And then he wasn't. Because...of things. That happened. Events. That involved the Abstracts and a giant Galactus Death Engine, and bubbling Lovecraftian horrors from between universes.
Because of things that happened in a dying pocket dimension involving a cosmic cube.

"So...so when you're from, Nita and my brother haven't come back to Earth from space yet, right? I mean, otherwise they would've told you how I was doing. Chris knew 'Nita was back and planned on telling you guys so I figure that's why you're not surprised about that..."
After Chris had been injured fighting the Cancerverse version of Quasar, Rich'd left him behind while he'd gone off to join everyone in space to face off against the monsters beyond the Fault. He figured Chris had passed word to the others about 'Nita so they knew the good news.
That meant it would've taken someone else telling them all he was dead. He could see Nita and Robbie staying up there for a while after he was gone, especially since Nita was supposed to be dead back home, and Robbie might have been trying to help the Novas get resettled somewhere or something.
Or just trying to avoid having to bring the news to his parents.
