It was actually more serious than I was expecting!

Nice touch, tying in Mr. I with Deathurge... interested to see how this all ties in with Maelstrom.

SPOILER SPECULATION follows!!


For real, it was-- if you examine it (and not even too closely)-- a VERY serious, dark issue.

I have a weird feeling all or most of the Great Lakes Avengers we know will be dead by the end of this mini. I certainly do think it will end somehow with Mr. I blowing his brains out and entering his *final* death (as depicted in issue # 1)...

but then again, he IS the narrator, so maybe not.

Anyhoo, Dan Slott is a jeenyus who should be recognized & celebrated for... well, just for being so awesome.

I loved the Swordsman/Hawkeye appearance! Moon Knight was cool too (but when isn't he?).

I'm suddenly reminded of the notion that Mr Immortal was a rip-off of The Badger. Is this something that's been mentioned or am I the only one?

Drake Mr. I does indeed remind me of the Badger. Go ask Byrne on his board...if you don't mind being called an idiot and have the N word evoked. doh! And i'm a fan of the guys! [Wink]

I also think they are all going to die. I think ultimately this will be a knock on Bendis' Disassembled.

I'm a HUGE fan of Deathurge. Infact I'm a bigger Deathurge fan than the entire GLA put together!

Can't wait for the trade!

# 2: ANOTHER great issue!

Had me [LOL] -ing from the first line: "Oh? You're back? Gosh, didn't see THAT coming." BWAhaha!

Couldn't help but feel sorry for Grasshopper... that sucked for him.

I love how the story is being told in flashback around the scenes of what is apparently the GLA's final battle.

Squirrel Girl & Monkey Joe continue to rewl.

Living Lightning's gay?!? POPPING HOTTIES!

And another GLA member dies next issue. Okay... since Flatman, Ashley and Mr. Immortal have all been depicted at the "final battle"... that means either Doorman or... *CHOKE!!* Squirrel Girl are next to die. NOOOOoooooOOOOOOoooo!

I really *DO* care. Who wouldda thunk it?

Dan Slott is awesome.

Are Eryk & Cobie reading this? I certainly hope so... I'd hate to have to send the Ninja Mormons over to punish them...

Just read # 3 and I gotta say...


NOOOOOooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *sob!* NooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo! *choke!* NoooooOOOOooooOOOOooo! *gasp!* NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNooooo... no... no... *wail* [Frown]

Well, we know who the victim is now, and I'm very sad about it. [Frown]

At least we saw Squirrel Girl at the GLA's final battle so we know she's safe until then... *sniff* [Frown]

I have absolutely NO idea how Dan Slott is going to possibly tie this all together in only one more issue, but if anyone can, it is he.

I read # 4! And am apparently the only one here who did. You guys, like, totally missed OUT.

Flaman-- NAKED!! First appearance of Tippy-Toe!! The most unique way of deafeating a foe I have **EVER** seen!!!!

As I speculated, Leather Boy DID make a return appearance-- the bastard!

And as I speculated, this WAS the final battle for the GLA. (But maybe not fo the GL... oh, just BUY it and see)!

I am glad this ended up being lighter-hearted than I was beginning to suspect it would be. I should have trusted Dan Slott!

I always will from now on!

SOME SPOILERS FOLLOW.


Grasshopper died like 3 seconds after joining the GLA in issue # 2.

Monkey Joe died in issue # 3... *choke!* murdered by that bastard Leather Boy.

Maelstrom was defeated when Mr. I convinced him to go along with him in a double suicide. Of couse, Mr. I got MUCH better...

And in the end, since the Maria Stark foundation was threatening to sue them, and because they are all mutants, they decided to adopt a different team name...
