Bad timing. THANOS IMPERATIVE was being planned right as we were putting SECRET AVENGERS together, and as it ended with Nova and Star-Lord and Thanos all being lost in the Cancerverse, he had to come out of SECRET AVENGERS. Had we known that was going to happen from the get-go, we probably wouldn’t have used him in the series at all–our intention was that he’d be a regular part of the book. But things didn’t work out that way.
