What do you think about Dark Avengers/Dark X-Men

The new direction for Marvel
Secret Invasion started a trend for Marvel. It began story arches involving villainous super heroes. When the lines become blurred between good and evil, it makes for extremely relatable and compelling story lines. Than came a comic pioneer Dark Avengers. Dark Avengers was released a few months ago and has become a sensation. DA is the first comic series I have really started collecting. I usually am just a graphic novel guy. However, I find the story fascinating. I love that it is the villains that are posing as heroes, while the heroes are no where to be found. Iron man was kicked out of S.H.I.E.L.D. and disgraced. The story lines, thus far have been awesome. Now Marvel is announcing that there is going to be a Dark X-Men story line and has been posting Dossiers on some of the new members (which can be found here http://marvel.com/news/comicstories.8208.The_Weekly_Watcher%7Ecolon%7E_May_29%2C_2009) Here is a preview of the cover of Dark Avengers/Dark X-Men: Utopia 1.






I am stoked for Dark Avengers/Dark X-Men: Utopia 1 to come out. I love anti-hero stories and there is nothing better than villains (posing as heroes) going after one another in the name of what they feel is good. Great concept. This is why I am more of a Marvel fan. Not to mention that the art work on Dark Avengers is absurdly great. What do you think about Dark Avengers and the upcoming Dark X-Men? What characters do you think will make for good future story lines. Also, how did you about the Secret Invasion story arch?

i think itS an awesome concept. and it shoulda been tried ages ago. some of the choices are odd though. i didnt think CLOAK + DAGGER were mutants, and WEAPON X (KANE) i thought was dead? MIMIC (i was waiting for since EXILES he's always been a personal fav since XMEN #19), NAMOR (1st MUTANT and a DOUCHE),and EMMA FROST. since she's all about being the "QUEEN OF EVERYTHING), DARK BEAST is fittingly but hard to explain (he died in EXCALIBUR i thought a few years back), PROF. X will be interesting to hear them explain it. but i dont even know if there are any others i'm missing other than DAKEN (i feel like he's a marketing gimmick just like X-23 was). so i'm not really sure of at least 3 of those decisions. FRACTION hasnt WOW-ED me yet i think he's over rated honestly (IRON PEPPER POTS? COME ON!). BRUBAKER was better at least. they shoulda just let PROF X die just like BATMAN did. ALTHOUGH BOTH WOULD BE MISSED, MOVE THE X MYTHOS FORWARD!

I gave up on Marvel comics books their confusing and half way done I mean they are still doing comics base off of House of M

Marvel just does not care anymore they might rather make movie then comics

dellamorte1872: Garrison Kane has been destroyed several times, but the weapon X tech in him allows him to be rebuilt each time. Cloak, Dagger, and Xavier are wierd choices for me. I can't honestly see Osborn telling Xavier what to do. I hate Daken, so his inclusion could very well ruin the whole thing for me.

You forgot to mention Weapon Omega too.

aint weapon omega CANADAIAN? one of their government guys?
dellamorte1872 - 5/30/2009, 3:40 PM
Weapon Omega is a man named Mike Pointer. He was the recipient of the Collective, the displaced energy from all the depowered mutants. He killed almost all of Alpha Flight amongst others. He is an overpowered character, but this group is looking to be full of those, having Xavier, Namor, and Mimic in the group too.

It is cool to me in a way that Namor, Cloak, and Dagger will now be listed amongst the ranks of X-Men/former X-Men(I'm sure at some point, as I really don't see Namor sticking around long given his attitude) forevermore. It's appropriate that Marvels first mutant be among them.

true dat @THEMYTH WOLVERINE is an avenger now, NAMOR shouuld be an XMAN for a while! But CLOAK AND DAGGER still piss me off! I like CLOAK and all but they are NOT mutants IF i remember their origin correctly. PLUS WEAPON OMEGA WAS IN NEW AVENGERS before the it was a ball of energy? the left over mutant power, getting shot into space? it was hard to swallow. MAGNETO should be in the DARK XMEN too instead of PROFESSOR X. ANGEL SHOULD BE ARCHANGEL SINCE HE TRANSFORMS NOW BACK AND FORTH. MY DARK XMEN WOULD BE...

MIMIC (WITHOUT ALWAYS SPROUTING ANGEL WINGS!)
EMMA FROST
NAMOR
MAGNETO
ARCHANGEL
DAKEN (UNFORTUNATELY "WOLVERINE" TYPE OF ANSWER)
BISHOP
X-TREME (KINDA A CAPTAIN MARVEL/MARVEL BOY SEND-UP)
ROGUE (COULD BE A SPY FOR THE XMEN)
DANGER (DANGER ROOM OR WHATEVER)
GAMBIT (COULD BE THE SPY FOR THE XMEN)
VANISHER

Yo Myth! I had to make her hair red.
Betty - 5/31/2009, 12:40 AM
Dellamorte: I beleive they are both recognized as mutants in Maximum Carnage (don't quote me on that though) Black Cat was also revealed to be a mutant as well, just fyi. I have MC in GN form so I'll have to read it again to be sure.

Betty: yummy, I know her hair is a dark red color on the show House. Did I say already that I'd eat the corn from her poo?
TheMyth - 5/31/2009, 3:13 AM
HHHAHAAAHAAHA! and LMFAO! Man, you'd be lucky to get that corn!

I dont see too many girls that give me the uncontrolable urge to bite their face. She's one of them.
