The Avengers Are Targeted in Upcoming Marvel Event

Love them or hate them, comics these days are all about the events. Thankfully Marvel has been keeping them pretty much self contained to the core 'family' of titles directly involved. Spider-Island is mainly affecting Spider-Man with some other tie-in miniseries. Schism is only affecting the X-books, etc.

Today Marvel has teased something for the Avengers. Despite not saying much, you get the feeling something bad is coming.

This is all we know. Something is happening in December. Marvel will tell us tomorrow, September 13. Any thoughts on what this could mean for the Avengers? Will all teams be affected?

If Bendis is writing it, Hawkeye will go nuts for some reason and try to kill the Avengers.  
 
 
And yay, another event -___-

not interested 

Surprise surprise. 

So..............wasn't there supposed to be a "Heroic Age" somewhere a few months.....maybe a year ago? I've yet to see some happy moments in the midst of all this chaos, death and mega crossover-event madness....mostly because I can't afford to keep up anymore. You're killing me Marvel. Killing me softly.

You've got to be kidding. Another event? I've got a lot of patience for Marvel and even I'm getting sick of this. 
Instead of giving us useless events, why not give us more series' that focus on ignored characters like Iron Fist and Echo?

My interest in this depends on whether or not Bendis is writing it.

not another event!! this, cable reborn, the one with the hulks, the one with thanarus. too many events. fear itself isnt even over yet and spider-island just got started!!

Great... another event. Good thing I don't read Marvel Comics.

While some of this maybe self contained. Its the tie ins that are the problem. its just a waste of money to tell an avengers story when they could have done a one shot story arch in a issue in the next avengers comic or annual. I see more people in the comic store just buy one or the other, its never both. And i usually recommend (against my better judgement) to just stick with the main series and not buy into the tie ins. And since schism is ending at the same time as fear itself, the question is why could they not tell this story in the uncanny x-men as part of the fear itself story? its just piss poor planning lot of short term goals which could end up shooting itself in the foot.

Marvel..... what the hell guys? Really. CALM THE HELL DOWN. When events happen 15 f-ing times a year they lose their significance.

Well, Simon Williams just took out the New Avengers. Could be referring to that a little too late...

Avengers: Disassembled was good. Maybe this will be the same.

I think this has something to do with Annihilators :Earthfall.

marvels pushing it with these teasers. they lose their appeal if every single little story they think it gonna be big has one. it should be something used with discretion for only certain stories

no more event please!

It's Norman Osborn's return.
That's all it is.

Great. Another death/split of the Avengers. Marvel, here's a quick tip, how about you put new writers to write both Avengers and New Avengers? After reading New Avengers Annual #1, this title has no hope of gaining its former glory. Wait, wait? Ultron and the Revengers join to kill the Avengers right? Spider-Woman takes a killshot meant for Hawkeye while arguing with Mockingbird, right? Did I just spoil it for you, Joe Q?

the target sign looks like an X from the x-men sign and if i remember correctly they said that in the next year the whole universe wiil focus on X-Men so maybe they have something to do with this 

This is going a little overboard.  We are still running through Fear Itself, Children's Crusade and we have Schism that is supposed to come in after but is now stuck in the middle of Fear Itself.  I'm confused enough trying to figure out where Children's Crusade fits in all of this.  How about one confusing mess at a time please!

Dunno why people are bitching already. It doesn't mean all events are bad or if it is even an event. Maybe something to do with a character? Punisher maybe joining the Avengers?

This could be interesting with good dramatic writing as opposed to event cliches like deaths, betrayals, etc. If the Avengers are simply facing a major world threat that has good amounts of drama and layers of smarts complexity without any characters changing in any major negative way that's awesome. We need some of that epic-ness back that we used to feel when reading events. And keep the current line-up of 10, that line-up is the best! (Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Ms. Marvel, Spider-Woman, Vision, Hawkeye, Black Panther and Protector)

Stop hyping these stories as "events" & call them what they are... story arcs. X-Men: Schism isn't an event. It's an X-Men story arc. It could just as easily have been told in any of the regular X-men titles. That it wasn't is just more Marvel greed in getting the fan base to buy another series. If X-Men:Schism were an actual event, then all the current X-Men titles would be reflective of what's happening in that series. They're not. The X-Men: Legacy team is off in space. In X-Men, the team is in another dimension. Uncanny X-Men is crossing over with Fear Itself. Nothing X-Men:Schism related is even mentioned. Only Generation:Hope is directly connected to X-Men:Schism. Sure, once it's done, there'll be roster changes across the board in all the X-Men titles. Rosters change all the time. For both mundane reasons & profound ones. Looking at the roster changes in the X-Men books, they seem to be informed just as much by the X-Men: Legacy & Fear Itself story lines, as they are by X-Men:Schism.  
                  The only real fallout we're getting from X-Men: Schism is that Cyclops & Wolverine are going to disagree over "something", & refuse to work together anymore. That's not an event. It's actually pretty commonplace in team books. Batman formed the Outsiders when he disagreed with how the Justice League of America operated. The Justice Society of America splintered off into the JSAll-Stars over Magog. The incredibly lame Force Works sprouted out of a dispute within the ranks of the Avengers. None of those were "events". At best, they were in story reasons to launch new titles. 
                     All I get from this Avengers promo is that a new story is starting in one of the Avengers' titles. Perhaps it's a big enough story to bleed over into all the Avengers' titles. Maybe the roster will change... again. Actually, I think it's going to at the end of Fear Itself, so, this is likely just an ad hyping the next story in Avengers, featuring the new roster. Don't give in to hype, & stop looking for events where there aren't any. If it's not it's own mini-series, surrounded by a cluster of tie-in mini-series, that also disrupts the stories uninvolved writers are trying to tell in all their other series, than it's not an event. It's just a story arc. Might be a major one, but it's just a story arc.

Marvel..... what the hell guys? Really. CALM THE HELL DOWN. When events happen 15 f-ing times a year they lose their significance.

What a surprise. Another Marvel event. How many that makes it now?

Lmao.

If anyone has read the New Avengers Annual #1 it probably has something to do with that. The last page has the villains about to go after the Avengers.

If Bendis is writing it, Hawkeye will go nuts for some reason and try to kill the Avengers.    And yay, another event -___-

SO. MANY. EVENTS.

Its either the Revengers or Norman Osborn's big plan.

Another event, how exciting.

ANOTHER MARVEL EVENT OH MY GOSH WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?! 
But in all seriousness, I'm starting to lose track of exactly what Marvel events are happening and what they're going to entail.  This is getting more than a little out of hand.  Speculation? A bunch of bad stuff happens, somebody dies, and then we end up with 8 new Marvel titles...

Is this an event or storyline? usually this kinda teasers can also be because of some storyline as well....or is a storyline/event with tie-ins? let's hope it's the first since well, as much as I enjoy some events (not all of them mind you) I fear tie-ins since sometimes most of them are useless or might have major plot points not seen in the main event  yet some can be very damn good and self contained but still hope is just a storyline they are teasing

Again, isn't ever comic book storyline an event? We want continuity and cohesive universe, and yet we complain when over-arching story lines invade other books. If you don't want to read it, then don't read it. Don't complain about everything in comics, because it leads to the situation we're in now - apathy and negativity surrounding everything. If it is an event, buy the tie ins you want to buy, if it isn't and its just a storyline that bounces through two issues of New and normal Avengers then whatever. 
 
Does that mean the story being continued from the New Avengers Annual into the Avengers Annual is an event? OH MY GOD. DELETE ALL OF MARVEL NOW, THIS IS A TRAVESTY. 
 
Seriously. Getting really, really tired of negativity.

If Bendis is writing it, Hawkeye will go nuts for some reason and try to kill the Avengers.    And yay, another event -___-

Pavlov would have A ******* FIELD DAY WITH comic fans.

WOW!Another event.These days I'm really confused in which publisher to read.DC's relaunch or Marvel's events that are happening each month and are 3 in a month.
