"The most important comics page this year"

[stubbleupdate]

I've not seen it discussed here, but Bendis' Avengers title has a Rip Hunter's Whiteboard moment
From the T&A comes this quotation from Tom Brevoort

And in fact, we've got something of a master plan mapped out for the next few years – and readers will get a taste of it in "Avengers" #5 next week. But as a service to our loyal T&A readers, here's the key excerpt. It's a chart that Old Tony from the future shows to his present-day self, warning him about what is to come. We've fat-packed it with hints and portents of future events, so it ought to provide plenty of fodder for fan speculation-at least that's the hope! And here it is.


Now, some bits are kind of straightforward.

Going from left to right, as far as possible,
Captain America Reborn (self explanatory)
Heroic Age Begins (self explanatory)
Hope Returns (the X-baby)
Nine worlds in disarray (?)
Three (Epting and Hickman's Fantastic Four)
Man without fear (Daredevil)
Throwbacks
Academy Traitor! (Avengers Academy)
Master of Kung Fu (The Immortal Iron Fist?)
What is where Asgard should be (isn't Loki addressing this point sometime soon?)
Five Lights (5 new mutants after Hope's return)
Nova Antiquus (something about Nova?)
Return of the king (Black Panther? Wilson Fisk?)
Night Falls (?)
Iron Lad Returns (?)
Where is Wanda (visual puzzle book for young children)
All Hope Lies in Doom (one of the phrases that future Valeria sent Future Franklin gave to give to present Valeria. I think that it's to do with the Hole full of Dooms that the Council of Reeds has)
Fear without Man (Don't know. Sounds fucking intense)
Galactus Seed (Ditto)
Schizm! (?)
Yesterday's X-Men
What's in the rings (?)
Steve's Vision (The Vision? Or Steve Rogers' Indian drug fuelled vision that inspired him to write his big book of the Marvel Universe?)
Ultron War (the next chapter in Cosmic Marvel?)


Interesting, ish.

If Doom has Hope, does that mean Stefano and Bo have to team up and save her?

(One summer, before the Internet, when I was in a cast, and that name is forever burned into my mind.)

No, if you read further down on the page you will see that Space Trucker (most recently seen in Deadpool) has two cousins.. Bo and Luke Duke, who will go there with their suped up car and rescue the girl.


Wayyyyyy down at the bottom of the page..... yup.... down there.

There's goes my chance to pitch Lords of Hazard as the Marvel Cosmic revamp.

There is no vehicle they cannot leap over a chasm.

Let's just not bring Scorpio into this.
