@Top Flight Security: I do like Spider-Man a whole lot, but I just fell off. It is too late to start reading that now, I guess I will wait for the trade(s).

Phoenix seems to be clearly part of this event, but is it what is coming or is the Phoenix entity going to help fight 'it', whatever that is?

is this going to be some quick unevenly paced clustermess like identity disc was when it was obvious dc caught fire with identity crisis? looks like their point one is their take on DC's new 52 with new numbers and tons of more head achingly complicated plots which will have you wanting them to make cliffs notes.

hmm, seems Nova apparently made it out of the Cancerverse, maybe that's old news though, I've been slacking.

These "big" events cease being "big" when they happen 6+ times a year. I remember reading comics as a kid and getting super excited for Inferno because it was the climax of 50+ issues of X-men / X-factor build up. Anymore it seems like anything that isn't part of a major event as Marvel is throw away filler issues or simply 2 issue setups for the next big thing. It has all become very anti-climatic.

Is this the same thing that Galactus is going on about? Also why is Doc Strange in a Spiderman pose?

I hope that this story arc is good. I hope this is some big story and a bigger story arc than Fear Itself was. I guess we will have to wait and see

Completely over it. Events are only events if they happen once in a while.

Yeah I agree with the majority here, Marvel needs to STOP on the big events. Excited as I am that the Phoenix Force is coming back, the writers could have easily relegated this to a simple arc rather than a big event.

I'm happy Marvel is using their Cosmic characters again!

So looks like the Pheonix Force is back in some form. Jean maybe? And Nova is back somehow from the Cancerverse.. What of StarLord? And the now immortal Thanos?

And Black Bolt is back too? Awesome!

Ew, I HATE Doctor Strange's new costume. Doesn't suit him at all, I'd rather see a variation the the trench coat outfit than this!

I'll pick up Point One, but I want Marvel to cool it on the big event comics. I'd like to be able to read a title without fear it was going to be derailed and interrupted by another "event" every three weeks.

People complain about the 'event' issues, but in a world/univere where there's that many powerful people, big shit's gonna happen pretty regularly.

@ArtisticNeedham: If it did involve AoA and the storyline from X-Force as at least part of this event I would definitely be interested in this, maybe the Phoenix in question is the Phoenix from that universe (involving the evolved Weapon X?).

Oh well I can hope :)

Isn't this all an Ultimate Universe thing? If so it doesn't really affect me, I gave up on the ultimate line ages ago.

"Point One will be a great marketing tool for retailers"

Exactly. More money for Marvel to take from comic readers. We aren't even done with FI, for crying out loud. And then we have the Fearless and Regenesis going on, not to mention Spider Island. I mean, seriously...anyway, I shall end my rant at this.

Anything with the Phoenix Force is bound to blow. The Phoenix is just too powerful! And, of course, Jean's bound to come crawling her way out of the grave...yet again, which is just so, so, so over down.

HOLY. SHIT. What is the deal with the whole 'Point One' thing? I thought it was just a few random extra issues to cost people money but be good jumping on points (Despite 'point one' being something that would just make new readers MORE confused and wary.) And all of them be $2.99 to be like DC's Holding the Line At $2.99 despite some of the series they led into costing more. Why have we had so many more popping up everywhere all the time? And the Fear Itself Point 1, Point 2 and point 3? And now this? What the fuck does it all mean? Why the hell are they so obsessed with 'Point One!?" I can always count on Marvel to piss me off with their 'BIG' announcements, glossing over their more interesting stuff.

Oh shoot! Those characters are from AoA?! I'm really excited about this team which are springing off from Uncanny X-Force. Can we presume that Fiend is AoA Psylocke? Only time will tell.

NOT a fan of Dr. Strange's costume. He's always been a non-superhero-suit kind of guy. His normal costume seems more like "this is what we sorcerer's wear" rather than "this is what we super heroes wear" and I think that's a good thing. Or just a trenchcoat.

Please no DC-style reboot.

It's not a DC-style reboot. They right in the middle of 3 events, they can't reboot even if they wanted to.

Btw, what's Huntress doing in the last promo? Seriously though it looks like Huntress new outfit but without the cape which is kinda boring, that really makes the costume stand out.

This looks great! But didn't Marvel just had the "Fear Itself" event not too long ago? Does this mean that the Fear Itself event will discontinue or will it keep going and tie in with this new event?

So, that's the issue where the next big events start. The return of Scarlet Spider, the prelude or whatever of the Ultron story, the return of Nova, first story of The Defenders, first story of the new AoA series, something about Phoenix and God knows what else. I believe the story with SS will be the aftermath of Spider-Island and the return of Nova, the AoA series, the story about Phoenix and X-Sanction (it's not included in this issue) will be the build up for Marvel's biggest event in 2012. Just my two cents.

A flaming bird? It's probably Pyro. Pryo is the next extra-universal threat. And it looks like Batwoman is unmasked and revealed to be a guy with a handle-bar mustache. I guess nobody saw that coming.
