Scans for the second half of issue 1 can be found here if you weren't able to get a hardcopy. Just remember to come back to the community for discussion!

Scans for the first half are here.
Discussion for the first half is here.

• Evil women and the twilight sword. For that matter, Wanda and the world turning white. Are the similarities in future storylines deliberate? If so, what do they contribute?


• In the scene where Cap's quinjet is caught in a whirlwind, one panel is on its side, complete with sideways word balloons. Would you have designed that page differently?


• What's the slashiest moment: Steve and Tony whispering to each other during Thor's speech, Steve thinking of Tony's feelings while the world disappears, or Sandman defending Spidey? (Anyone want to fill in a non-Spidey fan what their deal is?)


• On what other villains should Pietro use his speed-stripping technique?

Scans for issue 2 are up here, and will be discussed on Monday, February 29th.

Yeah. They don't ride horses together or anything under Busiek's pen, but it's obvious from the way they interact and think about each other that they care a lot for each other.

That line about magic being a kind of science reminded me of Doctor Who. Have you seen the episode with Shakespeare and the witches? I guess a lot of science fiction plays with this concept, but it's a concept I really like.

It says the quinjets weigh 15 tons each..? So not exactly light. Maybe there's more science we don't understand at work.

So... there are at least 75 tons' worth of jet airplane regularly parked on the top floor the mansion. I'm suddenly reminded of that bit in the first IM movie, where Tony lands the Mark II armor on the roof end ends up falling all the way down to the basement.

Comic book science -- even worse than movie science!
