Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

I discovered that Marvel are doing a dark, long form universe to cash in on Injusticr and DCeased.

They are calling it Marvel: Dark Ages (in the Marvel Universe when all the power goes out.) And Tom Taylor is writing it.

Should be good.

It's entirely possible that I'm wrong but everyone (not just on here, on news sites) jumping straight to THIS IS AN EVENT is funny to me, Marvel's done big hype-ups for things before that turned out to be mini-series, and even their FCBD offerings veer between being 0 issues for events like Secret Wars or Infinity or Absolute Carnage and just being hype shorts for the Black Cat ongoing or the Assault on Titan crossover or a Rocket Raccoon mini-series.

It might be an event, it might be an ongoing series or imprint, it might be a mini-series. I don't think anything official has been said besides "people have photographed the super-delayed FCBD story. The solicit for the issue just said it was a preview of an "epic tale" by Taylor/Cohelo, and the use of "epic" and "saga" and the general pitch makes me think it's just going to be an extension of the Conan/Marvel crossover in Savage Avengers. But like I said, I'm prepared to be wrong.

I'm not digging the Cotati designs, makes me a little uncomfortable that they're dressing themselves in something that looks eerily familiar to Native American designs.

Maybe I'm alone on this because I'm not from there, but to me "Native American" means more North American First Nation than Meso-American civilization.

I don't see why the artists drawing from Aztec visual cues is a big deal here. They've drawn from just about every geographical region on Earth by this point.

hey, so were the cotati living in the blue area all this time? i get that no one had any interest in revisiting them until now, but you'd think someone would have shuffled them off to a less important location. so much stuff happens in the blue area that it is kind of ridiculous.

You got me there, confirming that a sprawling event is a sprawling event is a surefire way to know that something is a sprawling event!

https://twitter.com/TomTaylorMade/status/1283448127987396609

It's already been established as not in continuity, so it's presumably not spinning out of Savage Avengers. Could it be an out of continuity event that crosses over with 30 books? Only one way to find out! Or just assume the worst and spend 30-60 days dunking.

When has Tom Taylor written Iron Man previously?

Edit: Oh poo poo, he wrote the under rated Superior Iron Man series.

I was reading the solicitations and somehow came across the cosmic character Wraith and you know how we joke that Cates makes everything about Knull? Well I just found out that there was a retcon and you guessed it, Knull created the people that made Wraith.

I loving hate Knull.

The most surprising part of that, honestly, is that literally anyone has mentioned Wraith in the last decade.

I look forward to a decade from now when some other writer makes comics that show Knull was just making all of that up to make himself seem more important than he was.

The *real* big reveal is that The Void is also The Void from Dave Sim's syncretic religion. And also Knull.

They should just keep bringing The Sentry back and having the Avengers pledge to help him over and over again and they just keep causing the Void to come back because they're useless.

Has Knull ever actually done anything, or does he just show up and look ominous and claim to be the real power behind actual villains?
