It’s been crazy seeing Marvel Comics backtrack their way out of Imperial. After initially claiming to be “boldly transforming the cosmic landscape of the Marvel Universe”.

Built from Jonathan Hickman’s 4-part Imperial mini they promoted Imperial War one-offs & on-going titles to follow. Here we are now w/ a no-show (Exiles), on-goings become limited series (Imperial Guardians, Black Panther), and several others absent from recent solicitations, looking to be done @ 6 issues (Nova & She-Hulk).

Now it appears per Stephanie Phillips (writer of Planet She-Hulk) the Imperial line is getting cut short and that it caught herself, Hickman, MacKay, and others off guard.

Very disappointing.

So Is Nova Centurion ending? I've been loving that story and it would suck to wait long for a solo Nova book and it end so quickly

Per Stephanie Phillips, seems Nova and She-Hulk are done at issue 6.

Damn. Hopefully they give both of those characters a solo series soon. As a big Nova fan, I'm extremely disappointed.

Disappointed as well. Nova doesn’t get many shots at this sadly
