Osborne. Bendis. Bleah. Two big thumbs down.

Yeah...once it worked. Twice...you're just milking it, especially since there really is no reason for it to come back.

[oneirosdreams]

Meh.

They should keep Osborn from being used for a while yet. But that's just my humble opinion.

[pyrotwilight]

I'm not sure if it's even possible for me to care less about a new Dark Avengers.

Hell, give the Revengers in New Avengers a chance first, they have Anti-Venom on their roster!

[thanekos]

I kinda wish this promo was Neal Adams art, but he's only doing the Point One.

(I'd also like to see a frothing Norman rant in the vein of Batman: Odyssey.. it'd work so well.)

[nezchan]

Okay, Marvel, I get it. Even if I leave DC, I won't start reading your books. You don't have to do this crap just to keep readers away.

[filkertom]

As far as I'm concerned, Norman Osborn died in Amazing Spider-Man #122.

Nothing Marvel has published since has convinced me otherwise.

I don't give a fuck about their retcons. It's just getting old. He's not Marvel's Lex Luthor. He's more like Vince McMahon.

And I've got better things to do than read what Marvel considers "edgy" these days. Most of them involve toenails or paint.

[an_idol_mind]

That better not be Skaar in the background there.

[midnightvoyager]

.....*facepalm*

[turtlefu]

I am of the opinion that the only person allowed to write Osborn from now on is DeConnick.

Also, I just read Alias the other day. What the HELL happened to Bendis!? How did his writing get so bad/cliche?

[lucky_gamble]

The milk gone bad.

I think the timing is interesting, considering they're teasing this at the same time they're promoting Simon Williams' Revengers for the Annual, considering while not identical ideas, there are definite similarities.

I'm curious to see what Osborn's status is going to be. This is the second time that Bendis has had him very publicly go off the deep end and be sent to prison only to get out not long after. Is he out legally and if so, is he still going to be associating with HAMMER now that it's essentially a terrorist organization? To what end are the Dark Avengers being organized? Are they explicitly going after the other two teams or is he going to be presenting them as an independent third(since the Secret Avengers are supposed to be... a secret) force doing things the other two won't for whatever reason?

"...and you're gonna be in trouble..."

[r0b666]

Is that Batroc the Leaper in he background?

I liked Dark Avengers so I'd be curious to see where they go with this, but I can't take Batroc the Leaper seriously.

Ever.

THE HOUSE OF IDEAS!

[darkblade]

So bets on the villian for Amazing Spider-Man being a Luthor stylized Osborn now at 5:1.

[halloweenjack]

Bored now.

[sunaya]

They're not...really going to be called the New Dark Avengers I hope? It just sounds silly to me.

[arilou_skiff]

I'm kind of... Hmmm?

On the one hand: Blegh. Osborn.

On the other hand, that was I thought about the first DA series, and that one turned out great. So...

[crabby_lioness]

Is this going to lead to another event? I have event burnout already.

[don1138]

If I recall correctly, Dark Avengers was a consistent top-ten, near 100,000 copies per issue hit. Could that possibly have any tangentially remote relevance?

Speaking of tangents, MISFITS avoids all the mistakes HEROES made.
