Marvel has provided Newsarama with an exclusive look at March's New Avengers: The Reunion #1 by Jim McCann and David Lopez. The solicitation for the issue reads: In the wake of SECRET INVASION, Mockingbird is alive and has returned to Earth after being held captive by the Skrulls. Ronin, her estranged husband, volunteers to help her adjust to her new life as a member of the new Avengers, but some old wounds run too deep. And what deadly secret did she bring back with her that could tear them, and the world, apart once more? It's high-octane action and intrigue as the Mr. & Mrs. Smith of the Marvel Universe take on one of the biggest threats in the world...and each other! Click on the link to see the pages of the book www.newsarama.com/php/multimedia/album_view.php?gid=843

I'm wondering how they're going to explain Mockingskrull not changing when she died. When Elektraskrull died she changed back to Skrull form right way and kicked off the whole invasion storyline. All the Skrulls that have died since then have changed as well. That's actually how they were able to determine who was and wasn't a Skrull. However, in WC Avengers, when Mockingbird died in Hawkeye's arms, she remained Mockingbird. They even buried her. Knowing Marvel's current propensity toward ignoring continuity, this may not even be addressed but it doesn't really make any sense to me. If some Skrulls don't change form, we're back where we started as far as uncertainty. How do we know that Gwen Stacy or the Scarlet Spider weren't Skrulls that just didn't change back. Wait, I better hush before I give the wrong people ideas.

I won't be picking this up, but I have one personal gripe with the solicits. In my mind Hawkeye and Mockingbird are a THOUSAND times bigger than Mr. and Mrs. Smith ever were or will be! In fact, who the heck ARE Mr and Mrs Smith besides some lame Brangelina movie ? I just don't get the comparison, its like they're trying to sell this to some fans of crappy movies rather than true comic fans who KNOW who the heck Hawkeye and Mockingbird are. oh wait...... Bullseye is Hawkeye and Clint is..... AHHHHHH who cares anyway? ? thanks for letting me get yet another rant in.

I'm wondering how they're going to explain Mockingskrull not changing when she died. Mockingbird wasn't a Skrull, what the heck are you talking about?? (<--- still in Secret Invasion denial) Out of curiosity, did they establish who the earliest replacement was? Which character, in which title, was secretly a Skrull first (or close to it)? It's not important... just wondering...

Well, in New Avengers #50 Bendis' so-called "Avengers" keep saying they { " don't want to hear anymore talk about Skrulls" } * I'm paraphrasing here* ---so apparently even Bendis wants to start moving away from the whole Secret Invasion mess he's made Marvel fans suffer through for the last 3 years or so.

Spiderwasp--that made me chuckle!
Are you guys saying that Ronin is really Hawkeye? I haven't read New Avengers in probably four years. I remember some crap about a mystery character who turned out to be Echo (whom no one cared about) but then I read something on the forums about Ronin (whom no one cares about) --but I thought Hawkeye was dead. Can someone explain this immense waste of time and paper to me in a sentence or two?

Can someone explain this immense waste of time and paper to me in a sentence or two? The only possible explanation is that Brian Michael Bendis has pictures of Joe Quesada ****ing a goat. RSC

Can someone explain this immense waste of time and paper to me in a sentence or two? When I told you about Gwen Stacy and BND you told me not to tell you any more because you might not be able to take it so I won't tell you that Hawkeye showed back up, accidently came across an amnesiac Scarlet Witch somehow living with Agatha Harkness (Whom she also killed) slept with her, and then joined the New Avengers. I also won't tell you that he told Kate Bishop of the Young Avengers to keep the Hawkeye identity and took on the identity of Ronin because, you know, Hawkeye was also an expert at...swordplay. And of course I won't mention that the Skrulls somehow replaced Mockingbird way back before she died even though we saw Mockingbird die and not revert to being a Skrull despite the precident set in Secret Invasion that Skrulls revert to their true form when killed. I hope you appreciate me not telling you all this.

Clint is also the leader of the New Avengers Luke gave him the leadership and Clint made Ms.Marvel his 2nd in command.

Oh. My. God.
Spiderwasp you have got to be kidding--PLEASE tell me you made that crap up. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I could itemize how bad every plot development you listed is, but what's the point?
You know I was just thinking why hasn't anyone, over the years, delved into the fact that Hawkeye was an expert with swords? It's long overdue. Maybe Bendis can do a miniseries on the Black Knight where he just uses hammers?

You mean you never saw the Captain America arc where he had to trade in his shield for salad tongs? ...Yeah, neither did I.

Don't give Bendis any ideas. Salad tongs as a weapon sounds like the kind of "plot" that would be hatched in Bendis' fevered bald cranium. Oy vey!
