Admittedly, "I hadda go fight Kang's army for a month" is a lot more invasive to an ongoing storyline than, "Hey, why is it snowing now?"<br /><br />Somewhere in that run, a discouraged Triathalon laments that he's gonna be one of those Avengers you never hear about, like Mantis or Rage. Hopefully he fares a bit better than that.googumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17843267619711712271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28703497.post-79253136178244262392009-08-13T09:22:06.035-07:002009-08-13T09:22:06.035-07:00I've been torn on having other Marvel books re...I've been torn on having other Marvel books reflect the Kang story. There were a lot of titles I was enjoying as they were, and I didn't really want them saddled with having to mention "Oh yeah, I had to go into hiding as part of a resistance for a few weeks after Kang blew up Washington D.C."<br /><br />As for Triathlon and Silverclaw, I know Triathlon was in Avengers: Initiative while Slott wrote it (made sense, he has those goggles that can see Skrulls). I saw Silverclaw briefly in a Ms. Marvel story. I wouldn't say they're favorites of mine, but I don't mind them making guest appearances in titles I'm buying, so I'm probably indifferent leaning towards liking them.CalvinPitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11815632086057048846noreply@blogger.com
