That Secret Invasion Solicit sends a shiver up my spine. That sounds awesome.

"One has a hammer, one had a shield"

Wow.

- It should be very cool to see Thor and New Cap get involved in the mainstream MU.

- I'm guessing Xavin either gets hijacked or has a secret plan to save everyone.

- That Black Panther solicit sounds really badass.

- Incredible Herc looks good as usual; my guess is either Atum or Mikaboshi die; the former has had like two appearances ever (and, given his power level, would be best-suited for an Incredible Last Stand), the latter is a super-villain).

The solicits look pretty good. Also could Krew in Avengers initiative mean the Skull Kill Krew. Also I'm assuming the red blood green blood thing has to do with Crusader.

It looks like Marvel is making the Tie-ins more Essential to the Main comic
Good Job Marvel

Also, whoever came up with Power Pack vs. the Skrulls deserves a big raise.

The only problem with that is its not 616 power pack but the all ages version that probably grouped in with this to get better sales. Slightly sneaky marketing if you ask me.

That line about the hammer and shield made me shout out with joy.

Fury, Thor and Cap...possibly in the same issue? Count me in.

Yeah, because Skrulls make adults buy kid's books all the time. How dare they!

It would be funny if they were actually referring to Beta Ray Bill and US Agent.

I just wish it was the real Spider-man beating the crap out of Bucky instead of a Skrull.

Thursaiz
04-14-2008, 09:20 PM
My first thought, while thinking Skrully, was that it might be Thunderstrike and USAgent.

Isnt She-Hulk also tied into SI in July?

... there are two people who want some answers. One has a hammer and one has a shield.

Oh man, that sounds so good. Thor is so gonna have some words with thee.

You have to give it to Marvel, what a better way to bust those two back to "general universe" than by saving the day and whooping some shapeshifter ass.

Plus the answer to the biggest question in modern Avengers history...

Where is the Scarlet Witch?

I believe it was said Layla Miller was appearing this issue.

Elektra went down swinging? OH GOD DON'T BE DEAD AGAIN!!:mad: :frown: I hope if it is the end for her that its a good end and doesn't involve the Skrulls calling her a ninja skank on every panel and easily killing her.

Is the cover for New Avengers 43 an homage to something? It looks familiar but I can't place it.

I don't normally get Avengers titles, but that homage cover might be worth the price of admission.. beautiful.

Yeah, that pose Skrulk-eye is in just rocks.

Thanks Optimus and Will! It makes the cover even better now that I can see what it's homaging. :biggrin:
