This is a one-shot. Why is everyone assuming it's an event? It's not even being advertised as leading into things.

To be fair, the press release from Marvel reads:

quote:

This March, Marvel’s brightest heroes will defend their very right to save the world in OUTLAWED, an event one-shot that will kick off one of 2020’s biggest events!

and

quote:

With various stories spinning out of it throughout next year, OUTLAWED is just the epic beginning of a bold new era for Marvel’s most promising heroes!

and

quote:

“OUTLAWED introduces an ongoing status quo that will be reflected in books across the line—almost every active character who’s under 21 (and even a few who are older) will be affected by the decisions made in OUTLAWED, and they won’t all agree on whether the new world order is good or bad. But there are real, serious consequences now for those who go against the ruling passed down in OUTLAWED, and it’ll interfere with their lives in a way they’ve never experienced, leading to some really interesting stories.”

Now, this isn't to say it will be a 100-part tie-in to every book in the world, but it certainly sounds like it will lead into an "event"; the shape it takes is what we don't know.

The 50 States Initiative started off as a project spearheaded by Henry Peter Gyrich (who was secretly working with a Nazi supervillain scientist to power up the recruits) and who also may or may not have been in the process of getting brainwashed by Hydra (or working for Hydra, unclear) to resurrect the Scourge program while he was overseeing the Initiative. Also one of the other main people behind the Initiative project was Hank Pym, who had been replaced by a Skrull.

During Secret Invasion it was revealed that Skrull-Pym had conspired to make sure there was a secret Skrull on the team stationed in each of the fifty states, and they commandeered all of their bases to build some sort of Negative Zone bomb.

Anyone who survived Secret Invasion, wasn't a Skrull, and didn't quit, was rolled over into the Thunderbolts Initiative under Norman Osborn's control, which not many heroes were that interested in. Then the Thor-Clone from Civil War got reactivated and busted up/killed pretty much everyone who was left, and Osborn shut it down as part of his plan to consolidate power.

So there wasn't much Initiative left by the time Osborn got taken down and the SHRA was repealed. It also was a weirdly corrupted/awful group behind the scenes for pretty much the entire time it existed.

Ah, I knew about most of that from wikipedia summaries I read years back but somehow missed the Negative Zone bomb.

Yeah this one's on me I ctrl+f'd the linked article for "event" and didn't get any of this. I wasn't looking at the actual press release though.

I was thinking less "big crossover event book" and more like that last paragraph, a status quo that isn't specifically an event, like Dark Reign.

I haven't read that, but from that description it's most likely Peter's spy sister. The other child of his spy parents.

Zdarsky reintroduced her recently and made it clear that she's actually his sister, rather than some weird manipulation trick. I forgot her name.

Teresa Parker, she's from a Mark Waid OGN that wasn't referenced for a long while before Zdarsky brought her back and gave her more of a fleshed out story.

She's also literally teaming up with Peter in ASM right now, which is a nice piece of continuity. AMJ continues to live up to its name.

Also, Spider-Verse was great. It's always nice to see more of Peni & her world. Was the Kraven/Sinister connection a nod to the Spider-Man/X-Men miniseries?

Also Captain Marvel was also magnificent. It's great to see Singularity back. :3:

And FNSM also ended today, it was a great little book.

Al Ewing is unbelievably good. Immortal Hulk has shifted gears so effortlessly and feels so fresh these past few issue while still feeling like an inevitable extension of previous developments. He's a treasure.

I haven't read it yet, but his versatility is impressive. He can write creepy body horror Hulk while writing silly, but emotional Rocket Raccoon space heist.

Xemnu the Titan, aka Xemnu the Hulk! He was a pre-FF monster character who was billed as The Hulk on the cover of JiM #62. He's a space criminal with telepathy and assorted mind powers who shows up here and there-- he fought She-Hulk during John Byrne's run and iirc was a recurring Defenders problem. There's a fun arc where he takes over a childrens' television show to use his mind control powers over the airwaves.
