This is probably setting up Phase 6.

Hickman is coming back to kill the game once again, kneel before the charts!
Reading List (Super behind but reading them nonetheless):
DC: Currently figuring that out
Marvel: Read above
Image: Killadelphia, Nightmare Blog
Other: The Antagonist, Something is Killing the Children, Avatar: TLAB
Manga: My Hero Academia, MHA: Vigilanties, Soul Eater: the Perfect Edition, Berserk, Hunter X Hunter, Witch Hat Atelier, Kaiju No. 8
Hickman is absolutely one of the best comic writers of all time -
but the question with his work is always:
Will he actually finish the story?
He has so many unfinished, halfbaked works out there - its becoming a pattern.
Currently Reading:
Milligan's Shade the Changing Man, Vertigo Hellblazer trades, Love and Rockets TPBs, Stray Bullets TPBs, Ellis' The Wildstorm
Namor the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's oldest character, will have been published for 85 years in 2024. So where's my GOOD Namor anniversary ongoing, Marvel?
Im not so sure.
Look - Hickman is in my personal top 3 comic writers of all time following Morrison and Ellis - but the guy has a problem finishing stories.
Lets look at just the books ive followed:
Shield - issues #1-10 came out by 2011. It took 7 years to "finish" with issues 11-12 in 2018. It seemed to wrap up incredibly quickly and disappointingly from what was originally planned.
Manhattan Projects -seemingly abandoned with no clear ending.
Black Monday Murders - stuck on vol 2 in limbo since 2016. supposedly vol 3 might come out one of these days.
Xmen -say what you will about editorial and other writers on the line, but everyone knows he had far more planned than what was actually released.
Frontier -in 2016 this was hyped and advertised in many other comics and articles of the time. It was even solicited up to issue 4. It got cancelled and never popped back up.
Decorum - this was supposed to be much longer than the 8 issues that released.
Theres a pattern there - and its not a good one.
On the flipside - I consider Hickman's FF4, Avengers/Secret Wars, East of West to be masterclass of the medium. All complete (incredible) stories. So the guy is definitely capable.

This was Marvel's best announcement at SDCC.
Guardians of the Galaxy, it’s ripe for a big team and Ewing did a great job setting them up as avengers in space.
Final film of the original team next year but rumours of a new team later down the line, means the brand will be around for a while yet.
As far as I know Hickman doesn't have any unfinished Marvel project so I can't say it is applicable.
