Or – “What He Means Is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, Real Wrath-Of-God Type Stuff.”
So, Marvel’s solicitations have been making a great mystery over who or what Norm-O’s “secret weapon” is. Last issue, we found that founding Dark Avenger Sentry has once again gone ‘El Bonzo Seco,’ and may have an agenda all his own. These two statements are probably related in some way, and since he is ostensibly the most powerful creature in the Marvel Universe, this could be “crossing-the-streams” bad…

TIME ONCE AGAIN FOR A MAJOR SPOILERS EXCLUSIVE! THE MISSING DIALOGUE FROM THIS COVER!
Iron Man: “Steve.”
Captain America: “Tony.”
Iron Man: “So, it’s good to–”
Captain America: “Wait, are we friends again? I’m never sure…”
Iron Man: “Um…Â This is after Rebirth?”
Captain America: “I… I think so? I don’t exactly remember.”
Iron Man: “So, have you rebooted my brain yet?”
Captain America: “Probably, you’re standing up and wearing your ugly movie armor again.”
Iron Man: “So, we’re friends, then.”
Captain America: “So I can ask what was with the whole “I’m the new Nick Fury” thing?”
Iron Man: “I’m a futurist. It was what was necessary.”
Captain America: “Does being a futurist mean acting like Jan Brady?”
Iron Man: “How do you even know that? You were in a glacier!”
Captain America: “MARSHA, MARSHA, MARSHAAAA!”
Thor: “Verily, mayhap we might lower our arms now?
Or – “Where’s My Santa On The Shaver, Dammit?”
Sometimes the holidays turn into a blur of food and family and spectacle, like the Roman Empire right before the Dark Ages. When that happens, it’s good to have Rapid Fire Reviews: Reading the comics, so you don’t have to!
 Or – “Whatever Happened To Noh-Varr?”
One of the more vexing things about the Dark Avengers title is the fact that, because of the timing of the stories, Noh-Varr (aka Marvel Boy and the latest Kree warrior to call himself Captain Marvel) disappeared from Norman’s team MONTHS ago our time, but has apparently been missing for approximately 16 minutes in the stories. This annual promises to tell us where the hero has been, but the question is, will the answers be meaningful, or will they just set up the next big crossover event?
Marvel has announced X-Necrosha, New Mutants #6, and Dark Reign: The List – Wolverine have all sold out and are going back to press.
Could it be Marvel Man?
I’m sure we’ll find out when Siege: The Cabal arrives December 2, 2009.

“Wait, we’ve been bought out by WHO?”Â
Or would that be whom? I can never remember. But, man, the Dark Avengers certainly look surprised to see something, don’t they?
