Newsarama has posted a preview of Marvel’s April solicitations (the same page is scheduled to be updated with full solicitations the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 16). Many of the comics solicited have direct relevance to both the aftermath of Civil War and the Avengers. Some samples:
My guess: the heroes are Cap and Iron Man. (The associated image shows Cap’s shield.)
My guesses: the alleged death in question takes place in CW #7, and it isn’t Typeface that Wolverine is worried about.
My lead theory is that Cap fakes his death, possibly with Tony’s blessing, and takes on a new costumed identity (Ronin?). Then again, maybe it’s Mary Jane or May Parker who has “died”? Logan did develop a personal relationship with Pete’s family. Faking MJ’s death could satisfy Joe Quesada’s desire to see Peter single again without making him a divorcé or a widower (for real), and it could explain the reversion to the black costume, which could represent mourning but is also a costume that Peter abandoned because of MJ’s traumatization by the original Venom.
No guesses…just lots of Avengers.
