Wow, Starbrand versus the big shots. That cover is badass.

That looks awesome! Thanks SZ. I'm going to have to browse up on my New Universe again. Seeing some of the most powerful members going up against the Star-Brand and barely making him sweat, just awesome.

Let the speculation begin! Who is are he new Captain Universe and Smasher? Looking great so far.

I'm curious as to whether, now that we have enough samples of New Adam's alphabet cipher to get reasonable translations done, anyone has gone back and translated the little snippet in #2?

I'm getting that it's:

"Ilive," (Alive"? "I live?")

"Tell them,"

But I could be wrong.

So in Avengers #4, is Hickman stating that Hyperion was brought to this Earth becasue of an incursion? Hmmm....

And is it possible that this is how the Star-Brand makes it here as well? The posssibilities are endless with this.

[PupsOfWar]

It's possible that this Star Brand gets to 616 through some connection to the multiversal hijinks going on in New Avengers, but I dunno if there's any particular reason to think so other than that it reconciles the new cosmology and New Universe elements being introduced with existing 616 continuity.

I'm leaning toward the New Universe elements being different from (if possibly related to) Incursions, just as a hunch.

[marvell2100]

It's possible. But you may be right. The Star-Brands appearance probably won't have any connections to what's going on in NA. Although it would be interesting if the Star-Brand were resposible for the initial Incursion.

I asked Hickman about other Squadron members appearing in Avengers. I'd love to see Zarda or Spectrum make it to our Earth as potential villains.

I'm intrested in New Adam. Who I think is going to become a Nightmask--plus being made from "god Particals". The intresting thing is that all the Nightmask had different powers.

Intresting stuff.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see what exactly this Nightmask will be able to do.
