Marvel 2008?

I have read a few books on the new "Initiative" . Ign keeps stating, that several of the books are subtly referencing an event in 2008. What are they talking about?

ANOTHER event?!?? Good god all these constant cross overs marvel are making are only degenerating the value of them. They dont have a big impact more than a few issues later.

bump

I hope we find out what the villains were all doing during Civil War and so maybe they cause chaos in 2008?!!! 😱

It's most likely the magic event they mentioned a few months back.

Another one so fast? I'm not even finished with Civil War yet and soon World War Hulk is coming.

Naw thats the arcana event that the writer on Sensational was working on. That's been reference in Nightcrawler, Sensational Spider-Man etc.

This new event supposedly will springboard/be set up off of the last page of New Avengers 31.

Thoroughly sick of "events."

Its not just them, DC had WW3, then the very next week started Amazon's attack.

Yeah, it's not THAT long since we had Infinite Crisis and Decimation as well.

WW3 was more like a spin-off of 52. It was optional to buy if you want to see more fights. At $2.50 it was tempting. Haven't read Amazon Attack....just the name of the writer alone keeps me away.

Yeah it was more of a mini event.
Cool for a one day thing though.
The impace of all of them hittign at once was cool.

DC doesn't do giant events quite as often as Marvel, but it seems to be picking up.

Just around the same time period from IC to now...
Marvel had House of M/Decimation, Annihilation, Civil War, and now WWH, though it seems mostly self contained thus far.

The 'Initiative' is just a fall-back from CW, when a fight that big happens the winner has to do something.There are 50 points only 2 of which are known.

42.The Neg-zone Prison
and
?.The 50 state initative

The 50 state initative is the idea of getting a superhero team in each state.

I think the events they're referencing may have something to do that will make heroe's the way they used to be.

Add cleaning up SHIELD as one of those 40 ideas. Tony mentioned it at the end of CW 7.

I want to see what the "event" is or entails first before I make any judgements.

I'm still syked for Countdown. w00tw00t But the marvel events are getting obnoxious. We all know WWH will be a wank fest of epic proportions. I'm not touching Arcana simply because I utterly despite Scarlet ***** and want her to die. (Even though Black Knight is kickass.......) Initiative will probably suck, Stark is a douche.

You know what I want for an event? Nick Fury to come back kicking ass, taking names, and throwing Stark and Maria Hill off the SHIELD helicarrier. 😈

I'm not sure the cleaning up of SHIELD is complete. The conversation between Stark and Ms Marvel in mighty avengers #1 suggests that there are still hidden enemies and their conversation ends with Tony looking troubled and on the panel behind him the word SHIELD is written.......
