Summary: Like everyone could guess, Hickman was gonna leave the book and another writer was planned to jump on after #24 issues But marvel changed their minds. Marvel now sees value in making trade paper bags be 24 issues to be prestige-format books instead of numbered volumes

It ended bit that wasn’t a pet project like Ultimate. He just wanted to write some cosmic issues and wiped his hands of it after.
