I wonder if that's going to be one of those connecting covers that they turn into a poster

[Digifiend]

Probably. Maybe another will feature the Fantastic Four, another will have Hulkling, and another will have the current Avengers?

Only Ewing is crazy but also based enough to make all the Mantis and plant-fucking stuff important again just so it'll be less painful to reread now.

[Drops Of Venus]

Looks like each teaser is for one of the stories that inspired the event. Hopefully we'll get one for Hulkling/Young Avengers!

[kalai]

I mean if Celestial Madonna saga is important,
then Sequoia will be part of this story, the space messiah thing.
Hasn't seen the guy since Celestial Quest.
Which also means Cotati is the villain of the story I guess?

[Michael Watkins]

meh. plant people ruin everything. ask Iron Fist.

[PlatinumThorns]

Looks like Wolverine and maybe more mutants will have something to do in this event.

also explains why Al Ewing met up with Hickman a while ago

[Digifiend]

Wolverine may just be there because he IS a former Avenger. Doesn't mean the X-Men as a whole are involved. The FCBD solicit says they'll have their own event going on.

[stingray]

Hope they use the Swordsman in this. He and Rita Demara YJ were left alive at the end of Chaos War, but they haven't been seen since. Mantis reaction to him being alive would be interesting to say the least.

[HipHopAvenger]

He'll probably use his daughter Swordswoman

That’s just a callback to Raksor and Bel-Dann’s first appearance in the Dark Phoenix Saga.

Hope they use the Swordsman in this. He and Rita Demara YJ were left alive at the end of Chaos War, but they haven't been seen since. Mantis reaction to him being alive would be interesting to say the least.

Marvel’s confirmed they went back to being dead at the end of Chaos War, just like almost everyone else except Alpha Flight because of their dealings with the Great Beasts.

[Sutekh]

Ooh, Quicksilver is on one of those covers. He's been MIA for awhile, hasn't he?

[gurkle]

Yes, he has, but that's just a flashback cover to the Kree-Skrull War - we don't know yet if the modern versions of these characters will be in this event.

I'd like them to be, but logically I know it'll probably just be Aaron's lineup.
