Okay new prediction on where Bendis will land post AvX after reading some spoilers for Assemble #2. Sure seems like he'll be spearheading the Cosmic Scene with Guardians of the Galaxy being the main book.

Also Hulk is written super inconsistently. One minute he is saying stuff like "HE STOLE SHINY THING" and "THERE WAS ARMY" and then when Cap says he is what brought the Avengers together he replies "Don't put that on me."

I like the Zodiac foil in the book, but it's pretty clear that Marvel is just using this title to cross-promote the movie coming out early next month (sooner in Europe), and it probably won't last long after the movie goes to DVD/Bluray.
The inconsistencies in the Hulk are probably the writers trying to write the character the way he exists in the current comic, but also trying to keep him as "dumb Hulk" so the newbies won't be confused by how he's portrayed on the big screen.
If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten in your presence.
I have a digital code for Avenging Spider-Man #6, part one of the Omega Effect Spidey/DD/Punisher crossover. PM me if you want it.

Remender does need to work on not having everything be sad or Pyrrhic victories at the end of stories. I think Uncanny X-Force works well because of what the team's mission statement is and how far they'll go to accomplish their goals, and because it's been arguably the darkest Marvel book out there, and fills that role as the universe's dark book. Secret Avengers can't go down that role, and hopefully that means Remender can't put the screws to the team more than should be allowed. This is why Venom needs to stretch out beyond being just the dark solo hero book after the first year of existence.
Bendis will continue to write Avengers Assemble for the time being and I guess that's where he's putting the Age of Ultron story unless it will be released as an OGN.
Rogue vs. Ms. Marvel!
By the end of this issue, one of these women will change their allegiance.
Hmm. I knew it. Carol's siding with the X-Men.
I also find it interesting that the promo material and solicits are now referring to her as Earth's Mightiest Hero.

Carol should side with the X-Men, they helped her out big time in the past, more so than with the Avengers I would say, even with the drinking problem. She's also one of the people who, if the story wants to be true to history, should be giving advice about Cyclops' team outside of Wolverine. And I guess the solicit spoils how the Schism thing will work out in the event.
Daredevil vs. Psylocke, by Remender, that should be a good, fair fight (Psylocke kills Foggy).
And jebus, Dark Avengers still has the time traveling going on?

So, Thor's fighting the scientist dude from Tabula Rasa on AvX Versus. Interesting.
Also interesting to note that Bunn is co-writing another book (Captain America).

I think the problem with the time-traveling arc, more than anything else, is one of expectations. I think most people, including me, thought it was just going to be an arc. The Thunderbolts make their escape, the rest of the crew tracks them down, the end.
But, it was promoted as the start of a new direction for the book, so I'm not sure why I'm surprised that it's continued for as long as it has.
It is pretty weird that it's carrying over to Dark Avengers, though.

Think so? I think it might be whoever the Phoenix possesses in the issue before, maybe Emma.
I count four arms, and that's the only recent X-Men character I can think of with four.

I'm seeing a long scarf like thing that Emma would wear, or Lady Deathstrike. And we see in the cover next to that on the BC link, Emma's got something going on with the Phoenix, always picking on innocent Cyclops.
Invincible Iron Man sounds like it will get pretty interesting by July. I haven't read the post-Fear Itself issues yet though.
I'm in the same boat. I dropped it after 500, but the fact that he's at that point makes me interested in picking it back up, and it also adds a great deal to everyone's assumption that he might be wrapping this puppy up in time for the end of AvX.

Assemble had a ton of cosmic junk.
Also Hulk is written super inconsistently. One minute he is saying stuff like "HE STOLE SHINY THING" and "THERE WAS ARMY" and then when Cap says he is what brought the Avengers together he replies "Don't put that on me."

Inconsistent writing is inconsistent writing.

Something about that makes it feel a little more meaningful to me, and brings Red Hulk's speech in New Avengers into a new light.
"Don't pick any fights you can't win." Guess someone will.
It's the Amadeus Cho effect all over again
