I've only heard it in an interview with Waid by Tucker Stone. http://www.comixology.com/articles/482/W...-Mark-Waid
And even there it's not very specific. Just that Martin is going off to do creator owned work. It also seems like they'll keep doing the three issues artist shifts, just they don't now who'll replace Martin.

It's a great interview though.

Well, good for him. I can't wait to see the creator owned stuff he does.

Man, I really hate to see him go, but I'm sure whatever he does will be spectacular.

I know he and Paolo Rivera have pretty similar styles, but for reasons I can't exactly pin down, Marcos Martin just stands a few steps above in my book.

Man, this really is a great interview.

Good bye, Moon Knight. You were a good book, too.

Why are all the good books ending while fucking Deadpool is still going? I like Deadpool, but the recent run has been terrible.

Maybe because Deadpool is selling more copies than Moon Knight? Quality doesn't save books. If it did, we'd still be reading Thor: the Mighty Avenger, Nextwave, Xombi, etcetcetc.

You didn't have to tell it like it is, Marge!

CHOO CHOO!

According to Marvel’s October solicitations, which went live this morning, the month will mark the conclusions of Captain America, Fantastic Four, FF, Incredible Hulk, Invincible Iron Man, New Mutants, The Mighty Thor, Uncanny X-Men and X-Men Legacy.

Man, this "totally not a reboot" thing is sounding more like a reboot.
