The Dark Avengers are about to face their deadliest foe, and Marvel has sent a sneak peek of Dark Avengers #11 to whet your appetite.
Or – “When Venom Is The Voice Of Reason, Something Is Very, Very Wrong…”
“Wait, we’ve been bought out by WHO?”
Or would that be whom? I can never remember. But, man, the Dark Avengers certainly look surprised to see something, don’t they?
Marvel announced issue nine of Dark Avengers series has sold out at the distributor level, prompting the company to send the issue back to press. Interior artist Mike Deodato also provides the variant cover to the reprint that arrives on November 04, 2009.
Or – “How To Do A Crossover…”
Hey, look! It’s the much-awaited return of AVENGERS DOUBLE-FEATURE!!! For some months now, the Olympian known as Ares has remained unaware of the activities that his son has been engaging in with Nick Fury’s Secret Warriors. That situation is about to change, and the God of War is about to register his discontent with Nicholas J. Fury. Parent/Teacher conferences have never been this interesting…
The Iron Patriot and Doctor Doom duke it out in December thanks to the team of Brian Michael Bendis, Michael Lark, and David Finch.
Or -”Want To Know How To Maximize Profitability?”
How about a cover featuring not ONE, but TWO Wolverine cameos, while simultaneously containing no Wolverine at all? It’s sort of like the state of having Tea and No Tea at the same time, causing the universe to implode… That’s deep, Ogre.
Or – “At What Point Did Cyclops Become Bad-A$$?”
So, there’s a war brewing in San Francisco, with the mutants on one side, and a cadre of “reformed” villains led by Norman Osborn on the other side, as well as a rogue faction in the form of Emma Frost’s Dark X-Men. Norman Osborn is counting on his position with the government to give him the edge he needs to put down Scott Summers and his people as easily as he put down Tony Stark and the Avengers. Of course, Tony Stark didn’t spend his entire teen and adult life as an outcast and an outlaw, and Tony Stark has seldom been the one with his back to the wall. (Tony Stark also doesn’t have big red eye-lasers comin’ outta his face, but, anyway… Bygones.)
As you might have guessed, Marvel Comics has announced Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia has sold out at the distributor level (but may still be in your local store), prompting Marvel send the issue back to press.
Martial Law is declared in San Francisco to put an end the mutant rights riots and the Dark Avengers are sent to enforce it! Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Utopia Second Printing Variant features the interior art of Silvestri on a stylish new cover!
The $3.99 reprint arrives August 5, 2009.
Or – “We Hold These Comics To Be Self-Evident…”
Today is American Independence Day, commonly referred to as July 4th, as it takes place on the 4th of July, hence the name, and that’s why the song is called Alice’s Restaurant… To all the faithful Spoilerites of the United States, Happy 4th of July. For those of you who are from elsewhere, sorry about all the hegemony and stuff. Either way, it’s time for another bout of our Rapid Fire Reviews, bite-sized chunks of comics that I either couldn’t write three paragraphs about, or ran out of time to cover. Give us your tired, your poorly drawn, your huddled masses of comics, yearning to be bagged in mylar…

Dark Avengers #6 arrived last week. What does Marlowe Lewis think of the issue?
Or – “Boogedy Boogedy!”
Heh heh hahahahaaaaa… QUADRUPLE! ESPRESSO! LATTE!!! HA HA HA HAAAAAA!!!!
Or – “OH, GNAAAAAAAAAAARRRRLY!!”
It’s so easy to blow up your problems, it’s so easy to play up your breakdown. It’s so easy to fly through a window, it’s so easy to fool with the sound. Life’s the same, I’m moving in stereo… Life’s the same, except for my shoes. Life’s the same, you’re shakin’ like tremolo. Life’s the same, it’s all inside you. Life’s the same, I’m moving in stereo… Life’s the same, except for my shoes. Life’s the same, you’re shakin’ like tremolo. Life’s the same, it’s all inside you!

Marvel announced both Dark Avengers #4 and Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk #5 have sold out at the distributor level, prompting the company to send both titles back to press for yet another printing.
With Moonstone masquerading as the new Ms. Marvel in the Dark Avengers, where does that leave Carol Danvers? Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of Ms. Marvel #38, that arrives April 29, 2009.
Or – “Evil Versus Evil. Shouldn’t They Just Cancel Out?”
Has anybody else noticed that Marvel has a tendency to randomly rename characters for unknown reasons? When Genis became the new Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau had to become Photon. Then, he became Photon and she became something else. Ms. Marvel became Warbird when there was another Ms. Marvel, but was Captain Marvel for a few issues until they decided that Gravity would be the new Captain Marvel, but now Marvel Boy is the new Captain Marvel, while the original Marvel Boy is going by the name Bob Grayson in Agents of Atlas. Hawkeye (seen above) used to be Bullseye, and is not Clint Barton, the original Hawkeye (who was also Goliath after Yellowjacket gave up the name, but before the second Yellowjacket took the name so that the first Yellowjacket had to be Giant-Man again causing the second Giant-Man to go back to being Goliath) nor is he Kate whatchamacallit, the Hawkeye from Young Avengers. Dark Reign has really made things confusing on a number of levels, but the question still remains: Is it any good?
