	Is the Uranian from Uranus? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	icon_uk 2009-10-19 08:37 pm UTC (link)
	Well, he lived there for many years, so yeah, kind of. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dustbunny105 2009-10-19 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	Nah, he was just circling around there looking for Klingons. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	kenn_el 2009-10-19 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	I only hope that at least one issue will be "Return To Uranus" or "Uranus Revisited"! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darkknightjrk 2009-10-20 12:13 am UTC (link)
	Or "Marvel Boy's Up In Uranus and You Love Every Minute of It!" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	arilou_skiff 2009-10-20 07:10 am UTC (link)
	Should it be relevant that "Uranian" is a rather old-fashioned (19th century) term for "homosexual"? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	mcspakypants 2009-10-19 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	So wait, if Reborn is getting one more issue then what about that "Who gets the Shield" epilogue in December? Does it now come out in February? Or did Brubaker structure the story around it being a sort of Reborn issue 5.5? I'm hoping for the latter myself, I don't want a whole month gap of waiting. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	colonel_green 2009-10-19 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	Marvel.com still lists it for December 2nd - it may yet be moved, but with the regular series resuming in the same month, presumably it's either a #5.5 or it will also come out in January. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ex_menagerie993 2009-10-19 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	Curious in all the wrong ways perhaps: From the F4 preview: "*Stay tuned for more details on Marvel’s 2010 Marvel Women Event!" Hrmm... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Marvel Divas 2: Ladies, step away from those credit cards! runs like hell (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_menagerie993 2009-10-20 12:25 am UTC (link)
	That's sort of what I expect. Something kind of bad (not that I thought Marvel Divas was that heinous mind you, just not good either from what little I've seen). Either that or it will be spectacular...maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foxhack 2009-10-20 12:34 am UTC (link)
	I didn't read Marvel Divas, but the reactions some people had to it made me think it would be more of the same. Or it could be worse... Marvel's version of Amazons Attack? (Reply to this) (Parent)

I'm...not sure exactly what Steve is doing on that cover (lifting weights?), but otherwise should be good.

Seems like 50s Cap is going to be the first big story in the run not related to the Red Skull (Brubaker's done a great job making Cap's rogues work for the last 50+ issues, but it's all been so centred around the Skull, which is a common problem in Cap stories). If JMS was writing this I'd expect an anvilicious story about 50s Cap leading teabaggers, but Brubaker's pronounced his dislike for that kind of soapboxing with the character.

Are the AoA going to fight every team in the MU?

As many as it takes to get popular.

	As many as it takes to get popular. God I hope so. I really like the new(old) backup story model as well. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Captain America Reborn 6 of 6: FLAG CHIN-UPS ARE THE MOST PATRIOTIC CHIN-UPS! Captain America 602: OH GOD THEY'RE GONNA SHOOT, RUN! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, RUN!!! Avengers vs. Agents of Atlas 1: M-11 WILL DO A BELLY FLOP . . . OF DOOM! Marvel Boy: The Uranian: Anyone makes a "Uranus" joke dies. Yes, I know where that planet is placed. You joke, you die.

You know what, considering it's the return of one of Marvel's flagship (heh) characters, after one of the most epic comic book deaths, they've done a truly shitty job of organizing it. It's rushed, clumsy, and now they've realised the story's an issue longer? *facepalm* They should have taken the time to get it right. And give Hitch about twice as long to get his art up to standard.

I like how shiny Iron Man is on the third cover, though.

	REBORN isn't going with what I thought they might do: Steve Rogers literally "reborn" in an infant body of himself. SUPERBOY did something similar with The Guardian (another character that used a shield who was associated with Jack Kirby) so it had precedent. (Reply to this)

	foxhack 2009-10-19 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	Are the AoA going to fight every team in the MU? Clearly not. I mean, I'm still waiting for Agents of Atlas Vs. NextWAVE. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	DO WANT. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Reborn: The story so big we gave away the ending 3 months in advance because we had to pimp Bendis' next Crisis Crossover! (Reply to this)

	stig 2009-10-20 12:13 am UTC (link)
	Why do I get the feeling that the Uranian is basically Marvel giving Mark Waid the finger, coupled with a statement that they'd had a mentally-unbalanced evil Superman for years before he did? (Reply to this)

	midnightvoyager 2009-10-20 12:35 am UTC (link)
	cracks up Oh god, sorry. it just... LOL. The second Cap cover there. Looks like he's going "OSHITOSHITOSHITOSHITOSHIT" (Reply to this)

	proteus_lives 2009-10-20 08:18 am UTC (link)
	That first Cap cover is ten different kinds of awesome! (Reply to this)

	kingrockwell 2009-10-20 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	So, lemme get this straight. Steve returning to the main title and Rikki's getting a back-up feature? There are only so many ways a guy can say "sold" (Reply to this)
