Nova no more?
So the scifi based Marvel titles like Nova will got binned in favor of Siege, Dark Avengers, Dark Xmen, New Avengers, Dark Daken, Darker Avengers, Dark bla, Dark meh, Blackest blabla, Dark bla f-ing bla...excuse my french
So now that Siege Sales have taken a nosedive Marvel has come up with the bright idea of cancelling every title that doesn't have the name 'Dark' or 'Siege' on the cover and thereby forceilby make fans buy this arc to push Siege sales above DC
Previous victims to this save Siege mentality, save Dark bla bla at all costs include great little titles like WarMachine
while Siege is only at the halfway point; it's as if Marvel itself can't wait for the series to be over yet.
It doesn't help, of course, that the series so far has seemed scattered, rushed and full of events that seem forced in order to help the plot along, and also seems to step on the toes of storylines within many titles it ties in with (Most importantly, Iron Man and Thor, both of which seem slightly out of sync with the series, although Captain America's rebirth was also pushed out of continuity thanks to an extra issue and need to be done before Siege began). Through no real decision of anyone involved, Siege has gained the appearance of an unexpectedly clumsy end to a story arc that's been running for years. The question now may be whether that's enough for fans to jump off the series they've been following, or whether the promise of bright new beginnings with May's Heroic Age will bring them back for more.

from an ign interviewhttp://www.comics.ign.com/articles/107/1074427p1.html"IGN Comics: Guardians and Nova were conspicuously absent from the May solicitations. Are they going on hiatus while Thanos Imperative operates? Can we expect them to return after the storyline resolves?Rosemann: Both Guardians and Nova--the titles--will indeed be on hiatus during The Thanos Imperative
This is just nuts, if we are lucky we will still have a Thanos cosmic title running. Basically all Marvel's cosmic/scifi line is in danger of being canceled because junk like Siege out sold it, but now that Siege sales got flushed and the Siege story flopped
Every other title is getting punished
