The art looks nice in the two pages I saw. I didn't like House of M, though, so I'll likely pass.

I guess when someone mentions House of M nobody want's to even hear it.

I don't like Bendis, generally (there are a few exceptions) and I particularly didn't like what he did to the Scarlet Witch in Disassembled or to mutants generally in House of M. So, yeah, anything with that moniker is likely to get a prejudicial dismissal from me.

I thought HoM was a total piece of ****, if not as aggressively deconstructionist, insulting, and moronic as Civil War. My biggest regret is that I spent $15 on the first 5 issues of HoM that I might otherwise have spent on two or three good beers, a couple of tickets to the movies, or some other quality entertainment. I have zero interest in seeing HoM revisited. RSC

I liked "House of M" a lot, but as it was more of an X-Men story than an Avengers one. I don't have a whole lot of interest in this mini-series, so I'll be passing on it.

Thanks for the links, goldenfist. Even though this series will focus on Cage and company, I am hoping this series will also include appearances by the royal family, Magneto, Lorna, Wanda, & Pietro (and Wanda's "kids?")

My prayers have been answered--okay, it's over a year later but what the heck! Marvel's produced a new limited series- -"Civil War: House of M"--about Magneto and his family in the House of M universe. www.marvel.com/catalog/?id=9723www.marvel.com/catalog/?id=9900

I'm not gonna do a full out review, but I have to say, I actually liked this issue. It really gives you a chance to see the strngth of the Magneto form this universe
