    secret connection between the Seven Cities of Heaven and the Phoenix? my brain hurts, but in a good way.

    I say again, the Phoenix is a chinese mythological counterpart to the Dragon. If Shao-Lou is an aspect or merely one name for a cosmic Dragon Force, who has been described as the infinitely powerful celestial Dragon (and let's be fair, that's what Shao-Lou totally should be), then the Phoenix force could easily be the balancing side to that.

    Thus why the Phoenix hosts have always had problems before, and thus why Danny has not unlocked the true power of Shao-Lou, because both sides need the other to balance them out, and thus why Danny becomes the Immortal Iron Phoenix, with both the Phoenix and Dragon forces as the source of his now ramped up mystical Kung Fu powers.

    And that, my friends, would be completely fucking awesome.

    Steve McNiven doing art chores makes me happy. Speaking of great artists when is Immomen getting another title? He was the only "event" comic artist to ever get the main story out on time, even if I think what Leinil Francis Yu did on Secret Avengers was more impressive.

    Holy shit he can't catch a break.

    Well It's going to be a play on the whole "Nothing can stop the Juggernaut" storyline.

    Seriously though

    At least Protector is doing something

    And hey if he beat up Thor that would be cool

    On the whole I think AvX looks like it is going to be pretty great

    Better than Fear Itself (my God Fear Itself was shit)

    I don't think it was shit

    it wasn't good no

    but I have read worse event books

    AvX looks much better, yes.

    Fear Itself was a good idea for a Thor maxi-arc. A great idea, even

    Turning it into a big event was a fucking stupid move

    Adding all that bullshit with the Nazis and Sin and ugh no-one cares

    Also the tie-ins were AWFUL

    overall I wish it had not happened

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Also whoa wait McNiven is writing the Gambit vs. Steve story?

    huh

    that is actually a pretty smart way to let an artist get his feet wet writing

    Oh I mean just the main book

    yeah 90% of its tie-ins were pointless and dragged down the titles they appeared in

    However it does seem like they learned a lesson with Fear Itself

    AvX shows that, I think.

    Which is good! And a lot of the AvX stuff seems very interesting and fun, plus the central thrust seems organically grown from the recent years in X-Men, with the Avengers in a good situation to oppose them. So it all feels right and natural.

  • BlankZoeBlankZoe Registered User regular
    Yeah, FI was anything but natural

    HEY GUESS WHAT ODIN HAS A BROTHER AND ALSO THERE ARE A WHOLE BUNCH OF HAMMERS AS POWERFUL AS MJOLNIR AND ALSO A FAIRLY LARGE CULT OF IMMORTAL NAZIS IN ANTARCTICA

    YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT?

    I thought they already learned that lesson when Siege came out.

    Van Lente and Alves to make new Black Widow mini

    That's the fourth or fifth Black Widow series in as many years, and they don't really sell, even with a movie lead-in.

  • SolarSolar Registered User regular
    A new Black Widow mini?

    Light the @Arivia signal!

  • AriviaArivia I Like A Challenge Earth-1Registered User regular
    Yes! Thank you Solar this has me excited now they just need to bring Mystique back.

    I am not averse to them bringing mystique back as well, but I probably wouldn't buy a Mystique mini

    Might pick up this Black Widow series though since it is FVL

    I need more of the trades from the Mystique ongoing

    so good

    so fucking good

    the part of me that likes Judith Butler screams in happiness when I read that stuff

  • HenslerHensler Registered User regular
    Wolverine #300 is in-continuity, right? Because Mystique was brought back in there just last month. I think it's impossible to kill her.

    I always liked the stories about when Mystique was on the government X-Factor team, but I really liked that series in general.

  • initiatefailureinitiatefailure Registered User regular
    wow I've been out of it for too long. I thought hope was a baby and I vaguely remember cable trying to take her back to the future. I'm guessing she came back from the future as a teenager?
