Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

Depending on how they mean this, this might be a good thing. If they mean " they will be no events, just series running their normal course", that would be perfect.

I read that as Marvel saying all their books will be telling big, compelling stories. A little bit of Smilin' Stan style hyperbole.

This is also not correct. "Biannual" and "semiannual" both mean twice a year. "Biennial" means every two years.

Given everything they've announced and solicited, the only books that won't be self-contained for the first arcs' worth of Legacy will be Waid having the Avengers and Champions crossover, and X-Men Blue/Gold crossing over in a Mojoworld story. I'm guessing it's hyperbole and maybe a slightly perverse "guys you buy event comics pleaaaaaase buy everything, they're all events? Ha? Please? *wipes flop sweat*"

This comic better have multiple instances of Ghost Rider having to repair the canopy on top of the car after Devil Dinosaur keeps sticking his head through it every time they go to the drive-in.

She's a regular good guy SHIELD agent who Steve's kept around him un-arrested/executed.
She didn't escape, but did just try to stab him in the neck with a piece of wood after the Black Widow thing.

edit: I've only been reading the main series, so if she's spying for the resistance or something in other comics, I dunno.

No, in the Cap run before Spencer when she was trapped in Dimension Z and got old, it was revealed that she had been brainwashed. Seems like that's been dropped? But I also think I remember her being all evil and plotty recently before this clusterfuck started.

I think this is part of it getting re-titled/numbered for Legacy but agreed, should have left it Hulk for this one at least

Was that confirmed? I thought she came back and everyone thought "that seems suspicious" and it was never really brought up again.

With how delayed the past several big summer events have been, we're in Event Mode like 6-7 months out of the year, if you count the Prelude/Road to… stuff. That doesn't even factor in the smaller things like Standoff.

I doubt it would be as big of an issue if it weren't happening All The Time.

At least Fascist Captain America has kept this train event on time though.

It feels like it's been a long time, but I think that's mostly factoring in all the time since the "HAIL HYDRA" reveal. I'm not following the event, but it's about over already, right? So barring surprise delays, it'll "only" be four months. And then Generations (which you could pooh-pooh but it doesn't sound all that event-y). And then at last a break.

There was a scene after she'd come back from Zola's HYDRA-dimension where a HOODED FIGURE(TM) shows up at a Hydra meeting and gloats how "They'll never suspect that I'M Hydra!"

People put the obvious clues together and figured it was probably Sharon, but Remender came off the book soon after and it was never explicitly revealed one way or the other. I doubt any other writer is gonna bother.
