    So, question about Siege. Is it set before Asgard moves to Latveria, or after the present Thor storyline plays out and it presumably moves back? Has there been any sort of word about how it slots into the Thor timeline? I seem to have missed the explanation.

    Asgard is in Oklahoma. The people who lived in Asgard are in Latveria.

    Regarding the Asgardians living in Latveria, that is being explained in the current Thor book...
    After Balder found out Doom is killing and experimenting on Asgardians he's rightfully going to get the fuck out of there but not before confronting Doom about it.

    The storyline ends at the end of this month and the Siege Thor tie-in starts next month.

    New Luke Cage mini by Arcudi and Canete

    Arcudi's Superman Wednesday Comics was way bad, Canete's art is way good. What will the result be?

    Arcudi's Doom Patrol and Major Bummer were awesome, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially with Canete doing the art.

    I wish Marvel could do more black and white books and have them sell well, but nobody buys b&w comics anymore.

    One of my favorite series, Elfquest, is only available now in B&W format. Which is a shame, because I think the colorized versions (which I own) are absolutely gorgeous.

    So I figure instead of cloggin up the end of dark regin thread, I would as for speculation on the new avengers team here.
    So Far we got

    11152storystory_full-5129884..jpg11152storystory_full-5302284..jpg
    Now Thor is a gimme, I'm guessing we'll get Spidey too. I want to say with Pym and Mockingbird / Jessica Jones being the others.

    The team needs a heavy hitter, which will be Thor. Apart from that I think Spidey will be in there which I'm not too happy about but whatever, and probably some more female characters to balance out the team look and interaction. Black Widow maybe?

    That cover looks so much like a Hellboy-themed issue of BPRD it hurts.

    Does Cage even wear giant metal gauntlets at all?

    Yeah, with Cap on the team and Black Widow in Iron Man II, I think we'll see her on the team.

    Not pumped about Cage being, by all appearances, out. He's really come into his own as a quasi-leader of the Avengers. I agree re: Spidey, and I think that we'll also see Ms. Marvel and Black Widow on the team.

    What do you think the odds are of marketing over at Marvel putting Sentry on one of these posters and squashing all the speculation on how Siege ends?

    I think if Sentry survived, they would totally do that.

    I think a sane Rob Reynolds trying desperately to atone for past fuck-ups would be great. Honestly though I don't really see it. Thor, Cap, Iron Man, Spider-Woman, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Ms Marvel is my call, maybe Mockingbird though that does make the team eight rather than the traditional seven.

    Why do people like Ms. Marvel? She's just awful and she's going to ruin any Avengers team she is on. Only good thing she ever did was give Rogue her powers for the 90's.

    I liked her better in House of M. Her series started off pushing her towards being more like that, but quickly went off the rails. It had Nextwave personality-Aaron Stack in it though, so was fun for a time.

    Actually I wish Iron Fist would be in the Avengers. Or at least something, he's a proper heavy hitter these days (punched an exploding train to death, punched a Helicarrier, punched a hole in the floor... he love the punchy punchy).

    Well, if the rumors of a new Heroes for Hire team are true, he's guaranteed to be there.

    Sure, she's irritating as hell and poorly characterised. But hey...

    AWW YEAH!!!

    Seriously though she's not that bad and has a lot of potential. Also she's a heavy hitter with energy powers and a cool costume so she'll look good on the page, and I really think that marvel should promote their female superheroes. Maybe if she gets some quality Avengers time and they give her a decent writer she could pull off a solo series one day and that would be great. I want to like her, it's just that her ongoing was a horrible mess.
