So, we all know that
Marvel's creative strategy for the past few years has been to...
borrow heavily...from DC.
Still, they
can't keep that up, can they?
Well,
yesterday Marvel announced a spin-off of the
Chaos War event,
Chaos War: Dead Avengers. Written by
Fred Van Lente and drawn by
Tom Grummett, it features a whole bunch of Avengers--
back from the dead!! (Really--like we needed
Dr. Druid resurrected?)
Today,
they announced Chaos War: Alpha Flight, starring--
you guessed it--all the original, dead members of Alpha Flight brought back to life.
Sigh.Obviously, there will be more announcements to come--
Chaos War: Spider-Man, reviving
Gwen Stacy and Uncle Ben, anyone?--and I wager
50,000 quatloos that some of the dead will be permanently revived.
Geez louise, Marvel, couldn't you even wait a full
year until you ripped off
Blackest Night?!? Really?? You're that desperate for ideas?!?
