Andy Lanning sat down with fans awhile back and talked about the original plans. It would have been awesome.

I was actually very content with the deaths at the end of the Thanos Imperative because it was one of those noble sacrifice moments. Nova and Star-lord died killing Thanos to stop him from destroying the main universe. It was heroic and clean plus they got a nice statue and the comic inevitability that nobody stays dead forever unless they're uncle Ben or Batman's parents. Except that when Thanos and Star-lord made their returns Nova was nowhere to be found and later when Bendis tried to explain what all went down he turned a heroic sacrifice into "whoops, only one of us died and it wasn't even the villain."

I feel we're treading way off-topic.
