see that tatoo... that's definitely not wolverine, perhaps the dangerous son of wolverine is taking place. im really looking forward for a more bloody showdown between them.

loki has a lot plot been setting before with thor and the rest of the asgardians, so this scenario is getting more and more possible.

venom's always been dangerous, so this spidey cover is no surprise.

How did it come to this?

Images are almost all out in every marvel blogs and sites - such x-men being laid down by the avengers. Its all part of the Dark Reign twist.

In the post Secrect Invasion, the government assigned Norman Osborn, a reformed super villain - green goblin - by reputation, for team redevelopment to head the superhero team thunderbolts to stop the skrull threat.

When the Skrulls lost the battle and failed their takeover attempt on the planet, as the aliens were driven from Earth, it was Thunderbolts leader Norman Osborn who emerged as a publick hero while Tony Starks took the fall along with many of his former teammates, some of whom are now wanted as criminals.

Also, Osborn given a leadership of espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D., reforms that agency into H.A.M.M.E.R. and creates a new Avengers team with his own crew of villains, dressed them up as the real thing, with himself wearing a version of Iron Man's armor with Captain America's color, calling himself the Iron Patriot.

Things are about to get worst. I just have to mention some of his crew... and probably number will add up.. who knows..
