Don't you think doing a Hyperion series at the same time as trying to launch a Squadron Supreme series is counter-intuitive. Squadron Supreme was where fans of Hickman's Hyperion could go to continue with that character. To then give him a solo series, makes that the de-facto go-to point and makes it more difficult for a book like Squadron Supreme to stick around. Squadron Supreme has a finite shelf-life, just like All-New Invaders or Morbius, and doing Hyperion only shortens it.

I don’t agree with you on this.

This is not a zero sum game, and that myopic view needs to be removed from comics. There is room for genuine growth, and publishers need to believe that. Find the right creative hook, and you can bring new people in, and sustain it.
Take a look at the Guardians of the Galaxy. That was a mid level book at best, that has become a multi title franchise, with multiple solo titles. The X-Men had become a reprint comic before Claremont took over. Now it is a pillar of the Marvel Universe.
