I'm in the same boat.

Fraction had no idea how to correctly characterize the X-Men and I'll never forgive him for what he did to them.

Fractions Thor one shot were great.

Pr agrees.

if Man-Thing doesn't feature prominantly in this, I give up on Marvel

i may give this a try,, but i hope it isn't a huge disappoint

Why doesn't Marvel gives the keys to Ed Brubaker for a big event for once?
(And can we actually go a year without one of these, or are the big two (DC & Marvel) just so addicted to sales bumps that come with them?

That wouldn't be too bad, but I'm not really enjoying his work on Secret Avengers. Its not that bad but I'm a little pissed it couldn't be better.

Parts of it look intresting and parts of it look very unintresting.

Apparently the first issue is 56 pages long. And we get the cover for the first issue.

I'm guessing this is going to be another "Beat down the most powerful guy around to show how dangerous and powerful unknown character is" deal. But this time it'll be done using Mjolnir! Five gets you ten Asgard falls. Again. ermm

apparently there's another villain on the side too, marvel's making another vampire villain, there was a teaser about that guy too.

Maybe Thor badly beat someone up and is taking a nap...he looks so peaceful.

WM getting respect would be good for a change.

I actually want Sin to do something because an event spawning around Red Skull sounds like a good idea and a change of pace from all these invasion stories.

ALPHA FLIGHT!!!!!!!!!

^NO ONE CARES!

LIES!

Also the whole random hammers falling is kind of bleh! We'll see how it plays but evil avatars?

Someone's in deniiaaaall.

Yea, weird. I'd never have guessed you had to be worthy to be evil. Kind of sets the concept back doesn't it? Also weird that those characters out of all the bastards out there would fight for the "serpent" hammers (Sounds like something you'd name your penis tbh)

Yeah like Grey Gargoyle? Did I miss something?

Dunno. Out of all the characters, why him? His a C-list villlain.
