Well, if Monica gets to be named the goddess of light as the replacement for (whoever in the pantheon that was bumped off), that would be a cool development, to me..

I think in Greek mythology the god of light is Apollo.

Wakandans called Monica a goddess back in the day, so ya never know.

The preview implies that she might be turning the Greek Gods into servants rather than killing them. So they might stick around.

Either way, I hope Ares pops up again sooner or later.

I really like Nyx's design. Also, it seems kinda odd that the Olypian's were defeated so easily let alone Zeus of all people.

Zeus is much weaker than Nyx in mythology so I guess they took it from there.

that's true, I just hope at some point that the greek gods recover, I dont enjoy seeing huge chunk of marvel universe wiped away like this, soon they are going to run out of stuff to kill

Norse Gods are next on the list.

it's Aaron thing to do.

Aaron's Thor run won't be continuing very long beyond War of the Realms.

Zeus is much weaker than Nyx in mythology so I guess they took it from there.

“Great Jove, awaking, shook the blest abodes
With rising wrath, and tumbled gods on gods;
Me chief he sought, and from the realms on high
Had hurl’d indignant to the nether sky,
But gentle Night, to whom I fled for aid,
(The friend of earth and heaven,) her wings display’d;
Impower’d the wrath of gods and men to tame,
Even Jove revered the venerable dame.”
~Homer, The Iliad, Book XIV

The above passage is, of course, Hypnos the god of slumber -- and one of her sons -- recounting to Hera how it was none other than Nyx ("gentle Night") who saved him from the ass kicking that Zeus ("Jove") was about to give him. Nyx is the perfect villain for this or any story. Although in truth, I find it difficult to consider her evil in the classic sense. She is the daughter of Chaos, and one of the few primordial beings to whom both men and gods alike were subject. She is all powerful and truly eternal (there is a mythical telling or two where she supposedly chained Kronos -- the personification of Time -- to her wall). Nothing she does should be perceived in simple terms of good and evil. It will be interesting to see Waid and Ewing's endgame.

Glad there’s no mention of Ares here. Hopefully he may appear but we’ll see.

There’s something about Voyager that I really, really like and I’m not even sure what it is. Hope she’s a constant recurring character when it comes to Avengers. She’s almost like a modern version of what Vision began as.

Ares really is such a glaring ommision though. You'd think he would have made Voyagers list. Granted her list might have been cut short by Hercules wanting to rush to Olympus but still...

There’s still chance for him to apppear. Or at least chance for a passing comment that explains why he isn’t there.

Since Nyx just seemed to appear on Olympus itself only the Gods who were there may have been in the firing line. This would mean that Pluto and Persephone could have survived due to being in the Underworld and last I checked wasnt Ares apart of the Champions of Europe and so may have not been there either.

interesting.

considering that Thor, Odin and pretty much everything in their mythos is ruined (to quote my friend War of the Realms = The Official Marvel Asgardian Parody), they should delve more in Greek or Roman mythology.
