So the three major parties are the mighty avengers the old villains returning, and the new enemies. We know the cortex corporation is looking for a way to market and sell super powers, and we know the deathwalkers are capable of turning people into were animals, so I think we'll see them cross paths soon. In fact both of them are on the cover for Augusts Mighty Avengers issue.


    I also think Monica is due to lose in a big way. Ewing has had her tearing up every villain. I wouldnt be surprised to see Adam's son return, probably hired by cortex, as he was the only one that has been able to stop her. Also her weakness to magic will probably be brought up again.
    Though Monica has come off fairly uber, she's also lost to Proxima and was on the ropes Werewolf monster. So I'm not sure she's necessarily been set up for a big loss. She's already had a few checks in the loss column.

    Proxima was more for plot. If you look at every villain they've beaten, Monica was usually directly responsible or involved in some form of fashion, save for the were-monster. Looking at the rest of the team, they really haven't done much yet. In order for the threat to be worthy of the team, it's almost necessary that they take out Blue Marvel and Monica first.

    OK I don't know what this might really mean, I have been to three different shops and Mighty had sold out. Hopefully it can build some good momentum for the book.

    Did anyone read the Deadpool issue mentioned? I don't read Deadpool, but I'm curious as to what exactly Blade was up to there.

    Blade was invited to Deadpool's wedding after he helped him out during the Gauntlet series against Dracula. Deadpool is surprised to see Blade at his wedding and says he's happy that he received his invitation. Blade looks at him confused and says he didn't even know he was invited and that he's there to hunt, then he wanders off into the crowd.

    Awesome! Thank you.

    I was full curious, and even went into the comic shoppe this afternoon to grab the wedding issue. He was sold out though.

    Blade fighting Blazikens. What else needs to be said? Would Blade be a Dark/Fighting type???

    That'd be too easy.

    Besides Monica has been throwing shade at Blade each chance he got. She obviously isn't fond of him and likely wouldn't do him any solids.

    Another great issue, Ewing can do no wrong at the minute. I really, really want to see that Were Honey-Badger!

    So, I know Ulana kinda calmed him down, especially with the baby stuff, but I really want to see Adam go on to play a part in the main Original Sin book. " And whoever it is --I'm going to make sure they pay for what they did to my friend." Even if he just shows up for the fight at the end and opens up a can of whoop-ass on the big bad. Be a good way to introduce/announce him to the rest of the MU/readers.

    mini-synopsis:

    - Blade fights were-roosters
    - Gets taken down in a bloody way
    - Flash to Blue Marvel on the moon grieving with Uatu's wife (so well done) BM promises to find the killer
    - Flash to rest of the team (Falcon, Spectrum, and Cage) fighting Mindless Ones
    - Spectrum takes it down and Cage vows that they'll find who took down Uatu
    - Uatu's wife calms down Blue Marvel and gives him another task
    - Blue Marvel becomes the godfather to Uatu's child
    - Flash to Blade who has been captured by the Four Who Rule and is being prepared as a sacrifice

    This is the bare bones of the issue though, and I beg everyone to read it. Probably my favorite issue of the series so far.
    Ulana wasn't Uatu's wife, she was just his lover.

    And the Were-Roosters were great, i love that Ewing is having fun with it.

    probably because he hit it and quit it after taking her on a vampire slaying tour. Blade's addicted to the job.

    I'm not sure Ewing did that good a job, because Cage and the others got caught up in the Original Sin drama too quickly, that I didn't really understand why Cage would be so concerned about the Watchers death that he had to go out and look into it himself. Where does that come from? The reference to Spectrum and NEXT Wave was distracting, because it had nothing to do with anything. And why Dr Brashear made such a big deal about the Watcher is a mystery. If he knew so much about the Watcher, he would know Uatus death was not that big a deal. The Original Sin revealing all the secrets would be a big deal.

    As with all the OS main and tie-ins, this is just as dark and mirky as all the rest, because it takes you out of the optimism of the ANMN, and immerses you in an OS drama that at this moment seems synthetic to me. The whole of the MU has stopped, so this OS stuff gets center stage, and it's not like an Invasion. It's just that some esoteric being living on the moon just got killed, but everyone is heavy with it's fallout, far too heavy to my mind.

    It's possible that this all gets rejigged at the end and the Watcher steps out of the shadows. There's been so many alternate realities involved, considering Uatu is involved in the Multiverse, that this all resolves itself and nobodies dead. So Dr Brashear may never get the chance to beat on a villain. The whole MU is so tarnished now, you can't depend on anything sticking from here on in.
