Don’t get too attached to some of your favorite ongoing Marvel comics — even if they’ve only launched within the past six months.

Secret Wars is coming, and Marvel isn’t joking around when it comes to the effects the mega-event is going to have on the Marvel Universe. Everything we know right now will end, and the Battleworld will be all that’s left of the multiverse.

Because of that, Marvel is ending a whole bunch of series. Some won’t come as surprises. For example, it’s been known and publicized that Fantastic Four was wrapping up.

Others will raise some more eyebrows. A lot of noise was made about Thor, All-New Captain America and Superior Iron Man as part of the Avengers NOW! initiative. Alas, it seems none of those books are going to make it to double digits.

How do we know this? Because Comic Book Resources asked Marvel and got the scoop on exactly which books would we ending their runs. Here’s the whole list:

  • All-New Captain America
  • All-New Ghost Rider
  • All-New X-Men
  • Amazing Spider-Man
  • Amazing X-Men
  • Angela: Asgard’s Assassin
  • Avengers
  • Avengers World
  • Captain Marvel
  • Cyclops
  • Deadpool
  • Elektra
  • Fantastic Four
  • Guardians 3000
  • Guardians of the Galaxy
  • Hulk
  • Inhuman
  • Iron Fist: The Living Weapon
  • Legendary Star-Lord
  • Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man
  • New Avengers
  • Nightcrawler
  • Nova
  • Rocket Raccoon
  • Secret Avengers
  • Spider-Man & the X-Men
  • Spider-Man 2099
  • Storm
  • Superior Iron Man
  • Thor
  • Uncanny X-Men
  • Wolverines
  • X-Men

All of this begs an interesting question: what about books that launched during 2015, like All-New Hawkeye, Ant-Man and Howard the Duck? Are they just going to continue on, acting like Secret Wars isn’t happening, with Marvel explaining that the stories happened before the event? Or will they reflect the larger issues facing every character and simply tell tales set on Battleworld?

The big caveat here is that the CBR piece says “some may return in the future in some form or another.” I’d bet heavily on an Amazing Spider-Man series existing after Secret Wars, as well as books for Captain America, Iron Man and Thor. Clearly, though, the Marvel Comics line is going to look pretty different even after the event has come and gone.
