anything interesting ? any news on Wanda ? will she be the secret weapon ? i doubt it

No, I don't think so. The figure that showed up in the Siege: The Cabal was definitely male, at least from the silhouette that was blasting the proxy Doom that showed up at the meeting. Bendis had a peculiar reveal about the whole Sentry / Void duality in DA #13 that just served to muddy the waters IMO. It's really not a spoiler since the preview was widely distributed with the usual 5 or 6 pages on all titles. Bendis has Bob's wife Lindy throwing out the thought that the Sentry (that's her husband Bob Reynolds) has powers that are similar to that of Moses and Jesus. The first pages shows us the last of the Ten Plagues of Egypt, that of the death of the first born. At one point, when the Void in taunting Lindy he says spoilers:

"I am the Devourer of Worlds. I am Galactus"

end of spoilers But I am pretty sure it's leading to the Void being the Secret Weapon. I'm just sick of Bendis dragging it all out.

Iron Maiden !! just the person i was looking for X-factor #201 has doom !! u might like to see the preview .. a hint of doom but stil !!

[Iron Maiden]

Oh yeah, I got #200 with the kids hiring them out. The preview with faux Reed looks pretty sinister. Doom's had a pretty good week of badassery. He was rumbling with the Cosmic Hulk and dealing with the threat of Nightmare in Doctor Voodoo.

From the start I never saw how it could be anybody but the Sentry. It still feels that way (including Osborne's 'you're my secret weapon" remark. Just not clear why they would hide the identity then.

I honestly don't know WHAT the hell they're doing with the Sentry anymore, but I usually shudder when they start dragging in judeo christian elements. Because that rarely works well in a verse where they have all the gods from all the other pantheons running around too. Because they should either treat it all equally, or address why they're not, or ...well just not go there then.

And they seem to change their minds about what the point of the Sentry is a little too often. Now his true powers are basically the Molecule Man's? And what's with the serum? He needs more of it? Since when? Has there ever been any indication that he weakens without it? From his surprise at Osborn giving it to him, I get the impression he hasn't seen it in a while, yet he was always as powerful as ever.

Bit of a mess if you ask me...

Call me nostalgic. But my favorite Magneto was during God Loves, man Kills.
He was so human, so broken hearted and strong at the same time...

[Noona1]

Seriously .. this doesn't make anyone want to react ?

New thread. Just checking in. Long live Magneto!

I was catching up on old New Avengers, and while I fear bees coming after me with angry kittens for bringing this up, the issue with Hawkeye *cringes* I think Aunt Agatha is Loki. Wanda keeps talking about Aunt Agatha, but we never see her. Not saying she is involved in Seige, but it would not surprise me if Loki is the one keeping her occupied.

He wears it nicely.

Indeed. Although I prefer when he is outfitted by Jim Lee.

Is this your artist? I always butcher the spelling so I just call him CR's guy

Probably, but I’m trying to avoid the previews, so I’ll get back to you when I read it At this point if Clay Mann is drawing I’m happy.

This would also be why I can’t tell if Gnarl is trolling


Edit: Okay I broke, I read it. I've never had a problem if this winds up going somewhere. I'm still not entirely wure where it is going. As far as Magneto being broken down in most of the books, like I said, same with Wolverine. One minute he can resonstitute from being hurled int to sun, the next story he gets kicked in the balls and is out for a week. Meh. Whenever they have him too powerful he winds up being a jerk so I'm fine for now
