I see it going something like this...   Zatanna adjusted to her new environment, a desolate gray expanse of rock and fog at the peak of Wundagore.  "siht si erom ekil ti!" she said.  While she considers her next phrase, Zatanna sees boiling red chaos energy pouring out of the woman in red's eyes. Rather than speaking a spell, the Scarlet Witch simply screams, wi...

This will be great for the quality. Not sure about DCs implicit decision to make two of their flagship books quarterly titles, though. (Can anyone really see JMS getting 2-3 monthly books on time, while also working on the Earth 1 OGN?)

It looks like this will probably be the "Street Level" and or "Spy" team of Avengers. The ones who do the dirty work, rather than the big visible heroes. Does that silhouette look like a Deodato Spider-Man to anyone else? Though why would Spider-Woman be on the main team, and Spider-Man on the sneaky team? She's the spy. Or maybe some of the existing teasers have bee...

It's pretty obvious that Steve Rogers will be the new head of SHIELD. So Bucky wields the shield, but Steve wields the S.H.I.E.L.D. So we get the new Cap for a while longer, but also get Steve Rogers as an inspiring leader to herald a new Heroic Age-- Gonna be fun!

Gorgeous art!

For those pointing out that these are all Marvel comics... Could that not just be a sign of how much Marvel's sales drawf everyone else's?

I think the clue lies in the pages of the regular X-Books. Recently the Cuckoos dropped unconscious, and the Phoenix force was seen leaving them. This seemed to roughly coincide roughly with Hope and Cable about to return to our time. I think we can see what is building here. Hope is a powerful redheaded telekenetic, raised by Cable. The Pheonix force has abandoned the Cuckoos and Rachel Grey...

I wasn't really upset about this to begin with, it always felt tongue-in-cheek rather than nasty. I figured they were poking fun at their rival. Also, they have a point-- DC got inflated sales of certain books, when they were really selling merchandise. It was all about the rings. Could Marvel sell a $25 dollar comic, with a free shirt, and count that as a comic book direct sale? The rings pr...

The chair splinters across Hellboy's back, but Big Red just shrugs off the blow. After all, he's supernaturally strong and gets hit harder, by bigger things, on a near-daily basis. What chance does some Scouse conman have in a bar fight with him?  "Ow," grunts the big brute, "Didn't have to do that, did you?" He turns to face Constantine, only to find himself facing ...

I am pretty sure that "The Avengers" + "New Avengers" + "Mighty Avengers" = ~600 issues. I predict a re-launch with "Avengers #600" to begin The Heroic Age. I also suspect a schedule similar to Amazing Spider-Man.
