The post Civil War New Avengers lineup...

Hmmm.... 😱 I got it! The twist will be...

Hulk (who was never in space... that... that was clone?) will be revealed to be the one to have orchestrated the Standford incident, knowing full well that it would plunge the marvel universe into a Civil War. He did it so he could seize control of Stark Industries with a hostile take over while everyone is distracted. Paving the way to WW Hulk, which is in fact the hilarious hijinks of the Hulk as he tries to be the CEO of Stark Industries... while juggling his sex life of course. 😉

🤨 ....Right.Anyway the real twist will be stark initiated all of this for one reason alone,So he could get some cool scars to show wasp because...you know...Chicks dig scars and it would be just like that b*tch wasp to be behind the deaths of hundreds...stupid vile wasp.

Ah, so you read Ghost Rider #3 too? Wasn't it awesome?

As for having to meditate, I can deal with it. Meditation goes back to his pre-sorcerer supreme days where he had to boost himself with chants and such. It's fine.

I've read it and cringed 😮

Well if your fine with it, then I'm ok.

oddly enough, in regards to the Civil War, I'm actually expecting Marvel to do it really, really well

I don't know why I feel that way, but for some reason I just think it's going to be a great ending.

With the new new Avengers... honestly not anything interesting unless the characters behind the masks are really cool... aka ronin... but still I think it will be a decent direction to take the Avengers... I like the idea of two teams, one government sanctioned, approved, with funding from SHIELD and so on... and one operating underground, doing good where it can and attempting to bring the Marvel Universe back to where it needs to be... and to be honest, I would expect all of these characters to be a part of that

*sigh* How many times have I explained it? Of course they went up as after the uproar people wanted to know what happened. Joe Q. and Bendis made direct comments about this after 16. Why would they pick up an issue which really didn't even showcase them? Most even wanted to bycott it, and it sucked with all the splash pages anyways.

Exactly. If Joey Q and Bendis made the comments after issue 16 (which did suck btw) then why did sales drop for 17 and 18 if people were so curious about what happened to Alpha Flight? Why wasn't it until the close of the arc (long after those Alpha Flight comments by editorial was made) did sales then pick up? Answer: Alpha Flight interested had nothing to do with 19 nd 20 numbers. Some people were actually interested in the storyline.

I can see the point your trying to make here. Sales rose from 15 to 16. That I attribute to AF interest. There were black and white preview pages showing Alpha Flight in that issue from the end of the Ronin arc. There was Bendis going around saying this is Alpha Flight's last battle. There were solicitations to corroborate what he was saying so as a result sales for the book rose. Immediately after there was an outcry and Joe made his comments that this wasn't the end. Yet, sales for 17 dropped. Sales for 18 dropped. But near the arc's conclusion sales picked up again? Now I ask you again, why would fans so interested in AF wait months after Quesada's announcement to pick up the book to find out Alpha Flight's fate? Why skip the next too consecutive issues? Doesn't it make sense to pick up the books immediately post-death to see if there's any news?

I don't know. I honestly don't think we'll see a cop out (like Tony waking up and finding Cap in the shower or something)

One day i was walking down the street and i saw your momma walkin down the street with a pig underneath her arm,I asked "where did you get that" and the pig says "i won her in a raffle"

So you all know that inevitably there's going to be some confrontations between the New Avengers and the Mighty Avengers.

Probably, but with the firepower the Mighty Avengers got packing I don't see how the New Avengers can match them without the element of surprise and a plot device or one bad mo fo of a spell from Strange

Dr. Strange has no business even being on the Avengers - he should stay solo.

It seems like the recent line-ups are only composed of characters to sell books. 👇

Bendis interview about the team...

Lots of art.

edit: nevermind.

Though interesting news about the Hood. The way his mini ended and his appearance in beyond I sort of hoped he was heading in the antihero route.

Do you know how many Starbucks are in New York?

When you think about it, it's actually a good idea. 😂

Just seems kinda cheesy... like product placement... I wonder if they're getting endorsement money.

You just said 16 sold the least out of the series, so how could 17 and 18 go down? Make up your mind. 19 and 20 still had something to do with Alpha Flight as the Collective ark was not over. Actually it did as members of alphawave continued to read as we were told to stay with the book directly by Bendis and Joe Q.

They were boycotting it. hell I even did until I was told by Bendis on his board to stay with the book and Joe Q said the same and that "not all of Alpha Flight were killed". Also very simple why some would skip ahead...they just wanted to know what happened and know the end of the ark and the follow up. However, there wasn't any follow up at all expect Wolverine's brief comment about the team to Micheal.

Did anyone notice the page where Dr. Strange is stabbed by Echo? 😐

Its already begun and the book isn't even out for gods sake 🤨

Wait, wtf is coming out of Strange's hands? Is that....is that friggin' wind?

You sonsabitches....I hope you die.

p.s I really hope cap dies. It'd be an awesome reason for the team to continue.
