I'll admit to being VERY excited for this.

I also find it kind of funny that Spider-Girl is already getting an annual.

I think the idea of an annual that brings these 3 titles together is awesome, but haven't we seen enough of Arcade the last few years?

Besides that crappy issue of Hickman's FF, when was the last time we saw Arcade?

Ya, there will only be 3 issues out at that point, pretty funny. On the other hand, there's going to be a Steve Rogers: Super Soldier Annual and that's not even an ongoing.

Really? Throw a source at me! I wanna read about that.

He was in X-Factor a few arcs or so ago. Was there anywhere else?

I jokingly asked Brevoort on his blog if they could turn that book into an ongoing and he responded "no", but that there was an Annual in the works.

Ah, I forgot about that one.

Meh. I guess I'll just skip the Avengers Academy Annual.

No interest at all in Spider-Girl or Young Allies. So why read Part 1 of a 3 part story.

I loathe these kinds of crossovers. The ones that make you buy books you normally wouldn't.

[SuperCooper]

Young Avengers?!? Where are you?? On the other hand, I like most of these characters, and there should be some good interactions. I'm still wary of how well a Spider-Girl ongoing is going to do though.

He was in an issue of Deadpool Team-Up. That's it.

[Rollo_Tomasi]

He was also in the Dazzler Necrosha one-shot.

I guess its not that many appearances after all..

An Annuals crossover? Man, when was the last time they did one of those?

The 90's or thereabouts.

This actually sound like fun. Arcade trying to salvage his rep by going arter easy marks is hysterical.

The bad part is that in the 80's this premise would have been a one and done in a regular sized issue of Power Pack.
