Norman Osborn has his list of eight things, and beginning in September with Dark Reign: The List, he's determined to make them happen.
Taking the idea of a "crossover" and turning it on its ear, The List is a series of one-shots by eight different creative teams, each focusing on one of Marvel's heroes or teams as they are affected by Osborn's attempt to cross another item off his to-do list. Teased by Marvel's ad with the title "Iron Patriot Acts" and announced this weekend, The List features the creators that Marvel calls its "Write Stuff" team of up-and-coming writers.
The connected one-shots are purported to "change the course of Dark Reign and the Marvel Universe," coming a little less than a year after the events of Secret Invasion led to Osborn's power play and the beginning of Dark Reign.
The eight The List on shots are:
Avengers - by Brian Bendis and Marko Djurdjevic
Uncanny X-Men - by Matt Fraction and Alan Davis
Secret Warriors - by Jonathan Hickman and Ed McGuniness
Punisher - by Rick Remender and John Romita Jr.
Daredevil - by Andy Diggle and Billy Tan
Wolverine - by Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic
Hulk - by Greg Pak and Ben Oliver
Amazing Spider-Man - by Dan Slott and Adam Kubert
I'm still wondering where they're going with this.
I honestly don't have the time or money to follow Dark Reign and every side issue, so I do the trade paperback thing with big Marvel events. I have the issues involving Deadpool though.
I'm enjoying what I know of it so far.
However, I still think Deadpool needs to start becoming a bigger part of these events. The man is f*cking gold.
