Bendis's last Avengers arc

[vh4ever]

Oh great another big event, can't wait *sarcasm off*. Is any one else suffering from event fatigue?

Terminal case right here, best cure thus far has been Thief of Thieves by Kirkman/ Spencer #1-6. Solid read, and much more palatable than ANYTHING AvX related. That and chuckling profusely at spoilers about AvX and all the related dreck.

[vh4ever]

I see Bendis is still going through till the very end by doing some Avenger and New Avenger issues from October to November with Avengers and October to December with New Avengers..what are these arcs about?

and here I thought this post had a pause in it with the closer...'can't come soon enough...' ba dum bum...my bad.

It seems to me Marvel is making sure every single Hitch-drawn issue of this arc is actually fully completed before distributing any of the issues. A wise move in my opinion.

I don't think the Avengers arc is Ultron related. Here are the solicits for each...

AVENGERS #31
BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS (W) • BRANDON PETERSON (A&C)

• The final explosive arc for long-term Avengers writer Brian Michael Bendis.
• While the Avengers deal with the fallout from AVX, Tony Stark intercepts the signal…a signal that may lead the Avengers into the arms of one of their dearest friends…or their greatest enemies

AVENGERS #32
BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS (W) • MIKE MAYHEW (A)
Cover BY BRANDON PETERSON
END TIMES CONTINUES!
• The Avengers follow the signal trail to one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in Avengers history…and a shocking reveal that will leave the internet abuzz!

Hitch, Bendis, Brevoort, Axel, etc. have all that said Hitch's part of the story has already been completed. The story is obviously taking place in the future or alternate reality, so I don't think it will impact anything that will happen in Hickman's Avengers. Maybe they go the route like AoA where something in the past triggers the Age of Ultron.

New Avengers #100 would be hella' cool, by the man who invented them himself, Bendis.

I don't think it'll happen tho'. I'm guessing that maybe one of Hickman's issues will be #100..? If so, well, I suppose we better expect something big.

Well issue 32 will be #98 of Bendis' run, including his .1 issue, but excluding the Annuals.

I'm really hoping we get a #33 in November, followed by an oversized finale #100 in December.

Uh oh internet will be abuzz.

The last Avengers one is about an unrelated matter to the Ultron story. That arc will be rapped up in a mini series with Brian Hitch on the artwork, not in the Avengers series itself.

But the New Avengers is the Drumm of Revenge storyline that was teased on that time stream map from Avengers #5. It's about time really, this revenge had better be well thought out for how long Jericho's brother waited.

Well thought-out in a Bendis book? You kid surely.

Uh oh internet will be abuzz.

Ah you see, here is the real clue.....notice all the interlocking covers seem to like molecules....so a micro verse....and the Internet will be a BUZz.......gotta be the SEARCH FOR the WASP......buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The Wasp would make sense... either he genuinely brings her back or this is all a cruel tease (which makes the characters come to grips with the fact that she's really gone and never coming back)

His New Avengers arc seems to be about tying off similar loose ends with the Jericho/Daniel Drumm storyline.

[Hypestyle]

wasp? if she comes back, she needs a new love interest. The back and forth with her and hank is tired. Shang Chi, Falcon, Scott Lang, etc.

[NewMutant]

Ant Man needs to start stirring shit up again with Jessica and Luke.

[Prince Of Orphans]

Anyone know it Hellstrom will be involved in this final arc? He was there when Voodoo bit it. Seems only fitting he'd be there when his brother comes back for revenge.

I haven't heard either way.

It would make sense in terms of symmetry of plot, but it wouldn't be in character for Strange to trust Daimon after what happened in Fearless. Still, he might just... turn up. I guess he's in with an outside chance of being the next Sorcerer Supreme, but I'm 90% sure the title is going back to either Strange or a revived Brother Voodoo.

Wasp has to be the last Avengers arc

Fingers and toes crossed that she will be.

Uh oh internet will be abuzz.

Sounds good.

If it is just a cruel tease I will not be a merry man that day.

I agree if or when she comes back I don't want to see Hank as her love interest at least for a while (though I think it'd be inevitable that Hank will become a love interest at some point).
