    Finally!

    Ha! Sounds like Val and Namor WILL be renewing their acquaintance. Can't wait! I think Namor does have a type of woman he likes, but it doesn't revolve around hair color.

    I really don't see why Namor would feel guilty about what the Illuminati did with Hulk. He STRONGLY disagreed with that and nearly killed Iron Man. And it isn't like he hasn't helped out Hulk at least once, if not more, in the Fall of the Hulks arc.

    Otherwise, I like what I'm reading. But will that come across in the book? I guess I'm going to be buying it to see.

    Okay, color me intrigued about Namor, the T-Rex and Ant Man. And Microverse? Are we talking Micronauts??? I love them!

    I love how Doctor Strange reads the tea leaves! And the way Dodson draws him, I can see what Lyra sees in him.

    Despite my disdain for the whole "grand unification" thing, I was probably going to get this in trade anyway, just for Dodson's art. But that scene with Strange doing the divination spell with an Earl Grey tea bag, was a good selling point.

    wow. way to throw cold water on my tent pole. i'll check back in after issue 3hits the stands. i can't in good conscience support the book until i know which Ant-Man he's using. it's frustrating. he's said so many intriguing things about the other characters. but i couldn't tell you anything about "mystery character's" personality, at this point. ****!

    Yeah, I was disappointed that he didn't reveal WHICH Ant Man it is... and what we got makes we wonder if it is even anyone we know. I'm not so sure it will be issue #3, though, will it? Before Ant Man debuts?

    Yeah it looks like it will remain a mystery for now. *ponders*

    Do you care what Ant-Man they use? I for one am hoping for Scott Lang. And maybe somewhere down the road the Jack of Hearts. I loved those two together during John's Avengers run. And Darkhawk. I want him on every team.

    Sounds really, really good. I'm enjoying his takes on all these characters. Gonna be a fun book.
    Support titles that need supporting. Quit buying, reading and complaining about comics you don't enjoy.

    I have to agree with Fraction, the idea of a tiny Ant Man in the jaws of a T-Rex fossil is intriguing.

    This is sounding more and more awesome. Namor and Val would be near perfect for each other. The man loves his blondes :P

    Wonder who the mystery character is...
