Marvel's THE AVENGERS Prelude: Fury's Big Week (2011) #1 Now Online For All To Read

Are they selling these?

@GraphicCity...Awesome thanks. Only digital? I prefer hard copies...

It actually raises some continuity issues.

Cap saved Bucky in November '43. The comic says Cap disappeared in '43. So he was fighting Hydra for a month before he disappeared?

It contradicts the previous Captain America tie-i, First Vengeance, which shows Cap fighting during April, 1944.

Yeah, I think only digital although I'm not 100% sure.

It just goes to a black screen. Doesn't let me read anything. =\

@GraphicCity: I tried going thru Marvel's site directly, but the same black screen appears.

Bleh! Don't have time to wait. Need sleep.

Ha.

@GraphicCity

I get that. I just don't like it.

@FrankGarret

Totally see your point about the dates. In First Vengeance Cap is still knocking off HYDRA bases in 1944.

Yet in 1943 in this comic he is going down (so to speak) with the Valkyrie.

Not great continuity. You'd think whoever was writing this would have read First Vengeance.

When did Grif go all soft and cuddly? Did he get rebooted with the DCU as well?

@whatevillurks

I'm with you dude. Cap has to disappear pretty close to VE day - Howard Stark is still looking for him (and finds the cube) the very next scene after the VE Day celebrations. Jeez - 1943?? Do these guys who do this stuff even watch the films or read the comics???

And from my best guess work I think 'contemporary day' is early 2009. Banner in the bottling plant and Tony tinkering with his armour.

yeah it was good

Odd.

At the end of Thor, Fury looked like the cat who got the cream when he presented the Cube to Selvig. Now we're meant to be believe he's miffed about it?

Ultimately, as long as Marvel Studios get everything we NEED to know into the final movie edit I couldn't give a rats a-hole about extra online content.

I read it the other day, pretty cool. Looking forward to the other issues.

@Mothman sorry mate no continuity problem apart from the 1943 date in this comic..which may be a mistake idk.

1.Thor's Return: my guess is he uses one of the natural portals that connect the worlds that Loki mentioned in the Thor movie. I think the story will go something like this: Heimdall or Odin become aware of Lokis presence on Earth and informs Thor. Thor now concerned for Midgard/ jane and eric's safety wants to get back to midgard but unaware of how to get there. Theres 2 things i think that could happen in the movie and here they are:
A. Odin or heimdall inform him of another way to earth apart from the bifrost, he makes his way to the natural bridge and goes to earth. Remember in Thor right at the beggining Odin is telling the story of the battle between the FG's and the Asgardians, huge amounts of soldiers from both sides came down at once, and when you think of it the bifrost didnt look like it was capable of sending that many asgardians soldiers through at once. Plus the jotuns had to have made their way to earth some how.
B. Like in the comics Thor is given the ability to use mjolnir to create portals through space. he may then use that ability to go to earth.

Iron Man issue: They want iron man but before they can allow him on the team Tony stark has to prove him self worthy, plus at that point they only want to use him as a consultant, and yes i also noticed that the chest piece was not visible but thats because he was wearing his Black Sabbath T shirt on top.

Hulk: Actually the world sceurity council wanted Emil blonsky aka the Abomination on the team but sheild didnt think that was a good idea and...cant remember how the rest goes but just watch the First marvel one shot that came with the Thor movie check it up here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPniREtObRM sorry couldnt embed it. plus the matter on controlling the hulk who the hell knws, we will see how banners relationship with the hulk developed.

Cap A: Hes a Super soldier plus he was in suspended animation, its possible look at Walt disney and cryogenics.

War Machine: i have a feeling, just feeling that Rohdey may make an apperance as war machine fending off another city from lokis army if they became global, which may happen, or he may be on duty and may not have access to the war machine suit.

:) hope that cleared some stuff up. Well most of the questions/ mysteries will be answered in April/ May

Avengers Assemble!!

It's not that SHIELD, Howard, Selvig or Tony cannot figure out how to use the cube, what happens is the cube seems to be "deactivated". The Supreme council guy told Fury that they need to "reignite" the tesseract; meaning that somehow it's not working now the way it worked for Hydra in the 40's.

At least that's my guess, we'll find out on May
