....For all the problems we have had with Bendis... I think only he could make that conversation about Madame Hydra's octopus hat actually funny.

Same old Johnny
"Here, hold my Annihilus" LOL

As funny as the joke was, did we really need to waste two pages with the back and forth banter?

Looks like the moment Johnny comes back Spidey is off the F4.

[Chris McFeely]

I'd be more amused by the jokes about Viper's headwear if it wasn't mysteriously absent in New Avengers.

Don't count your fire squirrels before they have collected all their nuts. Johnny may be back, but I'm thinking there is something else going on here. Something sinister. You just know there is going to be a chase scene through the corridors of the Baxter building, with Torch burning through one of the strongest doors to give us the line "Heeeeeere's Johnny!"

I usually complain about lack of consistency bteween titles, but I'm actually glad she didn't have it. That thing is awful!

It is supposed to be alien and otherworldly. A small nod to the Hydra virus from the Earth X series. A series that also had Norman Osborn as the president of the USA.

Agreed.

Thanks for the info, but it doesn't make that thing any less ridiculous looking ;/

Still, it doesn't say much for the Marvel Architects, if when one writer is finished with a character, another comes along and instead of building on recent developments, hits the reset button instead.

Besides, the Hydra squid bonded to The Viper was supposed to give her a new merged personality. Surely she could have responded by saying 'at least it's not a green rubber fright mask'.

The Kree soldiers have the color of Lieutenants but the insignia of Captains. Fix that before launch, Marvel!!!
So Osborn now just crashes every Avengers press conference?
That's his thing? I rather the dude have a hard-on about taking on a teenager.

The point of that scene might actually be to explain why it's no longer present. Or won't be.

They are alien soldiers. Who cares.
