HAahhahahHAHA!

just cant trust IGN sometimes, you know?

Never can Lol 

" @Andferne:  he'd have Sentry one shot Bill just to raise Sentry's stats more. screw that! "

Molecule Man> BRB<>Terrax
 
yep. it would have alot of impact.
 
outside that, yeah, i think he will. characterization is one of his finer points.
he's been molding Sentry well with that.

Yeah sadly I don;t think people have the forsight he seems too, I read an interview (ok it was one I did) where I was told he planned things like 7 years out.......Then 09 came and they talked about the 7 year event lol

heh. he's good. i think thats why people are hard on him, especially if he makes mistakes. thats the price of being at the top.
everyone knows your capable of great things and they expect them.
 
back on the Siege topic, aside from Siege #2 im actually interested to hear about whats in store for the tie-ins.

" @Victorian era Nighthunter: Yeah you're right, except for Ms Marvel/Moonstone, Venom/SpiderMan, Hawkeye/Bullseye, Wolverine/Daken, oh and then there's Norm who just knocked Thor down (NOT OUT). Lol =) "

Bendis stated in the Interview someone

will appear.   Pretty sweet.  "

Hmmmm...so correct me if I'm wrong, but Siege is supposed to be about bringing Cap, Iron Man, and Thor back together, along with uniting the Avengers once more, right? So that would explain why Cap is still on the fence about being Captain America again and Tony's still in that coma thing, I guess this story is just about them over coming what they've lost and "died" for, and becoming the heroes they are to save the world once more.

I hope they let Slott write the Avengers books after this, just have Bendis work on the Ultmate line for a few more years again. "

Bendis already guaranteed he was writing Avengers after Siege during a interview with CBR "

From the preview pages, I hope Ares defects. And his first move needs to be backhanding Bullseye out of Asgard. That way, it fulfills the prophecy of Ares pimp slapping Bullseye, and it fulfills the requirements of Bullseye getting owned.

" @Lance Uppercut: he already did, but i wouldnt put it past him to do it again. id love to see him make good on his promise to chop Normans head off personally. "

" @War Killer:   You Really want DAN SLOTT writing Avengers? I'd have to stop reading.  "

" @iLLituracy: LOL you be funny.  "

i wouldnt want Slot on NA personally. i like Bendis, but i dont like when any writer/artist gets spread
out on to many projects. it always seems to take their focus off one or the other. i think the same could happen with
Slot. keep on what he's on and let him craft that into something great.

About the secret weapon of Norman :
Could be mephisto , because DrDoom was always Mephisto's opposite and Both ironman and DrDoom fought Mephisto. Mephisto is way eviler then Loki. And maybe Norman maked a evil devil pact with Mephisto. or it is again the Cosmic Cube. You can undo all the events just with that item :Civil war gone, Disassembled gone etc but i dont hope they make " oh sheesh did we all dream this up all those events just to fill paper ?''  So i hope for marvel sake it is not the Cosmic Cube and it is Mephisto

" @CATMANEXE: Agreed he's getting MUCH better I want to see where he goes "

" So who else has ideas about who the mystery figure on Norms side? Cats and I are thinking Void.  
 
Then of course the death. Rumors follks? "

theres more i should add to clarify. personally, i like Bendis's NA, but, i think the last few issues havent been his best work, definatly he is capable of more and he has better quality stuff out there. but i give the guy a break as well by putting myself in his shoes. the guy is pretty overwhelmed right now. aside from all th books he's writing right now, he's also been manning and planning every Marvel event, and working hands on with everyone else to try and coordinate these projects. as well, he's also one of Marvels personal liasons to supervising the Thor live action movie. so aside from writing, he's getting on a plane everyday and flying to that, and working on that. 
then, he flies all over again fro interviews, press, meetings and whatnot. and his work still doesnt end there. the guy has basically landed himself in  position not unlike Todd mcFarlane did when Image was at its highest point to date. he said in a G4 interview that he was actually writing while he was doing conferances and on his lunch breaks. so theres a good reason some of his work might suffer,
though im sure one can easily pick out another one of his books where his work is of a better caliber (like Spider-Woman for instance, at least to me). bottom line is i think he needs to cut back a little so he's not rushing certain stries, though its likely not to happen soon as he's about as important to the company right now as Avi Arad was. 
 
as for NA itself, i wouldnt mind seeing another person take the regins at all. theres plenty of good talent out there, and alls that will mean for me as a reader is differant stories. so im down with that really. i dont rule out however that bendis could be writing better on that than he has on the last few issue (in my opinion), but given what he's dealing with its also understandable. frankly ill by it eitherway. its Avengers. Ill do the same with Uncanny.
 
bringing me around to Slott. im sure Slott would do a great job on NA. but, i like where he's going with Mighty alot, and want to see what he's molding that into come to pass with his full attention, rather than rising his focus being detracted and the possibility of Mighty suffering as a consequence.

Got my copy of Siege 1 finally. At the end it is not just Norman punching Thor. Sure he throws the first one, but then the others soon start getting closer and throwing punches too.

" @Vance Astro:   Bendis does just fine on NA, which is why it still sells great. People like it. I'm an Avengers fan for over 20 years and love it, as do most of the people I know who have been life long Avnegers fans.   EVERYONE I know like me who has been reading these books for decades thinks that's Slotts books are the weaker ones. HOWEVER his work on Mighty is starting to get good.   If Bendis wasn;t good he wouldn't sell comics it's that simple. But he does, and sells many more then Slott. Slott practically killed sales of spidey "

@CATMANEXE

" @Vance Astro: not sure you got what i was saying. its in reference to talent taking on multiple projects at once. i dont want to see Slott extended because i believe it will affect one or the other of his works. i believe Bendis is a great writer, out i think this is whats happened to him, and some of his works have diminished as a result. i can name a few others that this works with also. added to that, sometimes writers seem to do a lesser job on one book, and a fabu one on another. i think that comes down to just being in their element or out of it. take Fraction on Iron Man Vs Fraction on Uncanny for example. One is obviously better than the other, and thats due to one is the better fit (as well as the thinned out factor). I dont think i need to cite Loeb as an example of the same. Id rather Slott stayed where he's at and continue to develop Mighty in new ways and make that book awesome. I believe thats what jef was saying as well. he was reffering to Slott. "

.If he can't do the job then Marvel needs to lighten his load.  "

this is about the gist of it, yes. and i think they should really. its only human, and there have definatly been moments where i could see that his work was very rushed, and even recycled. part of why i brought up McFarlane, since he willingly took off of writing because he knew he didnt have the time to give it the 100% then.

" @Son_of_Magnus: I wouldn;t be surprised, but it's my understanding they have post siege plans for him in a big way "
