Siege is another “all bark, NO BITE” event from Marvel.

They’ve already revealed the Avengers teams with the exception of the Secret Avengers. Readers have absolutely no reason to buy this title unless they want another drawn out soap opera of one of the annoying villains in the Marvel Universe.

Come to think of it, what character in 616 ISN’T annoying these days. There are very few.

“I hope some enterprising writer, 20 years from now, has Jack and his family dismembered on panel, just so Robinson finally knows how it feels.”

What should happen is Jack and family visit Opal, but then Opal gets blown up by some souped-up C-lister, leading to the painful deaths of Jack’s kid, Sadie, all of the O’Dares, Bobo Bennetti, and, for the hell of it, Space Cabbie.

Jack Knight goes crazy, rips out his own eye and eats it, affixes a cybernetic eye into his socket, and punches Courtney in the nose to get back his cosmic rod (he says something about justice after he does that). He paints the cosmic rod black and add guns to it. The ghost of his brother asks him what he’s doing and then Jack strangles him (and then says something about justice).

Jack tortures and beats the crap out of the souped up C-lister and calls himself “Death Star” before killing him.

DC launches a Death Star ongoing that lasts four issues. The end.

how ironic is that Robinson`s Jack Knight retired to raise a family

I’m guessing Sentry, just based on that one illustration. I’m just shocked that anyone will be mourning him.

When I saw the picture, my first thought was “Sentry? Good… Good riddance.” I hope I’m right.

Caleb said: “Green Arrow going back to killing bad guys like he did regularly in the ’80s”

You say this like it’s a bad thing.

What point, other than servicing the “rule” that superheroes must never successfully raise families, did the Lian Harper decision make?

Yes, “rule” is in quotes. I don’t believe in it.

What’s the most inane one-liner I can come up with?

Hey Kids, Refrigerators!

How’s that?

I don’t see why Spiderman would be “handling” Hank’s body. They don’t have much to do with each other. Also I thought Mighty Avengers wasn’t ending until May and this cover is from April’s ‘Fallen.’
Sentry would make more sense.
Basically, I hope it’s not Pym. I would have nothing to read if they killed my favorite character.

I’m thinking sentry too. and i haven’t seen any other speculation before seeing this.

In Hank Pym’s defense, Eternity pronounced him the “Scientist Supreme” (but didn’t give him cool stuff like Drs. Strange and Vodoo get), so if he died the universe (literally,or at least the embodyment thereof) might actually mourn him. Otherwise, I agree with the reasoning on why he is the likely suspect, and if he died, it would free all the other Avengers from being creeped out that he calls himself the Wasp.

Hey, Caleb ~ Pym is on the cover of The Heroic Age anthology series (the Hitch cover with cage punching the sky)

Seems general consensus on teh interwebs is it’s the Sentry, which is a bummer IMHO.
