Korvac Saga TPB question

I remember ordering the new edition of the Korvac Saga when it was solicited a few months ago. I was just flipping through the new Previews order booklet and it says it's canceled. Will it be resolicited? After buying and reading the Avengers/Defenders War, the Celestial Madonna, and the Life and Death of Captain Marvel, I was jazzed for this one. Anyone hear of its status?

Marvel seems to have refocused its limited TPB resources on recent comics, such as Bendis's Daredevil, JMS's Spider-Man and Morrison's X-Men. As a result, projects like the Essentials and the Korvac Saga seem to have fallen by the wayside. Coupled with the fact that the immediate impetus for the Korvac Saga TPB was the fact that Jim Shooter was doing a sequel, and that sequel has been cancelled, I doubt we'll see it any time soon.

This is a damned shame, and I hope Marvel gets the resources to start outting out TPBs of older materials. I understand why Marvel thinks it's to their benefit to focus on recent books, but I'd rather read the Korvac Saga, the Essential Tomb of Dracula, or Starlin's Warlock than most of their TPBs of 21st century stuff.

I believe it is to be resolicited. Now that it no longer needs to coincide with Starlin's now-defunct Avengers project, they can give precedence to other books. (like Dardevil stuff to coincide with the movie)

What are your sources?

I thought someone had asked Tom Brevoort on the Avengers Message Board. It might have been a while ago.

Just a mention here that the Korvac Saga was presented in TPB form (Assuming you mean Avengers 167-177 or so) YEARS ago. You might be able to track down a used copy at a bookstore or on eBay.
