    I bet it’s Spider-Man. Or Steve Rogers again.

    AN AVENGER WILL DIE.  Well which team? Dark, Mighty, Young, New, Intiative? Or my favorite Mexican Avengers.  Un Vengador se morirá

    I hope it’s Venom. I hope Ares just flat out kills him in a two page spread. He’s been slipping lately and if anyone is gonna go down in all this Chaos it should be Gargan

    I’m guessing it’s not the Sentry, unless the cover’s supposed to mislead us. 

     

    I’m thinking it’s got to be one of the Dark Avengers. Or Mockingbird, you know just to cause Clint Barton more trouble.

    It would be funny if the solict read:

    @Slockhart… yeah probably. that’s seems to happen a lot with Bob.

     

    @RoiVampire… why has Venom been actling like such a weakling? I think it’s because the Dark Avengers’ Ms. Marvel slapped some bad juju on him. There’s something suspicious about her.

    So the consensus guess is that this "avenger" death is a Dark Avenger, right? Bullseye: "Not like thiiiiiis!!"

     

    By the way, it is a funny joke, but i recently re-read that issue and that’s not the line at all. Clint does yell "Not like this," but he then follow it with a "Like this!" It is as if he is giving instructions: "Not like ‘A,’ but instead, like ‘B.’" Maybe that doesn’t clarify any. It is actually pretty in character for ol’ Clint Barton.

    @face
    did you read this issue? Cross company jabs aside, this was one hell of a book, hard to do a big company superbook better than this! The art was beautiful, story was great as promised an avenger died, Maria hill was kicking ass, daken got his, and between this and DA bendis has pulled the sentry out of the bog he has been stuck in, and a kick ass cliff hanger! This was great stuff! My lcs guy even raved and he is not a big two guy at all! My pick of the week even with sweet tooth an easy 5 star book, echo(living on the east coast) and picking up the last two Locke and keys (finally got around to reading the second
    trade)! although LK crown of
    shadows 2 was hella good!

    conor saw you on the boards what r ur thoughts on the book?

    @AquaPimp – I could be wrong, but I think death is seen as a momentary setback for gods in the MU. Then again, death is just a temporary setback for most semi-important mortals in the MU, not to mention their mortal enemies, spouses, elderly aunts etc. etc.

    That was a lot of fun.  This is just a big fun action movie with tons of fighting.  I can’t wait to see issue three, and I by no means have been following all the Marvel events over the past years.  But this, four issues, all action, and the end result is the Marvel U returns to form: I’m in.

    Siege was great and that is say something as you expect great from Bendis. I personally love House of M because of Bendis and Coipel and have always loved his work. Its even worth checking out Coipel’s  ‘Red Zone’ run on the Avengers with none other than Geoff Johns and Andy Lanning. Let just say that you might want to check the JMS and Coipel’s Thor run too as it is soooo good and I never even got Thor until then, you will not regret it! (it has slightly abrupt conclusion though due to Marvel taking the toy off him, amazing though. Now if only Marvel would do that to Loeb and the Hulk!!! I mean who cares, Rulk is Ross already and She-Rulk is Betty!!!  (Ron, try Thor, if you hate it, i promise to buy the trade off you or the HC, on my wife’s life I will, even my cat’s life, how’s that?:)
