Avengers #5 *Spoilers*

Speculation of the day: The refugee aliens are from the Future!

I'm gonna say they're not so much from the future as they are from somewhere else. They're refugees from another dying universe basically fleeing through our neighborhood.

[PupsOfWar]

My guess is based on how the characters of their alphabet also appear in the dialog of future F.F. members in Fantastic Four#605, which I happened to flip through last night.

The critters speaking it appeared to be of different species: I thought it might be a lingua-franca of the future Terran Commonwealth alluded to (which I assumed to be a multi-species affair due to all the aliens present on Earth).

All very tenuous reasoning and entirely speculative, of course.

I give 5% odds there's something to the connection, 95% odds that Hickman and the letterer just thought to themselves (ech, I don't wanna make another new font..."

[CyberHubbs]

Hah. Well, it's not like Hickman hasn't mined his own previous work before.

Going further on that: fleeing from enemies? The Stark, maybe? Do you remember that panel showing old armors in Avengers #1?
