[The Last Day Dawns]

Avengers #16: Really, Jessica Drew? I mean the signs have been leading up to there, but I really hope she wasn't put on the team just for that reason.

Children's Crusade #7: ARGH! X-Factor gets to join the fray! Really can't wait. I'd love to see them finally mixing with the Marvel Universe.

I don't get the book but had to laugh at that number for Iron Man 2.0 7.1.

And now it becomes clear why Mockingbird is dying... BOO!!!

Other than that:
Academy - HOLY SHI...poop! Traitor incoming!!!
Thunderbolts - Fixer to go EVIL! Oh man!
Generation Hope - Casualties during Schism? Uh oh...

I swear, if Mockingbird dies so that Hawkeye can go "My dog died so I got a new one" with Spider-Woman, I'm going to be SO MAD! But I guess that's what Bendis does...
Yeah, I really hope it's not Hazmat. TAKE STRIKER AND FINESSE OH GREAT EVIL!
I can deal with Gabriel dying. Though if Laurie dies, I'm going to post "Laurie, bad news."

"Gambit: From the Marvel Vault?" Wtf?

What is this, exactly? An unpublished retcon story by Lobdell? A new retcon story by Lobdell? Either way, they're saying Gambit teamed-up with the Champions, and Iceman and Angel had met him in the past?

[Nova2814.1]

Amazing Spidey is listed at 32 pages but still at $3.99. Is that a typo or has Spidey been "marqueed"?

Better question: Given the drop in the number of story pages in some recent Marvel comics, can they tell us how many of these comics won't have the standard 22 page stories?

I read somewhere that the Spider Island issues will only be 22 pages. I'm guessing its because Ramos is doing all 6 issues and he wouldn't have time to do more. I guess they could have done back ups with another artist, but oh well.

One of the story descriptions for Fear Itself: The Home Front reads:

"The teen analogues of your favorite Avengers -- X-23, Spider-Girl, Power Man and Thunderstrike -- find themselves stranded on a weird island in the middle of the Pacific. Is it their greatest fears come to life ... or the birth of a powerful new super team?"

I have hoping to see any kind of team-up between Anya (Spider-Girl) and Laura (X-23), but I can't believe it's actually happening! With the new Power Man and Thunderstrike to the mix as well, it seems Marvel is finally shining some light on their awesome their teen super heroes!

Speaking of X-23, is she actually teaming up with the Future Foundation? August can't come soon enough!

Hawkeye has been a classic Avenger who is even going to be in the movie.
Spider-Woman, who was striped of all personality because of Skrull Queen, hasn't left a lasting mark. Hawkeye was brought back to life because, IT'S HAWKEYE and people love him! Spider-Woman hasn't done anything to make her Avenger worthy!
