I'm still stumped on a couple of the folks represented in that large splash charge with Thor at the center.

[Factor]

I'm worried about the writing and killing off the rumoured characters, but the art is absolutely stunning.
That splash page with all the heroes is just awesome. I recognize everyone but the girl above She-Hulk and below Hawkeye. Does anybody know who she is?

[Derek Metaltron]

Interesting that War Machine and She Hulk have appeared on a few covers on Carol's side now, perhaps neither of them are going to be killed off or made murderers after all?

I think it's Dazzler, she's just still in her stupid goth design no sane person likes.

[JackTuesday]

Splash page looks amazing except for Dazzlers bland outfit and Nico missing her gauntlet arm? Even in A-Force it is as if they cant decide if she has that hand or not =/

Yeah it looks like dazzler. You can thank bendis for that stupidity. If you think that is worse and have caught to what else he has done to her read new issue of A-Force (aka #4). Just remember not to lose your voice screaming the dumbness that he has done to her. I don't mean the issue itself but the issue features best example of it.

[Triniking1234]

When did they bring Pixie back?

[MyriVerse]

When did they bring Pixie back?

Did she go somewhere?

[Bukdiah]

Hmm, I wonder if I can read this series without my brain melting. I'm not familiar with every Marvel character/haven't read some in a long time.

Except the strange thing is that Bendis left Dazzler in an okay or at least recovering position at the end of his run where she wasn't all angry and even alright with returning to her job with SHIELD, having defeated Mystique. For some reason G. Willow Wilson set her back into that angry at the world position for A-Force. An odd choice for an actual good writer to do.

This is Bendis writing an event thus having the power to warp the status quo as he wishes. Your brain is gonna melt for a completely different reason.

[CJStriker]

While Indeed this seems interesting and I will be getting it, I am not sure if it has been mentioned by anyone else yet but this story seems to be the Marvel Equivalent of Minority Report (2002).

[Fokken]

Can we get an ID on the blonde to the left of Medusa in the backityback? A NuInhuman maybz?

When did they bring Pixie back?

Right?

Did she go somewhere?

Along with nearly EVERY X-person, yes.

[MyriVerse]

Can we get an ID on the blonde to the left of Medusa in the backityback? A NuInhuman maybz?

Anna Kravinoff, maybe? See ANInhumans.

Along with nearly EVERY X-person, yes.

Nah. They're all still there.

[Harpsikord]

I dunno if it's her but if I had to wager a guess as to who the mystery blonde is, she looks kinda like Darkstar.

Maybe Magik? An awful interpretation of the design, but maybe.
