Speaking of villains taking over a hero's mantle, remember that time that Doctor Octopus became Spider Man?

And banged a midget, then had an argument with Aunt May about what would happen if they ever had kids? That series was totally underrated.

Just started reading Sable and Fortune after buying the first issue on a whim in a tiny comic shop. And holy fuck, it's awesome. Definitely made me give a shit about two characters that I previously knew almost nothing about.



Oh yeah, and the writing and artwork are fantastic. Even though the plot follows a pretty standard action storyline, the art and dialogue have a great energy to them. Apparently, some english chap named John Burns (no connection to John Byrne ) drew and painted it up. I've got no clue who he is, but I really like his work. Here's a preview page with no text, which sucks, because the dialogue was hilarious, but hey. Basically, Silver Sable fires one of her men for eating falafel on the job, and then punches him when he tries to tell her that firing someone without some kind of warning or prior notice is illegal:

The Batlord

*spoiler* If you haven't seen Age of Ultron then you might want to skip this, but this isn't spoiler intensive, so you'll probably be good regardless*

So, who do you think is going to be the next Avengers line-up for Avengers 3? Captain America IS the Avengers, so he's gonna be there, and they're never going to let Robert Downey Jr. go if they can help it, so Iron Man will be there, and Thor is the third cash cow of the MCU, so in all likelihood he will be there as well.

So, Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor are almost a lock, depending on contract ****.

But they've already kind of jettisoned the Hulk, who was already an also-ran character in the movies, so I suspect that if he's even in the next movie, he will have only a bit part. As much as I love Hawkeye for his recent comic book series, as far as the MCU goes, he's even more of an irrelevance, so he's probably out. Black Widow may very well be out as well, even if she's being played by Scarlett Johansson. After the insinuation at the end of Age of Ultron that the Avengers are going to have a lineup change, these three seem to be the easiest to ditch, so I'm predicting that they are gone.

As for who will be taking their place, they made too much of a fuss over Vision to simply pretend that he wasn't a thing, so he's in as far as I'm concerned, and they're not going to include Vision without Scarlet Witch (god I hope they get a different actress to play her). So those two are probably a lock. And if Scarlet Witch is going to be in the movie, then it would be odd if Quicksilver dropped off the face of the Earth, so he's probably going to be there too (again, I seriously hope they get a better actor for him).

I kind of suspect that even though Falcon showed up at the end of Age of Ultron that Marvel isn't going to be too concerned with including him, so he's by no means a foregone conclusion. I hear Ant-Man was good (just downloaded it, so I'll know soon enough) but it didn't seem to have made enough of a splash to warrant his inclusion, as he would basically be a new character who just so happened to have his own movie. (And would he really be that interesting without the first Ant-Man's relationship with Wasp, which Marvel would never dream of including in a PG-13 movie). But I would still love, love, love to see Paul Rudd in a Joss Whedon movie, so even without having seen Ant-Man, I am hopeful.

As far as "new" characters go, I'm officially predicting Spider-Man. With Marvel and Sony's new deal, there's no way that Marvel would waste his inclusion in a Marvel movie on anything less than an Avengers movie. Related to Spider-Man, my ultimate dream would be for a version of the New Avengers, which might be slightly possible with the success of Daredevil (though I haven't gotten far enough in New Avengers to know if he actually joined the team), and if the Luke Cage show succeeds then he might be viable, but I'm not really expecting much. The very fact that "Spider-Woman" sounds like "Spider-Man" probably means that she will never be in a Marvel movie (though her appearances in New Avengers, Spider-Woman: Agent of Sword, and her most recent solo series makes me hopeful, as Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman is awesome). And it would mean the moving of hell and earth to get Fox to agree to put Wolverine into a Marvel movie, so that's probably not happening.

But seriously, how awesome would an Avengers movie with Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, and Wolverine be, regardless of who else was in it? If it were possible then Marvel would do it no matter what characters they had to give the shaft to. Hugh Jackman in an Avengers movie would pretty much double the ticket sales all by himself.

Wasp should be in there, considering that she was the leader of the Avengers longer than anyone else (except maybe Captain America), and even gave the team their name. Plus, she's a badass. And I suppose if they do include her, they'll probably try to stick that butthead Pym in there too. Also, with the Ms. Marvel movie in the works, if her popularity picks up they might give Carol Danvers some role in the next movie, even if only a cameo, since she was also an Avenger.

I wouldn't worry too much about The Hulk. Even if he's excluded from the new movie, they could always add an Avenger like She Hulk to the roster if they still have a hankering for a green-hued berserker.

That sounds like star studded fan service at it's finest. Im down with Spidey but why do you gotta bring Wolverine into it? im sick of seeing him everywhere and the movies turning into "The Logan Show". i wouldn't mind if he were written like a secondary support character but no, he's too popular for that. that's why it made me really happy when Deadpool killed him and rubbed that on his very face on the Deadpool killogy.

i couldn't tell you who will likely be on the next avengers but i hope they keep the Hulk and ditch Black widow and Hawk eye and bring on Scarlet witch and Spidey or Ant man.

I think they should ditch Black widow and bring an unknown actress to play the Scarlet witch. as long as her acting is semi decent and looks the part, she'll do. Bring her or Ms marvel, either one is more badass than the Black widow.

**** you, Hawkeye's awesome. They just need to give him Kate Bishop as a sidekick and his own movie, and people will fall in love with him.

I occasionally read the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics, but they have sadly gone downhill in recent years.
