A giant Hank McCoy is going to eat Cable!!!

...wait, that's probably just foreshortening.

[donnblake]

I don't know, it's SinisterLand, I wouldn't rule out a giant cannibal Hank McCoy.

[shakalooloo]

Hey, maybe Hank rebuilt the shrunken space station that Remender's Secret Avengers hung out in!

[super_fly]

If it's forced perspective I want to know what's going on behind and to the left of Space Sinister that's more important.

[cainofdreaming]

Belasco the Swordsman? But I thought he was Italian, not French?

Also... Can't sleep. Unhinged Jaw Mary Jane will eat me.

[scorntx]

Goodness, Marvel's giving Genis a push all of a sudden.
Wonder why that might be.
(Anyone else getting the feeling he might be turning up in The Marvels?)


My interest in Scarlet Witch getting a new ongoing lasted the length of time it took to notice it was being written by Orlando.
Thanks, but no thanks.

The bad guy in Wasp is gonna be Hanktron, isn't it?
Just that Jan doesn't exactly have a distinctive list of enemies who are uniquely hers.
(And no, Hank does not count.)

[beyondthefringe]

There's always Whirlwind.
Though since this is written by Ewing, time to scour Jan's earliest adventures for the most obscure characters possible.

[cainofdreaming]

Hmm, was Jan around for any of the times Hank fought the Scarlet Beetle?

[lordultimus]

There was one time where a criminal stole Giant-Man's equipment and Jan had to fight him.

[cygnia]

Living Eraser!

[mastermahan]

The Rita DeMara Yellowjacket, Hank's ex-assistant and fling partner who stole one of his suits? She wasn't a villain long, and Jan's not the sort to hold any ire towards someone for sleeping with her ex, but she was still the closest thing to a villainous Wasp.

[beyondthefringe]

I wouldn't mind getting Rita back. I always felt like she was doing fine in Guardians of the Galaxy, and then got yoinked from that title to time travel back to the present and immediately get murdered in The Crossing which was not a fate she deserved.

(Was she really a fling? I remember her stealing the costume but she never struck me as particularly associated with Hank Pym otherwise. But then again, it's been a while.)

I hate that Yellowjacket has become known better as a male villain, courtesy of Darren Cross and MCU synergy.

[mastermahan]

I don't think it's mentioned in her debut issue, where she's a burglar with an unexplained connection to Hank, but yes, that's Rita's story. Hank had a post-divorce fling with his research assistant. It ended badly because of course it did, he's Hank Pym.

She deserved a better fate than dying for The Crossing of all stories.

[scorntx]

C'mooon, Wobows!

*checks wiki*
Oh.
...
Damn it, Cantwell...

[akodo_rokku]

I suspect Ewing's building towards bringing Hank back somehow, and I can't think of anyone better than Jan and Nadia to save him.

Of course we can't forget there was a period where Hank *himself* was the Wasp in Jan's honor.

[scorntx]

-we can't forget there was a period where Hank *himself* was the Wasp-

True.
Just because it was written by Slott doesn't mean it didn't happen.

[beyondthefringe]

It wasn't that bad of a period, to be honest. I enjoyed some the stories coming out around that point.

And you know, if Ewing really is going to rescue/rehabilitate/revive Hank Pym... eh, why not? I really, really hated the whole Pym/Tron method of killing Hank off and if there's a way to undo it, cool.

[iamrman]

About time Wanda got her own series again. A Joe Fixit mini as well? Colour me excited!

[numeronone]

"I never thought Mister Sinister would fuck up MY reality," sobs Nathaniel Essex clone who is at least 8% responsible for empowering the Mister Sinister Fucks Up All Realities All The Time No Gods No Masters Hate The Game Not The Playa Movement

[numeronone]

Gotta love that all these "Dark Web" covers feature strands of web that are very much glowing in bioluminescent green.

[shakalooloo]

Should've gone with Dank Web.

[numeronone]

What about Scarlet Goblin?

[cainofdreaming]

Hey, they need to save some codenames for their future kid/clone.

[stubbleupdate]

Kasia Nie is the new name for Kate Niemczyk, who drew Chelsea Cain's Mockingbird. She's excellent.

[stubbleupdate]

The important thing is, Strange is still there.

[tripodeca113]

oh whatever could Mary Jane and Black Cat's secret be...

[giraffesforever]

Did Sinister-Cap grow a goatee because he's evil, or did Sinister put a goatee on Cap to make him evil?

[akodo_rokku]

So hey has Scott Summers EVER apologized to Madelyn Pryor? Like now it'd probably be too little too late, but still.
