    Same here. Can't remember if it was intentional for Alan Davis to do Prime after he split them apart during Standoff

    Now come to think of it, there needs to be a Spiderman/Wolverine teamup ongoing. Their mini by Jason Aaron was awesome.

    By "Big Three" you mean Wanda, Carol and Okoye, right?

    No. I don't relate well to those characters. Thor being a mythical character probably holds the most interest for me, but that's not enough. Quite honestly, Marvel's take on the Norse and Greek pantheons bores me now. And it looks like instead of focusing on some of the other pantheons, they'd rather just kill off all of the Gods and reboot. Typical Marvel.

    By the by, for what it's worth, I wouldn't buy a book that was just Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman, either. What makes Marvel and DC great aren't the "big three" -- or even the Avengers or Justice League alone. The really fun stuff begins after you bypass those books.

    I can't stand the first two in comicbook so I guess No to the idea and the title "The Big Three"

    With the right creative team, yes. Especially if it was a mini or maxi series on its own free from idiotic crossovers.

    Oh yeah, *much* more than a rebooted 'cosmic Greek gods in the style of Kirby' I'd rather see some development of gods from the Yoruba pantheon (Shango!) or mesoamerican (Tezcatlipoca!) or Egyptian (Sobek! Ptah!) or Japanese (Amaterasu!) gods, or even Greek or Norse gods that they don't traditionally use much, like Bragi, Ullr, Hestia or Artemis.

    Thor Corps should've been Tlaloc, Susanoo, Shango, Rudra, Enlil, and Perun.

    Nah, they're not "relatable."

    Clearly big Three is reference to the Three Warriors; Luis, Kurt & Dave
    Who deserve their own book...

    Ironically, neither was Thor when he was first introduced. It's part of the reason why they chose the Norse mythos. The Greek, Roman, Arthurian, Arabic and Egyptian lores had already been used many times over in some way shape or form. But the Norse gods were hardly ever used for much of anything. Perfect opportunity for Marvel to plant its flag. It all started in Journey to Mystery, but it would take some time before the title of "Thor" was emblazoned on a book. Proof that sometimes what we think is "relatable" is really just a matter of investing in a character until the readership blossoms. I've often said that if Marvel gave up on titles/characters back then just like it does now, there wouldn't be a Marvel Comics.

    Never too many Defenders books.

    (Though I'd prefer all four.)

    Ooh, Enlil! Go with those deep Babylonian cuts!

    I like that they are all storm/thunder/wind/rain gods. That would be one heck of a tempestuous team-up!

    (Gonna make me dig out my Deities & Demigods to see if there are Sumerian or Celtic equivalents...)
