Oh, and Baal:

Don’t think Nightshade’s penchant for werewolf-creation doesn’t play a major role in this series…

Thanks for the kind words, Matthew.

I just want to clarify: I never said Big Wheel wouldn’t appear in the series, just that he wasn’t technically member of a team… ;)

Also, as much as I hate them, I’m glad Thought Bubbles are now reserved only for the Mentally Gifted.

The title “MODOK’s 11″ is enough to make me laugh a little.

Mentallo and Spot feel like DC characters here, and that’s a compliment. Not putting down Marvel, but I like seeing a different angle on characters.

I’m always happy to see Puma get work, although I agree with Matthew’s statement about how the character has been misused by Marvel over the years.

That was a Skrull Purple Man. Which is why his powers weren’t working.

I thought the best line of the issue was when Mentallo asked if they were going to act like heroes and fight each other. When Marvel writers get in lines like this you really wonder if its part of the plan or inside commentary on a civil war gone too far.

Also, I thought Luke Cage kicked Purple Man’s ass and prevented him from escaping the Raft back in the beginning of New Avengers. But I know he was sulking about in Thunderbolts, too. Somebody help me out on this one….

Loved Deadly Nightshade and was always disappointed her two 70’s appearances were never followed up on. A vicious bitch with a pathological need to never be poor again? That would have been great enough but she was also the smartest woman created during Marvel’s first fifteen or so years and cleverly disguised it with that awesome costume of hers. I’m actually hoping she slips MODOK some of her werewolf formula, which would make him MODOS, I guess. Mental Organism Designed Only for Shedding.

The spot really should be more than he is. I’ve always though he would be a great hero and a wonderful ally to Spider-Man.

“We�ve been wondering what the villains have all been doing while Iron Man systematically takes out the other heroes, and I think our answer is here.”

Ahem…these are just the tip of the Iceberg, a few minor guys who disappeared for a spell. The real bulk of ‘em will be in Brubaker’s Daredevil Run (after bringing back the Black Tarantula, the man has been declared a Saint in my book), and next Month’s New Avengers brings on the Living Legends such as Madame Masque and the Wingless Wizard. You can tell they’re legends by the alliteration. Also, Bendis spoiled the ending to Omega Flight, as the Wrecking Crew will apparently be there as well. ‘Parently, they’ve all been Shepherded into the Flock of a certain ‘Hood’ character…
