In an interview about Avengers Disassembled the "Chaos" storyarc is given (twice) as being five issues and not four (thus Avengers (I) cont. was planned to end with issue #504). Also, it was stated that Avengers Disassembled will cross over into Thor (II), Iron Man (III), Spectacular Spider-Man (II) and The Pulse. But there was not "Puls Disassembled".
Bryan Singer (along with X2 screenwriters Mike Dougherty and Dan Harris) was supposed to be the author for 12 issues of Ultimate X-Men.
It was rumored that there would be a Thor relaunch after Avengers Disassembled, possibly written by Neil Gaiman. Any case, past Marvel 1602 there were plans to keep Gaiman at Marvel. More about Avengers Disassembled: The lenght of the "Chaos" storyarc is given as four issues.
Talking about the eight Spider-Man projects, Sins Past is mentioned as being "a three-issue arc with issue #509" (it turned out to be six issues). Arana at this point is called "the all-new Spider-Girl".
A preview about X-Men: ReLoad claims Starjammers (II) by Kevin J Anderson was planned to be ongoing.
An interview about J. Michael Straczynski enlists forthcoming Spider-Man projects, claiming this time Sins Past to be planned a five-issue arc.
In a side-note for Iron Fist (IV) it is mentioned that "the first arc wraps with August's issue #6" which suggests Marvel had not planned to axe it at that point.
A sidebar about John Romita Jr claims that he drew the cover of DC/Marvel Crossover Classics TPB vol.2, or at least, he drew Superman and Batman on it.
Ultimate Nightmare was planned as a four-issue mini (it had five issues).
The Buzz Bin mentions that X-Men: ReLoad will also have separate series starring X-Force (X-Force (II)), Jubilee (Jubilee), Gambit (Gambit (IV)), Nightcrawler (Nightcrawler (II)) and even the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. The last one was never written/published.
Tomb of Dracula (III) is stated to be a six issue series. (It only reached #4).
An article about Ellis' Extremis arc on Iron Man claims that it starts with issue #90, so at that point Marvel probably had not planned to relaunch it as Iron Man (IV).
J. Michael Straczynski' Strange (I) miniseries is referred to as "Dr Strange: Beginnings and Endings"
An article about Brubaker's planned run on Captain America claims it starts with issue #33, so most likely Marvel had not planned the relaunch as Captain America (V) in this case either.
Steranko is stated to have created over 150 unprecedented narrative devices and techniques.
Issue lists five photo covers from Marvel: The Amazing Spider-Man (I) #262, Spider-Woman (I) (Jessica Drew) #50, Dazzler #21, Daredevil (I) #45, Marvel Team-Up (I) #128.
