Some part of me wants to read Secret Empire just to see bow it all plays out, but I also really don't want to. Generatuons, however, seems like it might be worth checking out with that format.

The Thousand needs to return as a villain for Silk, obviously.

Bees, unlike spiders, are universally your friend and wouldn't make for a good villain. I don't condone Marvel's libelous interpretation of them. 🐝

Spiders are actually your good pal, it's bees who are tiny assholes. You just get them mistaken because spiders are scary and bees are voiced by Jerry Seinfeld and sleep with our women.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Generations Creative teams got announced

-Iron Man (Tony Stark and Riri Williams) – written by Brian Michael Bendis
-Spider-Man (Peter Parker and Miles Morales) – Brian Michael Bendis
-Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers and Kamala Khan) – G. Willow Wilson
-Thor (Odinson and Jane Foster) – Jason Aaron
-Hawkeye (Clint Barton and Kate Bishop) – Kelly Thompson
-Hulk (Bruce Banner and Amadeus Cho) – Greg Pak
-Jean Grey (young and older) – Dennis Hopeless
-Wolverine (Logan and X23) – Tom Taylor
-Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell and Carol Danvers) – Margie Stohl
-Captain America (Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson) – Nick Spencer

Jean Grey is not a legacy, or a generational thing. It's the same person. Also gotta get Carol in there twice!

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/marvels-generations-original-wolverine-hulk-iron-man-return/story?id=46331912

Also, Marvel... Some characters need to just stay dead. And... Mar-Vell and Jean Grey are examples of that. I didn't want ONE Jean Grey, now you're giving me two.

Oh the fact that the creative teams are basically the same as they always were is another mess entirely. Yes marvel, people are upset about how Captain America is written because of the characters, not the WRITERS.

Maybe the issue will just be Jean taking young Jean out shopping or something while lecturing her about why she should stay as far away from Scott as possible

There are no characters Nick Spencer has written well, so I'm just annoyed he keeps getting work.

I doubt it since the premise of this seems to indicate it'll be Carol's Ms. Marvel that will be teaming with Kamala and not the current version. That Carol seems to be with Mar-Vell.

And yet Alonso claims this will not be self-contained, or an alternate universe, or a time travel story.

Well he clearly says there's a story-telling mechanism that is being used for it, so it's clearly not just everyone's alive again or their ages revert. We know they're not keeping Mar-Vell or older Jean or younger Carol around.

That depends, has Marvel done anything in the past year or two that says "Don't worry, we have an event that we wont gently caress up!" Are the writers placed upon these books new blood who might provide a fresh perspective to the tired trite that Spencer and Bendis have been putting out? Is anything about this implying that Marvel has learned... a loving thing? Nope. So why should give them the benefit of the doubt?

Rachel/Jean would have made a lot more sense. Especially with Rachel becoming a main character in one of the new X-Men teams.

There was one scene, in the 90's, in an issue of Excalibur, where Jean/Rachel accepted each other as mother/daughter. After that, nothing. Seems like it's about time for a followup on that.

I mean this barely counts as an event

it's a series of annuals if anything

also what the gently caress do the writers on these books who aren't Bendis and Spencer have anything to do with this?

No, she was completely right about what she did in Civ 2, so if anything, Kamala should apologize to her. Then she'd be on fleek!
