New Avengers #26 wordless preview

[sherkahn]

ComicBookResources.com has the preview of #26, as revelations reveal how long ago the seeds of precaution have been prepared for the coming of the Phoenix as AvX continues.

I've been trying to find a decent "cut tag" phrase to get you to click and look on.

"They've been waiting."
"They have a plan."
But they sound too cheesy. Keep it simple





By Roth!!!, you have Da Vinci from S.H.I.E.L.D. involved.... and the are developing a contingency plan for the Phoenix?!

How long HAVE they known?
Is K'un L'un's extradimensional existence a way to hide the city from the Phoenix?
You had a plan for Galactus and the Celestial Child... what's the plan for the Phoenix?
Was the Iron Fist program designed to create an ideal host?

I wonder how much of Davis' Excalibur run will be recalled, since that established that the Phoenix was first active on Earth many centuries ago, when a sorcerer of an alternate Earth (A contemporary of Merlyn) travelled to 616 to communicate with the Phoenix Force, becoming it's host for a while.

I would be very surprised if Bendis has the slightest clue about any of that stuff, it would take a couple of minutes of online research after all and might get in the way of his ideas.... :p

Signs point to None!...but it would be pretty awesome to have a Feron cameo here.

"Dammit, do I have to grow my hair out and dye it red and get implants? What does a boy magician have to do to get some Phoenix action here!?"

Well, if you wait a thousand years or so, we do have a "He-onix"



Giraud, the 9th Phoenix host since Jean Grey

Combining the shiny shoulderpads and the codpiece--that's different.

There was a Phoenix Franklin in an alternate future Ultimate X-Men/FF crossover if I remember correctly.

Given Franklin's pre-existing power levels, that seems a little... redundant.

For some reason, I don't think there is going to be an Ultimate Franklin Richards anymore...
