issue 3 sounds intresting...Someone puts on armor. And the real villian shows itself. I thought it was Norman...Maybe it's Loki (as usual.)

Gotta be talking about Tony and Loki here. Unless there's some whammo mystery villain we've never heard of? Or the Void? But I'm guessing, the way he phrased it, it's just that Loki goes public.

My prediction is that Cap's shield destroys the Iron Patriots helmet and Norman reverts to Green Goblin

Yeah, I was thinking Norman finally loses it. Hopefully, the Sentry flying into space to fight with himself isn't a catalyst.

Tony and The Void? I figure the Void since he said 'itself' and not himself or herself although in the case of Loki I guess you can't really specify

"There's a big fight scene. Somebody puts on some armor, and you will genuinely see something you've never seen before in a Marvel Comic..."

I will eat my hat and if it is a) not just that very used promotional stunt and is actually true b) is something that I will actually enjoy reading somehow c) it really makes sense.

I'm not all caught up on Iron Man (missed #23 at my LCS) but it sounds like Tony suits up. I don't know how well his mind is though.

The real villain? I don't see Loki revealing himself just like that. I wished Billy would have done that back in the pages of Mighty Avengers.

The idea of Norman's Green Goblin persona rearing it's ugly head would be cool. Imagine Norman wearing the Goblin suit under the armor without even realizing it. Everyone then sees him wearing it after Roger nails him with the shield and shatters his armor. I know that armor is strong but just imagine.

The suitcase of porn would have made perfect sense. It would explain what would give Stark the energy to get out of bed and give it another shot. I'm still thinking there's a bit of porn beneath the armor.

Siege has been pretty good IMO, and so far has given fans exactly what they wanted.

I wish Bendis would stop with all the hype. It makes him look like an idiot.

The helmet has three video windows in its visor. One, small, shows what he is actually supposed to be seeing just in case. One with moderate size shows Stark's collection of best porn movies, and the third one, larger, displays random hacked live sex cameras, cause nothing bet things being done right now in front of you, except doing it ofc.

Oh well, and there are more specific accessories I believe we can't describe at this time of the day, its too earlier to give such details.

It makes him look like he's doing his job in this interviews. Which is to get people interested enough to buy the comic. Don't have to like it or buy into it, but Marvel is leaps and bounds beyond DC when it comes to their hype and actually getting people interested enough to buy the book when it hits.

I mean seriously, do you expect a comic writer to come out in an interview for a major event work and say, "Yeah, I mean, it's a pretty mediocre comic. Not too good, but not horrible. Pretty much exactly everything you'd expect and there's nothing original in it whatsoever."

Seriously?

[Filthy Mutie]

Siege has been pretty good IMO, and so far has given fans exactly what they wanted.

I agree with this. And, it's a nice change, since a lot of what's been done with events in the last several years has been pretty lukewarm to me.

It makes him look like he's doing his job. Which is to sell more comics.

Basically. At least he tends to deliver, too.

The explanation of why Ares believed it was a bad thing to have Asgard on Earth was kind of flawed, considering that every part of it applies equally well to his own pantheon. The Asgardians and their city are supposed to be in another part of creation? The Olympians are supposed to be on Olympus, not hanging out in a skyscraper headquarters on Earth, to pretty much the same degree.

Also, grizzly? Really? That should be gristly, as in all the bone and gristle showing when Ares gets torn in half. I guess if it passes spell check, they don't bother to proofread further.
