THE BIG SHOCK: CIVIL WAR ISSUE 2

[Captain America]

MAJOR CIVIL WAR SPOILERS HERE:














SPIDER-MAN UNMASKED

Wow... I did NOT see that one coming. I mean, Amazing Spider-Man basically spelled it out but because they didn't have it take place in that, I didn't reckon it would happen. This opens up SOOOOOO many possibilities now! The Friendly Neighbourhood Wallcrawler... WITHOUT his secret identity? 2 issues in and already CW has shaken the Marvel Uni to the core.

I can't wait to see how this pans out and I pray to God Marvel don't retcon it!

[Iron Man]

My theory is this: Dr Strange is on Cap's side, I think (this will be apparently be made clear in #3), so when Pete switches side, the good Doctor may be erasing some memories...that's only my take, though.

[Captain America]

I was thinking they'd find Wanda and maker her shift reality or use that giant make-everyone-forget machine Tony has

But I seriously hope they don't. Though they probably will.

Also, I'm not so sure Pete will switch sides. It's been so strongly hinted at that I wonder if they actually want to mislead us....

PS: You know there is a character coming back "In a bolt of lightning" at the end of 3? I sense a Thor....

[Iron Man]

Yeah, and I hope Thor proceeds to whup Iron Man's metallic butt!

[Captain America]

Perhaps, perhaps....... Me, I want to see Thor kick the Sentry's non metallic butt! Anyway, great to see Cap is putting aside past differences with the Young Avengers!

[Spider-Woman]

Sort of. I'm sure he'll still make them go home to their mommies now that he's saved them all.

[Captain America]

We'll see.

Oh, other news: The Editor of Marvel has said that come 2007, Spidey will still be unmasked, so no luck there for anti-mask-off people.

And also; VERY interestingly, Mark Millar has said that:

A: The amount of hatemail he is getting now is NOTHING next to what he will get for later things in the series

and

B: He would rather kill off ONE major character than several bad characters.

Iron Man, thy day of judgement hath come

[Spider-Woman]

Nah. Iron Man is going to survive. Marvel's been going on about how they want to bring him more to the forefront on the Marvel U, and how he's a big major character who never gets love. I'd say that Cap might die, but I doubt that. It'll probably be a member of the FF if someone does eat it.

[Captain America]

I know where you're coming from but Marvel love misdirection. The Editor repeatedly said he hated Speedball and wanted to get rid of him and then...

Speedball was the only New Warrior to survive!

I guess we'll find out in issue 3. Marvel say a character is coming back in a flash of lightning... but with it so OBVIOUSLY being Thor... I wonder.... Clint Barton, anyone?
