Hold on here... we have Moondragon, Patsy Walker, two Spider-Women, disco-era Dazzler, paf-shooting Jubilee... and Phoenix???

Note the big ol' Secret Wars logo.

It also has Niko from the Runaways/Avengers Arena/Undercover, who I believe is currently a villain.

I want to read Bendis' Daredevil run ahead of the Netflix series release, go nuts on Hickman's Avengers run after reading Bendis' New Avengers run, read the X-Men San-Fran/Utopia stuff to fill in the gaps as I read Messiah Complex and X-Necrosha to follow X-Force and a few other titles. I've found that picking a few X-series to read alongside each other is the way to avoid overload, but the post-Messiah Complex era has been really excellent to read, and I'm looking forward to finishing off the Hope Summers stuff.

Once you make it through the Hope stuff, make sure to hit on both of Si Spurrier's X-titles, X-Men: Legacy with Legion as the main dude and X-force. They're really good, especially if you've been following X-Force/Hope stuff along enough for the current X-Force run

Deserving a spot on the Avengers, wanting a spot on the Avengers, not getting a spot on the Avengers, and still making her reformation stick is what makes her her, though.

(I kid. It would be nice to see that plot line finally pay off.)

I would be the worst Avengers writer. I'd have Songbird and Nomad (the girl Bucky from Heroes Rerborn version) and She-Hulk and Hank Pym and Hazmat and Luke Cage and Captain Britain.

It'd be cancelled in 3 issues.

Marvel has been doing a good job of not throwing her into the deep end of the Marvel U. The second issue of Waid's SHIELD is pretty much dedicated to that idea. Don't want her and Nova growing up too fast.

Yeah I'm hoping that Kamala has occasional team-ups for a while before becoming part of a bigger group. Her comic is really one of my absolute favorites right now and feels more like the Marvel comics when I was a kid, and I love that. (I stopped reading hero comics for pretty much 20-odd years and only recently have returned to the fold... I'm kind of glad at new things happening like this as it makes a great springboard for a returning fan like me without having too many loving complicated things happening that refers to poo poo I never read).

That wasn't her, that was a dumb psychic echo thing, and she was totally kidnapped by the Red Skull or AIM or someone and she'd escape and tell the Avengers about an evil plan and then they'd make her an Avenger and...

I can't believe that they're having a team of various alternate universe superheroines with nary a Spider-Girl in sight. She's still the most successful of them all. Hopefully she'll show up in the MC2 corner of battleworld.

It's not necessarily Marvel. There are a lot of creators who come onto series and literally thought "I'll ruin this character that everyone likes because gently caress it; I don't!" Sometimes just to spite the previous writer as well.

Also where the heck is Susan Storm and/or Valeria in that picture. This does not bode well for my beloved FF. Totally psyched to see Nico there though. Hope America Chavez makes it in.

The previous Secret Wars-es sucked in people from all over the MU, but they were generally content to take the current version, not a time-displaced one.

And Nico has gone bad now? I skimmed Avengers Arena but must have missed that.

This one is taking from all across the multiverse.

And I've also not been actually reading it, but as I understand it, Niko's life has been so lovely that Alex was able to convince her to be an rear end in a top hat and use her powers to just take what she wants and the hell with everyone else.

I'm really hyped for A-Force too, despite that poo poo title. Jean Grey ... :eyepop:

Jack Hart returned to life once more in the second issue of the Marvel Zombies Supreme mini-series. While defending scientists at Project Pegasus, (which has been besieged by zombiefied clones of the Squadron Supreme) a team of special operatives led by Jill Harper and the superhero known as Battlestar came across a source of zero-point energy which Harper believed could help them stop the zombies. The zero-point energy unexpectedly reformed itself into corporeal form as Jack, who returned to life wearing his original suit for unexplained reasons. Harper managed to revive Jack, who was temporarily amnesiac and fainting from the stress of becoming human again. Although initially weakened, Jack quickly regained control of his powers and assessed the situation. Using his powers, Jack destroyed the zombies and saved Harper's life after she became infected with the zombie virus. Afterwards, the two shared a romantic kiss
