Anywho I thought about creating a Dark Reign thread to get the ball rolling. Here is picture of Dark Avengers # 1
From me Im sticking with my current pile that just so happens to be apart it but i’ll add war machine. I’ll wait out on DA, AoA and SW or any others that may be involved.
Covers
Iron Patriot It is most likely to be tony and i can guarantee they are going to milk it for a while.
The Dark Avengers are going to be the Thunderbolts.
Book it.
Seriously, right now, book it.
Today’s Thunderbolt’s issue alludes to that since
Thunderbolts
Norman ends up having Robbie committed to an insane asylum and Bullseye was told to kill off Songbird since she isn’t part of “Norman’s” plan. So Osbourne is definitely gonna be a major player.
From what i understand abput DR thats its going to be about villian and former villians becoming alot more powerfull nad taking bigger roles in the MU and basicly running the entire MU
like Norman Osborn getting a high sit position ( i heard rumors about being the US presidnet but he is probaly only going to take over shield)
The Hood is also going to play a very big role and other examples
and its not going to be an event but more of a new status qou
here is a pic of the DA http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/931/931416/dark-avengers-20081118033045585.jpg looks like the Iron patriot, Wolverine, Hawkeye venom, and that Mar-vell girl
and dont you guys forget the evil Illuminati http://www.emmafrostfiles.com/wp-content/uploads/secret_invasion_wwc_panel_illuminaughty.jpg Namor, Emma, Loki, Hood; the guy in the middle is either Osborn or Mr Negative, and DOOOOMMMMM
We know for a fact that Norman’s going to be HUGE. After reading SI #7, Ms Marvel #31, and Thunderbolts, you know it.
Guy in the middle is Killgrave, btw.
I agree.
Dark avengers
I can only speculate that Iron Patriot is Osborn, Moonstone is Ms Marvel, Venom as Spidey, Bullseye as Hawkeye and Swordsman as Wolvie I hope Songbird lives :sad:
Stark’s gonna get crucified
Marvel confirmed recently that their President is Obama now. Stephen Colbert was in the running too, and a guy from Captain America’s comic also. So Norman’s not going to be the President. Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is possible though most def. Secretary of Defense would be crazy too, another position Iron Man used to have heh. 
At this point, Starks gonna hit the bottle hard once Secret Invasion ends.
But then again you know how these stories go, the villians are gonna slip up on some bullshit but i will like to see how this goes.
songbird
I think she’ll survive and probably hook up with one of the Avenger teams or the Initiative. I would really like to see Bullseye bite it again
BUMP given the day and I won’t be picking up anything until closer to the weekend.
Comics won’t ship today in the United States 'cuz of the Thanksgiving holiday last week, we have to wait until tomorrow.
IGN’s date of 12/3 is veeery suspect. Probably a mistake of sorts. People in Canada will get their books today most likely.
I’ve been reading the Secret Invasion #8 spoilers and some of the Dark Reign spoilers and the Avenger teams are gonna be crazy swapped and confusing.
uh oh Marvel.
It’s called “Dark Reign” because Obama is in charge, also he apppoints
SI #8
Norman Osborne
as head of security.
RACISM!!!
Iron patriot makes me think Steve, though I think it’s still to early to bring him back. In that Agents of Atlas cover is that freakin’ ROM the Spaceknight? I would love to see ROM come back.
What’s with Namor and secret groups? Like a damn fetish for him.
Overall seems kinda a bleh idea, these mega events that are supposed to “Change” how we perceive comics is getting a tad tedious now.
I just want to know why Emma is down with a team that involves Doom and Osborn. Do they just need a telepath or something? I mean I don’t think Scott would be too happy about that if I missed something please let me know, also why would Namor of all people think teaming with Doom is a good idea?
I’m guessing since Charles is out of the picture in terms of someone representling mutants, Emma is the next in line. Makes sense. Namor teaming with Doom stems from the fallout from after Civil War when Atlantis was destroyed which left Namor and co. homeless so they went to Doom to shack up.
I’m surprised Black Panther wasn’t courted to be part of that group considering his countries status.
well its a team of bad guys who got major roles in the MU (group leaders kingpins monarchs etc) and Emma was bad before she joind the X-men and she is like 2nd in charge there
kinda like the evil mirror image of the original illuminaty
Osborn-Ironman= the current big dog of the MU and high tech
Emma-Xavier=Mutants representive
Hood-Strange=Mystics (hood got the demon)
Doom-Reed= Big brains
Loki-Blackbolt= non humans
See the problem with that logic in saying there all bad guys is that Emma and Namor aren’t really bad guys. They are there to represent the factions they are involved in.
well she was bad and Namor i an anti hero but i also don’t see why he is there guess they didn’t have any other character to use
