Agreed, R˙chean.
WM has carried the recent large expansions online from their release. I don't think this relates to the fact that WM was hesitant about Marvel.
EDIT: Sorry, missed your post, Sweetcurse. I think the question that is out there is just how successful is Wave 8 and will WotC commit to HS at all. If both of these things turn highly positive, then, yes, I can lie to you
