I have a question, I've been on and off with keeping up with the event. Was in Books-a-Million the other day and saw a issue with Collossus fighting Hulk then Thing and Magik fighting Black Widow on what looked like the moon. Someone mind filling me in on why they're on there?

That was the AvX vs fight book that provides more details of every fight taking place during the event. The characters were there because both teams tracked the Phoenix force to the blue area of the moon.
 
Nova got replaced? I didn’t even know there was a new one. Who was that that crashed in the beginning of AvX? Where did this new one come from and when was his debut?
That was the new Nova. That's literally the only thing he's done in the comics so far, but it seems some are assuming he's the same as the Nova being featured in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, who's named Sam Alexander. Not exactly the most reliable source of information, although their costumes are identical.

Haha, in that case I definitely hate him already
 
I could only watch the first half of the premier of that show. It saddens me to know it replaced Spectacular Spiderman.
 
Saddens me more than Avengers: EMH is ending to make room for a new show that fits into that sucky universe.
 
I was never 100% in love with EMH, though I watched every episode. I've grown an appreciation for the Avengers since exposing myself to the greater Marvel universe with Civil War so I enjoyed just seeing these characters on screen. That being said, I think it's lame what Loeb and Marvel are doing with these tv properties: Not picking up and continuing with Spectacular, canceling the succesful Avengers EMH so they can have a unified universe with a new movie cast, no more serial storytelling, removing Josh Keaton's voice in Spidey's appearance in EMH and using Drake Bell instead to keep in "continuity" with USM (only to piss off die hard fans they originally planned to please).
 
Aparently Avengers Assemble is going to be a contination to EMH, sucks that they're going to keep continuity with Ultimate Spider-Man as i doubt that show is going to last after season 2.
 
I didn't know we were getting a movie cast. Not surprising, but I hope we still get to see all those other Avengers sooner rather than later. Hank and Janet especially, even though I hated EMH Wasp.
 
I enjoyed EMH for about a season and a half. After news of the cancellation came out it seemed like the quality of the episodes nose-dived though. Certain story lines that could have been strung out for an entire season were squashed into single episodes, the whole thing seemed a little rushed.
 
I damn near lost my s**t when Thor showed up last weekend. They'd been building towards this Skrull thing for a loooong time now.
 
Has he been missing? I honestly dont keep up with the story of the show. All I remember is [BLACKOUT]Cap is a Skrull and Mockingbird is the Skrull Queen[/BLACKOUT].
 
They basically spliced in part of Simonson's Surtur story and then it seems like they just abandoned it and brought Thor back to Earth when they realized the series was ending.

That's because the writing and production staff that made that first season and a half so good was almost entirely gone for those last few episodes. Loeb and Man of Action began overseeing a lot of the show halfway through season 2 and MoA wrote several of those episodes themselves.
 
Speaking of Surtur, I'd like to read a good Thor story involving him since Idk much about him. Is that Simonson story the best one?
 
Pretty much. Simonson introduced it in his first issue and then pushed it to the background for a while, though, so it winds up being pretty long from start to finish.
 
I'm hoping they drop some hints but save him up for Thor 3, assuming the comic movie craze hasn't died out by then.
 
How awesome would Fenrir make for a villain in the sequel. Then we'd get Tyr as well. Oh Lawd!
 
Haha, that would be cool. Fenrir's been underplayed as a villain in the comics. He pretty much only shows up when Ragnarok's a-loomin'. Even the Midgard Serpent gets to come out more than that.

Personally, I'd like to see Surtur in Thor 3 so we can ultimately see Thor, Odin, and Loki team up to beat him. I love those scenes in the comics, where Loki's grudgingly working with the people he love/hates most.
 
Thor 2 = Fenrir, Enchantress, Executioner. Can't have Amora without her favorite patsy.
 
I hope Sif gets to punch Amora in the face at some point. That would be very satisfying to me.
 
So long as she gets to do something. Balder and Heimdall need things to hit too.
 
Balder needs to exist first. :csad:

And I suspect Sif punching Amora won't be quite as satisfying in the movie because they insist on sticking with that ridiculous Thor/Jane romance. But I still want to see it.
