I was gonna skip Avengers: Prime. But I think I'm on board now. Sounds like a good read.

Can't believe they're bringing back Fafnir. Talk about obscure as hell. Considering he was in like 6 issues.

He is bringing back a dead character?

Weak.

Souds very good. I wonder who the other character was that he wanted for New Avengers that Hickman said no too. I'm thinking it was Daisy Johnson.

Avengers Prime sounds great but i got a question what was the problem between Cap and Thor I dont think they had any sort of ideological differences like Tony and Cap or the cloning issue between Tony and Thor!!if any one could shed some light on this it would be great

Very interesting indeed. Good to see that certain Poster's favorite character, Enchantress, will be back. Also there is a magic-user on the team that hasn't been revealed. Sounds like voodoo has a home right now!! I wonder if this means Strange will get back the Sorcerer Supreme title.

I wonder what other character Bendis was trying to get from the Fantastic 4 series?

It's an Asgardian Dragon. Who cares if he brings it back? Especially when Enchantress and Hela are involved.

I'm sure it may have something to do with Thor not being there when Cap died. He felt pretty bad about that.

It's was H.E.R.B.I.E.

Bendis is a big fan of the old Fantastic Four cartoon where they replaced the boring Human Torch with him.

Wasn't Thor "dead" at the time though? I too am wondering what sort of beef Thor and Cap might've had. The last time I recall them meeting alive was before Thor bit it during Ragnarok, but I could be wrong since I don't read all of their books.

Interesting. Why not have Pym make an Avenger version of it, then?

Any signs on where Beast is?

Also i find it funny that all who got cancelled get a spot on the Avengers.

Beast'll be in Secret Avengers. Hopefully we'll get an officially team announcement soon.

True he was dead at the time, but he was really torn up about it in that Civil War Thorshot. Which is why they're problems won't be as big as the one with Tony. Kinda like thor not doing much for earth when he came back. As an Avenger he could have done more in the Dark Reign when he didn't.

This is just pure speculation as Thor and Steve really have no "problems" with each other.

Re-reading that part of the article, it just sounds like presumptuous wording. Don't know if he intended for there to be any issues between Thor and Steve, but it looks like it might've just been the wording implying more than it was.

[Rev. Calibos]

Forget which issue it was but Thor 'summoned' Steve and spoke with his spirit didn't he?

There was never a rift between Cap and Thor, I imagine that the two of them will depend on each other to forgive Tony.
