@danhimself: I think the SHRA will remain in effect but its going to be modified in the light off all that happened since. HAMMER is likely not to survive Osborn exit because the agency had a corrupt director and was faulty from the get go.
 
Something else will have to replace SHIELD as it too as we found out thanks to Secret Warriors was corrupt or formed part of a corruption.
 
I just hope they don't draw out The Siege like they did with Dark Reign.
 
 

BY THE WAY

 
Can someone explain to me how Bendis got to headline something that is 11 years in the making? I'm talking about this Siege. Or how Wolverine got involved in this to the extent that he getts a high billing, I get Spiderman, I mean Osborn is after all his bad-guy There's no way Steve would not come to Thor's aid and Stark feels like he dropped the ball which put Osborn in power. I however don't get how Wolverine got his stamp on this one and how the Sentry's name got left out as I was under the impression that this Siege business would finally giving us more on Reynolds.
 
The Siege Cabal was great. BMB does a great Doom

@danhimself: Point taken. 
 
My point however is more that the story It self had a enough inconsistencies to be aggravating, Emma can't be touched telepathically in Diamond form, so Xavier could have never taken Scott into her mind to begin with let alone have the Void jump ship and nest himself in Scott's mind. Then there is the glaring incompetence of Fraction himself on his own thread. The Void supposedly didn't have access to her telepathy because she was in Diamond form, Scott doesn't have a Diamond form and while he is no telepath that eyebeam of his is nothing to sniff at. So it stands to reason that since the Void now has Scott, shouldn't the Void have been blasting sh!t to smither's.
 
Hank's gripping was understandable, thou I agree that it didn't sound as educated as he normally states matters. All things considered and truth be told he should indeed leave. We have enough scientist running around on Utopia as it stands and I think he would serve better away from Fraction and I like on SWORD with his half-alien girlfriend.

The only good thing about Uncanny X #518 was that it came out shortly after #517 and that it had the Dodson's doing the art work.

@danhimself: I wasn't following Captain America but I was pretty certain he wasn't going to take it up again. Especially since he at the end of Civil War felt that he no longer understood or represented America, but I could completley be missing the boat on that one.
 
I'm for one am more interested in what his new role in the Marvel U will be, I can't see him as the new Head of a reinstated SHIELD because he is no Nicholas or Tony for that matter, too upstanding for that kind of wheeling and dealing but maybe I'm wrong.

@danhimself: I wasn't following  Captain America: Reborn. Where you surprised that Steve was back or that he wasn't dressed as Captain America?
 
Shouldn't that event already ended but got itself extended, I'm guessing Brubaker's doing?

I DEMAND that Fraction is REMOVED from Uncanny X-men.
 
I was so relieved to see that Dodson was back which is why I picked the book up in the first place then I got to page 1, PAGE 1 and I was so pissed I had to put it away. I might just look at the pretty pictures and skip the text as a whole. Cause for the same stellar  'praise' I have for the man on his Invincible Iron Man rub , I find that my contempt for his run on Uncanny X-men is quiet rapidly matching and is bound to surpass that ruining both books for me.

Xavier, he had, Xavier classify Emma as an Omega Class, I could forgive him if he had one of the scientist make that blunder but to have him have Charles saying it just F***-ing irked me to know end. Sure there were other instances where he hinted at it but this time he blatantly said. 
 
Sure Rogue went from a Gamma level mutant to an Alpha Level one under Carey's run but that is a whole different set of circumstances not to mention the classification change from Gamma to Alpha only requires a singular, maybe two, changes. One does not go from Alpha to Omega without a significant outside stimulus and while my X-knowledge isn't as well versed as some Vulcan is the only Alpha I can recall that became an Omega.
 I get why some would mistake Emma's exceptional telepathic skill to be that of an Omega but she sure as hell isn't one which has been shown several times over and over again over the recent years.
Fraction should pick up a bloody Marvel handbook, or hell wiki it for all I care but get it together and where the hell is the editorial oversight on this crap?

So Dark Avengers Annual gave us Noh-Varr, more Noh-Varr and then some, He went up against the Sentry and lasted longer than I thought he would, but with Bob you never quiet know which powerlevel he is at.
 
I for one dig what they've done with him thou, cause I was SO over his get-up and toys. 
 
What I don't get is the Kree Supreme Intelligence bit that was thrown in. I was pretty sure that it no longer was around which means that someone else is behind Noh-Varr's new direction. BMB not only made up for Noh-Varr's sub-parr and cameo appearance since the inception of Dark Avengers, he gave the character several plot threads to explore and/or follow from here on out.
 
Bachelo's art really did IMO the story justice boosting the already great story. in short Great Annual.

@Watch Dog: yeah I did. I thought it was good given that it went into a direction that I unlike you I hadn't thought off. I mean they sort of suggested characters that we may be somewhat familiar with surfacing but I thought they handled it well. Especially since this to me this issue was about introducing the new "big bad"that all the books would have as a  underlying  common thread while dealing with their own arc s.

" Wait, I have forgotten, is Emma able to recieve telepathic messages in diamond form? "

she's not supposed to be able to, that's why during her Fight with Lady Mastermind in Uncanny 5-whatever, she diamonded up to break out of the illusion. "
Thank you. I was pretty certain she could not. "
She could receive telepathic messages from Xavier during her stint with the Dark X-Men, but I put that down to Mr Continuity's writing :p "
I thought that was him talking, but she couldn't hear him, that's why she ignored everything. "
yeah that was mess up typical of fraction.
 
but in this instance its pure logic on Emma's part she wasn't in contact with them thru telepathy but she knew Rogue was.

@pixelized: I thought it was established that the entire team was aware of the psychic "com-link" as it sort of been (become) standard practice for Scott, granted it was usually thru Emma. So it would stand to reason that she would know he was using this tact.
