I'm so waiting for this Initiative issue. Gauntlet has had it coming since the beginning. Hey Chaosbringer, I’d like 5 conescutive Marvel comics in general without NW insults, myself.

What personal flare are you going to bring to The Initiative?" "Well... I was thinking of paper-thin, rectangle fingers for Gauntlet!" “Hey, Steve Uy… What personal flare are you going to bring to The Initiative?”

Those kids he was insulting earlier went up against the Hulk and survived, he was jumped from behind and is on the edge of life and death.

I'll be picking up the new Initiative this week, but I'm really hoping for five consecutive pages WITHOUT New Warriors insults... Tall order, ne?
