first.
Death's Head II also served as the launching pad for several '90s Anti-Hero superheroes, such as Death Wreck, Die Cut and Death Metal.
Keep Circulating the Tapes: Many of Death's Head crossover stories cannot be reprinted due to licensing conflicts, most notably with The Transformers (Marvel). (Those stories can be published by IDW Publishing, Hasbro's licencee, if permission is granted by Marvel.) The various reprints usually explain these omitted stories as missing archival records.
Recycled Script: Marvel retold the origin of The Rawhide Kid multiple times over the years, usually with almost identical scripts, but different art, as shown here.
Science Marches On: At one point people thought that the expansion of the universe would eventually cease, gravity would force it all back together and the universe would die in a "Big Crunch", perhaps followed by a new Big Bang. Galactus' origin was then tied to it: he's the lone survivor of the previous universe, turned into his current state by the change. This even became an integral aspect of the Marvel Universe beyond just Galactus; among other things, the First Firmament is the "original" universe, and Franklin Richards will be the last survivor of the current universe when it collapses, in a similar role to that of Galactus for the previous one. Too bad that we know since 1998 that the expansion of the universe is actually accelerating rather than slowing down, and the "Big Crunch" is nowadays a debunked theory. But it's too late to retcon the origin of Galactus now, so let's keep using it.
Artist and co-creator Liam Sharpe has a number of pics from various proposals for a Death's Head II revival (including one set in the Ultimate universe) posted in his DeviantArt gallery.
George Clooneywas in the running to play Fury around the time Fury (MAX) was being released—and said series was, in fact, what ultimately killed the deal as Clooney was disgusted by some of the stuff in it, most notably Fury gutting Gagarin and proceeding to use Gagarin's own intestines to strangle him to death.
Despite often compared to Darkseid, Jim Starlin had originally intended to have Thanos be Marvel's answer to another one of the New Gods, Metron. However, when editor Roy Thomas saw the idea, he told Starlin that if he was going to steal one of the New Gods, he might as well steal the most interesting onenote ironically, the New Gods, and by extension, Darkseid, were origially conceived by Jack Kirby while he was working at Marvel, intending for them to replace Thor and the Asgardians, and had Starlin buff up Thanos- something Starlin actually quite liked doing. The finished project was closer to Darkseid, although some elements of the original Metron-inspired design (most notably, traveling around the universe in a floating chair) remain.
Trivia for the Animation Block:
Dueling Blocks: With DC Nation, fittingly enough. Disney/Marvel officially won when Cartoon Network failed to give Nation any kind of support, despite comic book adaptations being literally the hottest thing in entertainment today, and DC's most popular character himself being a successful television staple since the 1960s.
Recursive Adaptation: Each show in this block has a series of tie-in comic books.
