<br />
The event of the year has just begun, with the Watcher getting shot and blood's everywhere.<br />
<br />
All hell broke lose when they realize the killer has not only taken the Watcher's eyes, but also what he kept in his liar. To recap, Watcher has almost anything the whole Universe has to offer, all the most powerful weapons and tools including the ultimate nullifier, and tons of unknown techs. Not to mention the eye that kept all the secrets are now being held by someone, or more likely "someones".<br />
<br />
That's it on the content for now, since this might be one of the better written events in years as long as the ending is convincing. Moving on to the character choices, this event does not disappoint in teaming up heroes from different teams, with Ant Man and Black Panther with Emma Frost, and also Doctor Strange alongside Punisher, in addition to the return of original Nick Fury! And of course, the old boring rule that Captain America, Wolverine, Thor and Iron Man has to appear everytime.... boo<br />
<br />
Last but not least, events also means lots of variant covers apart from having the writers trashing characters they don't like. Original Sin features the usual Deadpool and Scottie Young variant, and also an interlocking variant, as shown below.<br />

Even this event totally violated the time travel rule (not far behind Age of Ultron, which also abused the time travel concept), it is fascinating to see the dynamic between the huge amount of characters. It does have major impact on the present day Marvel Universe, let alone changes of rosters in the X-men teams. And of course it raises a lot of question (which they say will lead to the big X-men event next year).</div>

<br />
Back to the comics, Infinity finally sstarts to make some sense. A whole issue (issue 1) of I-don't-know-what-really-happened, introducing builders, and having Thanos, Inhumans, possibly everything Marvel have left in the cold for the past few years make a come back all at once. The latest change of events is that Thanos is actually hunting for his son!?! OMG! This better not disappoint me like Age of Ultron (which ended not long ago, April 2013, another totally horrible ending)<br />

But on a wider scope, Marvel has once again successfully jam packed so many events in one year (apart from the ones mentioned above, there's also events like Enemy within, which I skipped out on), and I have no idea which one among the lots is the main event, or maybe there's no such thing anymore.<br />
<br />
Moving on to DC, Trinity War just ended last week; and now we have Forever Evil and the Villains month, so seem like DC doesn't want to let Marvel get all that event frenzy.<br />
<br />

I actually missed out the first issue on Trinity War, but surprising;y I didn't seem to miss out on anything at all, and that to me is not a really good event, though I have to admit that is better than the ones by Marvel (AvX or AoU), at least everything seemed to make sense, and I like the part where there's a traitor (a bit cheesy, but it worked for me).<br />
<br />
And also, I have to say that the 3D covers look legit, and having to cost the same as most Marvel comics just made it even better. However, I have no idea that these one shots actually have nothing to do with whatever comic it took over for the week, and also some happen to be tie-ins with the main event and some are to be continued in another series, and that is really confusing for me. For example, JLA this week is Deadshot#1 which have nothing to do with JLA, it was sort of like a story of his origin and his present status with Forever Evil in play (maybe it is a tie-in too), and it said to be continued in Suicide Squad. Omg, I only buy this because I am reading JLA, I would have bought Joker or Poison Ivy if I know they have nothing to do with the original comics line.<br />

Over all, I would rather see villains fight against each other (I guess that's what gonna happen as the cover of future Forever evil does have villains fighting each other, and they just can't afford to stop all other comics series to give ways for villains that long, can they?).<br />

<br />
But is bringing back Marvel Legends a smart choice for the company? My answer would be no. And here is why.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnJJH5BnqBhjjeNLmLxup1jmt6gc4CJgbuKcZB9myAq5jl07sGSnZm7wkQ0_8VeW2b1YV9KbXi-9qjYj5mwNVhhr2pM46kZQ-R2AJxCLZMLBJlPMcQ1o82FeyfsFy-cSGgjXiDmpQUJiDa/s1600/PackagedToad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnJJH5BnqBhjjeNLmLxup1jmt6gc4CJgbuKcZB9myAq5jl07sGSnZm7wkQ0_8VeW2b1YV9KbXi-9qjYj5mwNVhhr2pM46kZQ-R2AJxCLZMLBJlPMcQ1o82FeyfsFy-cSGgjXiDmpQUJiDa/s1600/PackagedToad.jpg" height="320" width="205" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Series 1 Marvel Legends </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Looking back on the previous Marvel Legend series, the first ones feature a classic hero or villain that you must have heard of even you didn't read the comics, including Electra, Spiderman and more; and along with the figure is a comic book and also a nice 'scene' which also acts as the figure stand, the 'scene' is always at least twice as big as the character, making it truly a background instead of a boring piece of plastic. (Imagine something like the ones you get from diamond select and make it ten times better, then it is what you'll get with the earliest Marvel Legends.)<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sentinel Series with BAF <br />(notice the size of Sentinel's leg)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Possibly having the figure and a really beautiful setting (and a real comic book) cost quite something, as the settings never appeared in the following series, which was replaced by the BAF parts, in long build-a-figure parts. Which once again, the figure is mostly a well-known hero or villain like Daredevil, Cyclops, Mystique and Angel. And the BAFs are even more impressive as it features some of the most notorious villains like Galactus and Sentinel, some other series include heroes like Giant man as the BAF. The BAF usually is twice as tall as the normal figures included in each pack if not higher, (or fatter in some specific case) And of course, it comes with a legit comic book and some even comes with exclusive game cards as a bonus. Variant figures are included for some figures, like Storm's Mohawk, Cyclops's X-force uniform and so on.<br />
<br />
And now, look at the renewed Marvel Legends, the only thing that's improved is that the some figures looked better than the old ones and that it comes with a colorful package; however, no comics, no game cards and of course no beautiful backdrop, what a bummer.<br />
<br />
On top of that, the BAF included is a less interesting villain in the first two series after the renewal and they already are being shortened in height as they only stand a little taller than other figures, not twice as tall like the old ones. Also, it starts to include less familiar characters like protector or moonstone and even someone like Sentry who died a long time ago, some may say you know the character well, but the truth is, if you are not a comic fan, you wouldn't know who the heck protector is. Also, variants nowadays does not only mean a slightly difference between characters, but sometimes it is even a different character, for example Punisher and Blade is regarded as the same figure as they are in the same 'category'. meaning that if someone buy a set, you will not be able to get all the different characters.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
If that is not a strong enough reason to say that bringing back Marvel Legend is actually a dumb decision, look at series 3, which didn't even have a BAF, as it is being replaced by a piece of plastic as the figure stand. Even though BAF is back from series 4, but they chose rocket racoon (acceptable) and hit monkey, Really!? Hit Monkey, how many people actually know about the monkey with high agility? I'm sure not much. And the size of the BAF is tiny tiny, as the characters they chose are really tiny tiny in the Marvel Universe. Again, what the heck?! My suggestion will be to use wasp and ant man as the future BAFs so actually they don't have to put in any BAF parts as they are too too tiny and no one would have been able to see it anyways.<br />
<br />
As for the final reason why I don't like the new Marvel Legends, the old ones cost half as much as the new ones, can't believe that can you.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15128820809717615380noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1945370045821122085.post-33899731012977146712013-05-02T16:41:00.001-07:002013-05-05T16:34:37.964-07:00Iron Man 3, just don't get so excited (yet)<p>Spoiler alert: If u hv not seen the movie and still want to get surprised in the theatre, DO NOT continue reading.</p>
<p>Iron Man is everywhere.</p>
<p>That is not a bald statement as Iron Man is literally all over the place, billboards and advertisements, figures and IM costumes, he even managed to make it onto food wrappers. This has truly become the Iron Man month as Iron Man already took up more than half of the show times in theatres. But is the movie really that well?</p>
<p>Pros:<br>
1. Finally a superhero film that includes girl power, and Potts did time after time proved it.</p>
<p>2. A party of Iron Man armors is the final showdown that is sure to wow our eyes (too bad they didn't focus on the specific powers pf each one)</p>
<p>3. The scene after the credits was pretty funny, and of course that's gotta do with Avengers 2</p>
<p>Badly bad:<br>
1. Mandarin was a completely different person from the comics. The once Asian looking villain that can do more than just playing with lightning and fire has become a dumb actor which was hired by Killian and thought being Mandarin was part of a performance.</p>
<p>2. People that was in the Extremis program can endure different a level of damage though they <br>
pretty much went throught the same 'training' process.</p>
<p>3. Pepper can manage to destroy an armor with one punch and then use a part of the armor to get Killian. But she failed to put the armor into action when she was given Mk 42 to use earlier, so the Extremis also help her to learn to use the armor?</p>
<p>But afterall, it's still a pretty good film (the alteration to Mandarin is definitely not though)<br>

Marvel Beginnings is said to be one of the card sets with the biggest base set, which is a total of 540 cards. With a ton of inserts like micromotion, die-cut, and more rares one like hologram and autograph. And here, I'll be doing a review on the separate cards across the series.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Base Card:</b></span><br />
The base card includes a modern image of the character with also their first appearance inscribed in the small square. While at the back, it includes the info on the character's first appearance and his/her story on entering the Marvel world.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Base Card:</b></span><br />
Micromotion cards has a hit rate of (1:2packs), it actually looks pretty good in hand, which is a relatively well-done among such high hit rate inserts. The back of the card includes a short passage concerning the character, it may be their bio, one of their important chapters in Marvel or just something interesting but not well-known among fans. Unlike base cards, micromotions have different designs in the 3 parts of Marvel Beginnings.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Die-cut cards:</b></span><br />
Die-cut cards has the same hit rate like micromotion cards (1:2 packs). Usually each pack contains either a die-cut or a micromotion, but in rare cases you can actually find both!!! Once again, this is a pretty good insert set that has such a high hit rate. Each card has an old image of the character in front and a more modern and recent image at the back. Each part of Marvel Beginnings has a different theme for the die-cut cards, like S1 is X-men die-cut while S3 is villains die-cut cards.<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Breakthrough issues (Autograph) cards:</b></span><br />
Breakthrough issues cards are the most common inserts (one per pack most the time), and the normal ones totally worth no money and have no collecting value. That's why they add autograph cards as an insert. With the autograph card, they also have a certificate to go with it, which the certificate does have a really good print. What makes it better is that the two cards are put into a sleeve, which is very thoughtful of the company (, though most card collectors would have got their own sleeves ready for sketch and other good pulls).<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Hologram Card:</b></span><br />
Hologram cards are always a 'high-end' production, which explains why the pull rate of this type of cards is extremely low (not even guaranteed one per box). Hologram cards was already featured in Marvel trading cards a few century back, but the holograms then is totally different from the ones featured in this series. Sure to say, they (once again) look better in hand than in scan, the character print is on top of the hologram background, which includes the Avengers logo and the 'Avengers' word. What makes this even better is that their are couple of layers in the background to make the card more worth it, both for collecting and in $$.<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Sketch Cards:</b></span><br />
Last but not least, the type of insert that most of us look forward to - sketch cards. Sketch cards is the only type of card that have a wide range of qualities, yo may get an awesome colored sketch by one of the famous artist in the field, while on the other hand, there's still chance for a black and white boring sketch on a character that you don't even know, by an artist you've never heard of. That is why the value of sketch cards also have a wide range of values (on ebay).<br />

The DC New 52 has included a title for this mysterious guy, is he a hero or is he a villain?<br />
<br />
Plot: 3/5<br />
Art: 4/5<br />
Character portrayal: 4/5<br />
(Everything is a fresh start, so there is no 'existing character portrayal')<br />
<br />
<br />
Why yes:<br />
This books really do got me with the mysterious name and also its cover that has this spooky feeling like Halloween's around the corner. <br />
Also, this character seems to be really important in the trinity war, as Pandora has appeared quite a lot in this series. So, is the Stranger a key part in the big event, or is he just someone that is strangely enough not to get involved?<br />
<br />
Why not:<br />
The plot really got me, have no idea what is going on, with Pandora and the Dark Justice League showing up, it just messes up a title that's already confusing enough. This is probably the one title I read that I have no idea what I am reading, the thing about helping people while not really helping them is pretty hard to understand, with also his necklace of coins, and out of nowhere one of the coins ended up in the hands of the dark justice league.

They said there's gonna be a traitor, and there is certainly a lot of 'shockers' already in the first issue, but Magneto? Really? Suddenly he starts spilling out stuff about having the same dream of Charles? Oh lord, please give me a break.<br />
And finally, the artwork, is there only white, black and red paint left in this world? This is probably the least colorful comic I've ever seen, and I mean literally.</div>

And it is time for... variants and designs!!! </div>
For variants, the most eye-catching one is surely Deadpool, with 53 birds? If you are a comic fan, you surely will remember there was time not long ago when a comic title had something like 50 variants featuring the flags of different states. And right in front of us is a variant with state birds, well, it can just be a bare coincidence, right?<br />

Why yes:</div>
<div>
With probably the best artwork ever seen on X-books, you just can't afford to leave the comic book shop without having it. And also, Jean Grey is here, and that alone already makes this title worth your money.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Why not:</div>
<div>
As X-fans probably have the 'Cyclops was right' t-shirt in their wardrobe, this title seems to say 'Cyclops was never right', still continuing to portray him as someone close to a criminal, so why bother reading another title that may just end with absurdity like the AvX?</div>
<div>
<br />
For this first issue of the title, it will be featuring a wraparound cover that can be connected with the second issue, giving you something like the picture below, which is pretty rare and valuable as it is a not a connecting variant like Fantastic Four and FF, but the normal cover!!!</div>

Fantastic Four is closely related to the FF (of course), and you can already see Miss Thing in Fantastic Four #1. Apart from that, the first issue also works as a prologue to the FF, as Mr Fantastic said that they will only be away for a few minutes (due to time wrapping), and they need to find people to take their place for the moment (the FF). In which, we can figure that things will go wrong with both the Fantastic Four and the FF. The two titles relate and can provide double the fun, but also requires double the money and may make you feel like you missed out something unless you have both titles.<br />

FF is back, and of course it means Future Foundation (not Fantastic Four). With a total new line-up for the team when the Richards are gone, this series is really one that we should expect the unexpected.<br />

Why yes:</div>
<div>
Where else can we probably see Ms Thing? A with this team of four, we are sure to get some drama, and we definitely do. Ms Thing quit as soon as it is issue 2, and with the future human torch coming back to deliver the news that the Fantastic Four is killed in their trip to the future, what in stall is totally worth your time.<br />
<br />
Why not:</div>
<div>
If you ask me, what does the four team members have in common, frankly speaking no. Do I think they can make a good team, no. Is the art that good, no. But all those are just theoretically </div>
<div>
answered, we all no nothing is definite in the comic world.<br />

FF is to be read alongside Fantastic Four, and that I fully understand now after FF #3. In FF, the team is always waiting for the Richards to come back, which they don't; so things about the FF will appear in Fantastic Four and also the other way around. But is it possible to just read one of the titles? I'd say that will take away the fun of it, for sure.</div>

<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Marvel Extra - Issue 1 </span></span></h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Yes, uncanny X-men is back in the AvX fallout!!! Though this series about the extinction team is not the flagship X-book, but will surly be welcomed by X-fans more than All-new X-men.</span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">With Brian Michael Bendis and Chris Bachalo in charge, it does give fans the thought that Marvel is focusing on the Avengers and the related characters. With new Avengers series popping out nearly twice a month and only five X-books till now (All New X-men, Cable and X-force, X-men Legacy, Uncanny X-force, and </span></span><span style="line-height: 17px;">Uncanny</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> X-men), and with the original </span></span><span style="line-height: 17px;">Uncanny</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> X-men team working on the Iron Man book, X-fans do have reasons to be upset (especially after the AvX).</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">Back to the book, Cyclops is still </span></span><span style="line-height: 17px;">in charge</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> of the team, but the rooster has changed, with only Magik, Emma and Magneto at his side as Colossus went with Cable and Danger is left to choose his own path (in AvX Consequence #5). And in order to solve the problem of lacking man power, the extinction team is in </span></span><span style="line-height: 17px;">search</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> for new team members among the rebirths (for those who don't know what happened in AvX, the phoenix force led to the rebirth of mutant kind around the globe)</span></span><br />

While at the Avengers' Carrier, there's a conversation between Cap, Wolverine and Agents of H.A.M.M.E.R and S.H.E.I.L.D. in which Wolverine said that Cyclops should be treated like Emma. During the conversation, it was being mentioned that there might be an insider working both sides. Additionally, Wolverine was being judged and was said to be saying what he believed to be the truth, but not necessarily the truth about the whole event.<br />
While being captured, Emma was being visited by Kitty Pryde; and Cyclops communicates with someone (still unknown after the whole issue #3) with some white powder. And Hope sets off to find Cable??<br />

It's issue two of five and here is how things went:<br />
Wolverine goes to find Cyclops and want to find out where the rest of the extinction team is, while Cyclops is hoping to know about the situation of Emma and Hope. Cyclops nearly tricked Wolverine into killing him, and he used the word 'martyr' instead of murder, which I hundred percent agree with. This whole issue circles around Cyclops under the arrest of S.H.I.E.L.D. and also met a 'new' mutant in the prison!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What will happen to Cyclops when he is faced with a bunch of prisoners willing to kill him for anything, and he cannot get access to his special powers? And what is happening to Iron Man?</div>

It all comes down to this series, with a total of five issues, this weekly series will conclude the AvX storyline. I still think AvX is pure absurdity, and it continues to AvX consequences. Cap and Wolverine are the ones trying to save the world and they think mutants are harming the world and have to out them in prison? It just makes no sense, NO SENSE AT ALL. Just have a look on the variant cover on issue two and you will undoubtedly agree with me.<br />

<h3>
<i><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Avengers vs X-men 12</span></i></h3>

Avengers pulled it off again and Cyclops is arrested (What?). <br />
<b><i>For those who ignored the spoiler alert: </i></b>Hope and Scarlet Witch joined force to defeat Phoenix Cyclops, which the Phoenix force then entered Hope. But Scarlet Witch worked with Hope again to drive the force away. At the end, the force break into countless pieces and helped to create more mutants around the globe. And Cyclops is arrested.(Still don't get this part)<br />
I do have high expectations on the series as the team seemed to have the greatest writers and artists, but the ending is just similar to all previous titles. Avengers always win, if they lose and someone dies, they also get to revive like Cap and Hawkeye (I mean Captain America's comic was nearly being cut-off, and he still can come back after he died). But what about Jean Grey, she's such a favorite and she just can't come back to life? Surely, Marvel doesn't care much about X-men, especially Cyclops and his team.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>DC already disappointed comic fans, and Marvel is doing the same thing</b></span><br />
Truly speaking, DC did that 'everything starts over again' and really get on people's nerves; and we hope Marvel's re-evolution will not follow this path. And thank god, Marvel's re-evolution does seem to be more interesting than what DC did. (for more information on Marvel Now! re-evolution:<br />
<a href="http://marvelhunt.blogspot.hk/2012/09/marvel-now-or-never-15.html">http://marvelhunt.blogspot.hk/2012/09/marvel-now-or-never-15.html</a>)<br />
BUT, what happened in AvX can be costly for Marvel. It's pretty obvious that more people wanted X-men to win this battle (as you may see from results of polls from fan-sites, forums and even the official ones), and yet, Marvel wanted this year to be all-avengers, avengers movie, avengers comics and Avengers won!!! (not satisfied at all). I certainly won't be buying any Avengers titles (except maybe avengers arena because they get to kill off each other) after the re-evolution, and there is just so little X-men series that I can choose from.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<i><span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Avengers vs X-men :Versus #6 </span></i></h3>
<div>
Compared to AvX #12, this one is far more better, it does not only feature two fights as the previous issues, but up to eight awesome ones. (For more info on this whole series: <a href="http://marvelhunt.blogspot.hk/2012/07/avengers-versus-x-men-battles-of-teams.html">http://marvelhunt.blogspot.hk/2012/07/avengers-versus-x-men-battles-of-teams.html</a>)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
This issue includes one usual-length fight and seven short battles, using only one or two pages for each fight.<br />
The full-length fight - Hope vs Scarlet Witch is astounding, with Jim Cheung as the artist, simply no one can be disappointed. With this issue also featuring a short 'fight' with Katie Cook, $3.99 is totally worth it. </div>

As Avengers vs X-men (AvX) is down to the final coming later this month, will the tides turn again?????<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Wolverine is on the X-men side of the poster, but his has still yet <br />
to play the part of an X-men, will he turn on the Avengers <br />
in the remaining 1 issue?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The phoenix force comes to earth to find it's host (Hope Summers), Captain America went to Utopia to find Cyclops to try to convince him in letting the Avengers take Hope to custody (and so called protection). Which Cyclops optic blast marked the beginning of AvX.<br />
<br />
Loads of characters are involved, even Sinister (villain from uncanny X-men). Hope fled when the teams are fighting in Utopia. She then found Wolverine hoping that he can be trusted and leave both the Avengers and X-men outside this matter when Hope wanted to intercept the Phoenix force in the moon.<br />
<br />
But thanks to Tony Stark, which successfully helped to prevent Hope being taken host by the Phoenix, but also making five of the x-men the phoenix five. And now, Cyclops is the only one among the Phoenix Five remaining, can he lead the X-men to their victory.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
TILL NOW:</h4>
<div>
Only one phoenix is left and it seemed that everyone is on the Avengers' side, BUT there are still characters not yet in play, like cable, deadpool ... And it is once again reminded that the Phoenix force is for either destruction and rebirth, so will Scott claim the final victory?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>
And will the tides change once again as Cyclops become the one and only host of the Phoenix force?</div>

<h4>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">My checklist:</span></h4>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Hope is coming back to the X-men side</span><br />
Hope will be facing off Scarlet Witch in AvX: versus #6, which was said by to be coming straight out of AvX #12. Or is Scarlet Witch on the X-men's side?<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><strike>Hulk will make it's stand</strike></span><br />
<strike>The green Hulk is still not involved in this big battle between the two parties, will he be joining one of the teams when it is so close to the end.</strike><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Cable will be aiding Cyclops </span><br />
In Avengers: X-sanction, Cable told Cyclops that he'll be needed soon and he will come back to help Cyclops<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Maybe Prof X died, but he won't be the only one</span><br />
The 'Uncanny Avengers #1' preview said that after AvX, there will be a funeral for one of Marvel's heroes, but who?????<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Cyclops and Emma survives</span><br />
Even though Cyclops seemed defeated in AvX: Consequences#1, but he and Emma will be appearing in All New X-men (possibly issue 3) cover, and he might have led the X-men to their victory too, who knows.</div>

I bet there are at least 100 tie-ins from other series up to now, with also a major tie-in series 'AVX:VS' featuring the fights between the teams, and it is one of my favorite series so far.<br />
<br />
'AVX:VS' has a total of 6 issues, the first five will feature 2 fights each, and the last issue was said to be featuring many astonishing fights and fan favorite characters. Each issue of this series comes with 2 covers (issue 1 had 3 including ASM anniversary variant) one is the normal cover and the other one is the fight poster variant. These covers are done by the artist that are responsible for the issue, so some of the fight poster variant is actually better than the common one, while some variants do look a bit odd.<br />

One of the good points about this series is that there are lot of fun facts within each issue, for example the speed of Namor's punch (before he got the phoenix force). In which these facts actually made your reading more relaxing, and you sort of learn something more about the Marvel Universe.<br />
<br />
Till now, I'm most impressed by issue 3, not just because the team I supported won both matches, but also by how the winners are portrayed, that they have a sorrow and pitiful past that leads to their victory in the battles. On the other hand, I'm disappointed by issue 4, their is a tie between on of the battles and I'm sure that's not what I'm looking for and definitely not what other comic fans wanted; moreover, I don't really like the artwork done on the Thor and Emma battle. The cover art of Thor and Emma (Phoenix) is much more appealing when compared to the content (as they are done by different artist). While I don't really like the artwork done, I'm sure somebody else will appreciate the work, it's just not my type, that's all.<br />
<br />
Coming up soon is issue 6.<br />
Issue 6 have this 'classified' thing again, hopefully it will be a good issue, and hopefully Hope will show that she is better than Scarlet Witch, who is actually responsible for the extinction of mutants.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"> It took me two weeks to actually buy extra packs of Marvel Beginnings 1, and I'm so happy of what I got out of it.</span><br />
<div>
<br />
Remember me saying that I'm hoping that there are more packs that contain 8 cards? Well, that's what I thought in the past, but now I've got a great strategy to find special inserts, and it is to find the one or two skinniest pack(s) you can find in a box. Even though you may came up just having 6 boring cards with characters you haven't heard of and a breakthrough issue that you don't really care about. But by doing so, it can also increase your chance of finding inserts, as the packs containing inserts usually have 6 cards only, either taking away 1 base or 1 insert (micro-motion/ die-cut), don't understand why they don't take away the break-through issue one. Maybe you already know the trick , if not do give it a try and you might just be surprised how good your cards are!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
My cards in this pack: 11, 57, 107, 139, B11 and also a sketch from Gilbert Monsanto!<br />

<br />
But since I haven't done anything with <i>Marvel Beginnings Series 1</i>, I'll be doing a review on Series 1 first. I grabbed <i>eight packets</i> from my local comic book store today and I'm not quite fond of the outcome.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<h4>
Outcomes:</h4>
<div>
I bought random packs from this series because I'm attracted to the inserts. With eight random packs, I expect 40 base cards, 4 each for Micro-motion and X-men Die-Cut and 8 breakthrough issues, hoping for some of the special inserts like sketch cards, printing plates and Ultimate Panel Card. (I don't really want the holograms, unless they are X-men ones, which is the ones in Series 2.)</div>

<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
Printing Plate- 1 (The Amzing Spider-man Vol.1 #13, Cyan)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There is 1 more micro-motion than expected as one of the packs contains 8 cards with 5 base, and 1 each for the three most common inserts.<br />
And I only gt 38 base cards at the end, which is 2 short form the estimated number because in the pack that contains the printing plate, there is only 3 base cards. Upper Deck mentioned that packs containing memorabilia cards may contain less than the amount of cards stated, and I wonder why printing plates are classified as memorabilia cards.<br />
<br />
<h4>
What I think on the series: </h4>
The inserts are cool and this is my first ever printing plate. The micro-motion and Die-cut may be the easiest inserts to get, but both are outstanding and I believe is even better than the Villain Holograms. What I like about Upper Deck is that they replace base cards with inserts rather than replacing inserts with other tougher inserts. Even though I've heard that Upper Deck always have damaged cards or redemption cards inside packets, but that doesn't seem to be the problem I faced. The only problem I have is that I want both micro-motion and X-men Die-cut, so I don't know what to hope for when I'm opening the packs, but if they have more of the wrongly inserted eight cards packs, this will not be a problem at all!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Opinions on the set: </h4>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
With a total of over 500 cards base set, it features all the well known characters and also those that you've never heard of, at least I haven't heard of . The inserts are pretty much similar in series 1 and 2, which I guess will be the same in series 3, for having die-cuts, holograms, sketch cards, and autographs. But with such a huge base deck, it seems almost impossible to get a master set without spending a fortune. So I'll only be focusing on the inserts or maybe base cards of popular characters.<br />

It's a Limited edition as there's only a couple thousands around the globe, and I'm lucky enough to get one of those. And as it is also one of the special editions (limited to 16 worldwide!!!), it comes with an exclusive light-up base, awesome. And I must thank 7up for the promotion as I just purchased around 10 bottles of <br />
7up and joined its promotion program, and I got 2 avengers movie ticket and a sixth scale figure!!!!!</div>

As today's a Wednesday, it's also for time for the Marvel Comics. Avengers vs X-men is still in play (currently at #4 out of #12) and as a fan of X-men I supports Cyke and hope he blast the avengers away. I got a couple of the avx tie-ins and also grabbed one of those X-men comics just because of the stunning cover featuring many heroes (No idea why Doctor Doom is here).</div>

Concerning Marvel, I am looking forward to the Marvel Beginnings trading cards which should coming out soon, I guess I'll be buying a whole box as the inserts are really attractive, the sketches, holograms, and the ultimate panel cards, a Stan Lee autograph will do too.</div>
