Issue #2 Solicitation

[sengsterooney]

Wow. Puck! PUCK!!

I think Dale has been teasing us a bit with the "Puck... if we end up using him"... and they bring him back in #2.

For the record, I also ordered the variant (Puck) cover of #2.

I haven't felt this way since 1992!

Why would you put a hammer in a box? And what would you use to smash open the box, seeing as how your new hammer is inside it?

I guess you would do that so "you can't touch this" or "break it down".

Hmmmm...Spoilers...

Citadel warned of the Unity party and even tells Sasquatch he's a slave to the government...While saying that government is being stolen...He seemed to know what was coming.

If you don't know, I can't explain it.

But you're my interpreter!

Thank you, MC Digger.

[cmdrkoenig67]

I forgot to mention....PUCK!

Dana

[cmdrkoenig67]

The covers do seem to provide a strong hint as to who it might be...

BTW, if it is Puck with the writers having decided that the best way to get rid of his "no, really! I'm a normal guy possessed by a demon!" retcon is to have had him locked up since issue #29 or so with a phony running about in the MU for the last twenty years, I will LMAO and buy five copies.

Still v. worried about the traitor being one of Jeanne-Marie's personalities, though.

I actually think that would be fantastic...I'd love to see an additional sinister personality be explored...Totally selfish, arrogant, ego-maniacal and vicious.

Maybe the guy with the hammer is Beta-Ray and maybe the whole promo has a great big typo and Alpha really isn't BETRAYED but rather gets Beta-Ray(ed).

DIGGER

LOL....That. Was. Fantastic. Good on you, Digger!

Out of all the one's shown on BC I can only see it being Grey Gargoyle.
The others would probably be considered too 'top tier' for AF.

However, I reckon that there'll be one of Pak & FVL's choosing within this series (& in Herc).

[cmdrkoenig67]

Alpha has faced Attuma a few times, maybe the hammer-wielder is him?

Dana

[-K-M-]

Yeah it is confirmed Attuma is getting a hammer, so perhaps he could face AF

Dana

I think he's mainly for the Defenders oneshot, but it's possible.

[DaVeO]

I actually kind of like the idea for The Chosen. I don't plan on getting Fear Itself but I did get The Book of the Skrull prelude just so I have a hint of what will be going on in AF. It was actually really good, but then I'm rarely disappointed in Brubaker's stories. Especially when dealing with WW II Cap, Bucky and Namor.

I actually hope the Chosen is NOT an AF bad guy they go up against. I'd rather see someone they've never faced before.

[Phil]

The Worthy?

[Legerd]

Bleeding Cool released them in 3 parts.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Thanks for the links mreeez. Hmmm, not really sure about these character designs, other than the post-hammer Thing, and the pre-hammer Absorbing Man.

I'd prefer not to swing toward the "mentally ill = untrustworthy psycho" trope. And I'd really like not to have JM lose the ground she seemed to have gained recently wrt dealing with her DID. That's the potential downside of the creative team going waaaay back to basics -- there's the danger of some good bits getting ignored along with the wtf-ery. Not that I'm sorry to lose low points like Alpha Flight attacking a school or Mac's increasingly preposterous series of resurrections, but there are some parts that add up to half-decent character progression in there too. But we'll see how it shakes out.
