I want Scott Summers to walk up to Wanda when this is all over and ask her to bring back all the mutants.
She should say no.
Then I want the X-Men to declare war on Wanda and the Avengers.
hahaha what the fuck
What's so funny?
Think about it, this woman depowered all but a few mutants in the world. She did what many X-Men villains wanted to do. And succeeded. Every time one of those villains tried this shit, someone (like Beast or Rogue) sympathized until another X-person gives them the verbal smack down, pages worth of lecture to reinforce the point that diversity and progress is good.
The X-Men would not take genocide lying down. It was different when it was assumed Wanda was dead, but shit would go down if she's seen chatting on television. Dozens of former mutants fell from the goddamn sky on M-Day. The fallout saw many more hunted down by anti-mutant extremists. Surely it is within reason that there will be repercussions for this. Especially if Wanda flat out refused to do something about it.
So, I just thought of something!
Venom is Spiderman on Norman's Avengers team as far as the public is concerned right? But with the Spider-tracer killings going on in ASM, the public also thinks Spiderman is a serial killer. So wouldn't it look like Norman is employing a known serial killer on the Avengers?
You're questioning that and not the fact that people believe Spider-Man has started killing people and conveniently leaving spider-themed trackers behind?

It's a boring storyline, and I wish it would just end already.
Everything about Spider-Man has been boring lately. No real classic villains and a lot of politics and Harry drama with bullshit excuses and revisions.
What do people think of Mighty Avengers? I like the newer slant on Pym's powers (he's basically MacGuyver now) but I HATED the fucking pep talk they gave him that basically amounted to showing him that he doesn't suck quite as much as some other people.
Also, how the hell is the Hulk going to stay on a team?
I think it was horrible. I hated the story, I hated the artwork and I think it should be canceled. :P

I didn't like how Hulk appears to be drawn more like Hunchback of Notre Dame Hulk. After WWH-Hulk, its hard to go back to lumbering, ugly thing.
How the hell did he even escape that bunker and be allowed to wander the world without the full force of heroics coming down on him?

I don't know if Loeb explained that, and I'm not willing to read to find out

The Spider-Tracer Killer storyline is going to be wrapped up in the next couple months I'm pretty sure.
Certainly seems that way, though I'd like to see it done in two more issues along with the election plot.
It makes no sense at all to focus on a mayoral race when a more important character like Norman Osborn has been appointed to a more important position than mayor.

You're questioning plot holes in Spiderman after they decided to retcon (Shut up it was a retcon) the past 20 or so years of continuity? I guess I just expect them now.

Just assume Spidey was cleared, since that arc is probably not only pre-DR but pre-SI.
Speaking of WWH, based on reading the solicits for War Machine and the bit from New Nation, it seems to be going the same plot path as Planet Hulk did. Hul... Rhodey is dropped on the planet from space, fucks up some bad guys, fights a super-powered opponent sent to kill him, befriends that opponent by earning his respect, teams up with super and fucks up even more bad guy shit. Somehow I can't quite buy that
I've been thinking about it, and Skrulls vs. Power Pack may have been one of my favorite SI tie-ins. It's funny because before I read it I was thinking, "Power Pack? Aren't they the comic that like five people read, but love?" But I wanted to read all of the SI material, so I sat down and read them all in one sitting. And something funny happened. I liked it. I was funny (especially the scenes with the Skrulls impersonating the kids as they dealt with the PP's parents), it was interesting and had good pacing, it had a nice mystery and puzzle-solving, and it had a much more satisfying ending than, say, something written by another writer whose work I otherwise love *cough*Jason Aaron*cough*.
Also, speaking of Brubaker maybe writing an espionage comic featuring Carol, I wonder if Black Widow's team-ups with Cap in his comic will eventually bring her into the fold of NA. Also, I just realized something about NA #50. Danny Rand quit the team, citing personal reasons (basically, the entirety of the crazy shit he's faced in IIF). So why is he in a fight scene in NA #50 drawn by David Aja?
Aside from some trivial factual errors (really just one: AFO flies out of Andrews AFB because otherwise Dulles could not function according to the whims of presidential flight), it was pretty cool. I totally buy what Norman has done, and I am fully in accordance with the idea that as insane and dangerous as he is that he could get and has the job he does. I am loving the new team, also. Ant-Man and Yelena are going to make an interesting duo.
I tried to read Mighty Avengers again today and I just can't.
the dialogue is soooo stiff. I also think he's trying too hard to convince me Hank Pym is cool. While I think that's a noble enough endeavor, it's something that you need to be subtle and take your time with.
Hammering it in my face with in the first issue is not going to convince me, because despite the author's preferences... I don't think Hank Pym is cool. His worth has to be proven, and it can't be rushed.
And seeing as how Slott plans to have Jocasta yell at the reader (well, not the reader, but the characters that don't like him) about how Hank Pym is cool... Well seems pretty ham handed to me.
This is probably the wrong place to put this, but I can't remember what thread someone linked that Captain Britain is getting canceled, so. It's not.
Edit: I was apparently late to the parade and it was posted in the X-thread. Anyways.
I agree that "stiff" is a great word to describe Mighty Avengers. I wonder if Hank Pym has dignity or coolness in his little magic Maguyver pen thing, because if not, he's pretty worthless.
I'm hoping it was just Slott getting into the wing of things, and it gets better.
You guys have to give it a chance, I guess. Something similar happened with Pym to (imo) great results in Byrne's run of WEST COAST AVENGERS (though Slott's version seems a bit cocky - then again, Slott's version has just spent who-knows-how-long under Skrull lock-and-key).
Pham's art did not do much for me, though - some of his faces and bodies looked really....puffy, I guess I'd say.

I especially got the puffy thing from Wanda.
I don't know. I didn't hate Pym in Initiative, and Mighty, so I guess it was just kind of a bleh when he comes out going "I'm not helping you, woe as me!"

I still think that Hank works better as a support character than as an actual hero. I can buy him as the know-it-all jerk who invents stuff but i can't see him actually doing anything heroic.

Yes but two out of five things he invents becomes evil and tries to destroy the world. I'm halfway convinced that most of the stuff that happens in 616 has been staged to distract Hank Pym from creating any more abominations. God save us when he makes inventing a full-time job.
You can't just rehabilitate a character overnight. It took years for Bendis to take Luke Cage from a guy in a yellow shirt and tiara asking doom for his money to a character people actually care about.
And sublety has never really been Slott's strong suit

Slott did a fair job rehabilitating She-Hulk.
I agree that he's off to a rough start, but I don't think he's entirely unequal to the task.
