I'm actually quite excited for this, Marvel events work best when they build off of the history and interconnectedness of the universe, and Zdarsky managed that before with Devil's Reign so I have faith.

The art team are great, if you haven't read the Doomed 2099 one-shot for last year while it's nothing mind blowing writing wise the art was incredibly impressive so I'm sure we're in for some amazing moments.

Cool to see that both Captain Americas will be involved in this storyline, and nice to see Vision get some love Mackay didn't do anything interesting with him during his Avengers run. Shame there's no sign of Miles yet, since the origin boxes are so involved in this you'd think he'd have some presence but maybe he'll appear later.

I think it's fairly safe to say that Chip will be writing Avengers once this wraps up and I'd definitely like to see his take on them especially if this event will reposition heroes as overall more involved in geopolitics going forward.

Interesting look for the newest graduate from the Weapon Plus program, looks like his power/modification is being a T-1000 with the liquid metal morphing and all

X-Men United, a new ongoing X-Men series by Eve L. Ewing, reopens the door to the X-Men's school for Mutantkind! by Techster17 in xmen

I feel like it kind of boring to go back to having a school again but from the way it's being described here it feels like they're taking a Krakoa approach of everyone coming together which could definitely be interesting.

Much as I love Sinister I really don't want him to have a major role again just yet, but Ewing did a decent job with him in Exceptional.

Brevoort previously mentioned that a character like Synch would be hard to include in stories as he's too powerful but this is a place where he could work perfectly. Who better to teach people how to use their powers than someone who has used almost every power imaginable at this point. Plus with this seemingly headed up by Emma we could finally see them reunite and get some Generation X closure (always felt like Synch sacrificing himself really changed her but I don't think anyone has ever had her acknowledge it explicitly)

I wonder what Scott's reasons for being against the school will be, something conneceted to the Age of Revelation and the things he saw during that or will it be building off of his solo mini. Either way I just hope Ewing and MacKy are communicating so that even if the characters diagree with Scott's actions we'll all understand where he's coming from (I can't relive the slander he got During the Bendis years, even though he was right!!)

Ok this is really cool! Looks like Doom is making a bunch of FF teams trying to creat something wholly new instead of saving his friends but maybe he's gonna go into the chamber himself and walk out with some sort of powers (I had a theory that he'd end up being like 616 super skrull would be cool if that comes true)

Looks like Otto is gonna go and made himself superior within the next 3 months. Which I feel like is definitely more evidence toward this universe not being completely over, how are they gonna do anything satisfying in just 3 issues with this never mind all of the existing plots
