I have been surprisingly impressed by the tie-ins for this Event. I picked some up just on curiosity, but found what looks like important new developments I never saw before. For instance, in Uncanny Inhumans there is a development where Karnak sneakily sabotages Stark Towers leading to interesting consequences against the Inhumans, as well as a threat to Medusas reign from within. Deadpools wife Shiklah is in the very same Monster Metropolis that was transferred from Battleworld. And Totally Awesome Hulk now becomes a wish come true, from the time Amadeus Cho first related himself to Hulk in Amazing Fantasy #15, so long ago before CWI, yet, is going to really find out what it's like to be the Hulk even though he has accurate anticipatory throwing. And there are others that I have not mentioned as well.
Marvel were right in that the tie-ins are fleshing out the CWII Event more than the lacklustre main book has to date, (though we expect that to change with issue #3). This Event is affecting the wider ANAD community the further this thing goes along. Though the main book is planting the seeds, the creators of the regular lines are really taking hold of these developments and making changes to their status quos. Just this one spark of precog visions being implanted into the ANAD has opened up so many plot opportunities now, that maybe MARVEL NOW could be something to look forward too.
I think CWII is building.
I have to ask, do the original Illuminati still have those hand communicators? If they do, I'd like to see them call a meeting, suddenly, to expose something rather sensational.
