THANOS IGNITES!

Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and Marvel Editor Bill Rosemann interviews on The Thanos Imperative: Igntion are up at:

Marvel.com: Issuing the Thanos Imperative

Newsarama: DnA Bring Back the God of Death in "The Thanos Imperative"

CBR: DnA Issue "The Thanos Imperative"

At the above CBR interview, Editor Bill Rosemann mentions Nova and GoTG are on hiatus:

Both "Nova" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" will both be going on hiatus in April, with all the action zooming right into "The Thanos Imperative: Ignition" in May, and then the six-issue saga in June. DnA are the masters at crafting stories that both build upon years of character development and also stand on their own - providing you all the "101" info you need to enjoy the adventure. So all you cash-strapped readers rejoice - whether you've read "Annihilation," "Conquest," "War of Kings," "Nova" and "Guardians of the Galaxy" - or whether you're just a fan who digs characters like Thanos and Surfer - you can just pick up "The Thanos Imperative" and enjoy a self-contained, satisfying, galaxy-rocking adventure."

This sounds a "bit" different than what Marvel Assistant Editor answered in a forum post as Editor Bill Rosemann makes it sound as if the two cosmic mainstays are on hiatus throughout the six issue Thanos series.

When asked for comment, Marvel didn't give a direct reply.

Noteworthy via Marvel Editor Bill Rosemann:

"Both Guardians and Nova--the titles--will indeed be on hiatus during The Thanos Imperative…but the characters themselves will be seizing the spotlight! As for their return…well, that depends on if anything and anyone survives! "

There you have it, on "hiatus" for seven months. Stay tuned to Cosmic Book News as more news becomes available - because there will be more news.
