SPOILERS - Avengers World # 2

The fate of Smasher in the pages of Avengers World # 2 by Jonathan Hickman, Nick Spencer with art by Stefano Casseli.

In this issue we find out that Cannonball, Sunspot and Cannonball's girlfriend Smasher aka Izzie Dare have been captured by AIM. Sam and Bobby are critically injured and AIM Scientist Supreme Andrew Forson has decides to turn Smasher into her messenger. They set Izzie free and as she wanders around, she encounters the new environment that AIM has developed...

While Izzie is slowly transforming, we find out that AIM has been in cahoots with the Entropic Man.

Poor Izzie. :( Thats now how you treat the granddaughter of Dan Dare.

Whether this is going to be a good thing or a bad thing is something that is still up in the air. Hope this upgrade's for the better.

Avengers World # 2 is finally out in the market right now.

NYCC 2013 - New Titles for MARVEL NOW

Here's a list of brand new titles plus some relaunched titles from Marvel as revealed in the various panels in New York Comic Con.

SILVER SURFER



This one has Dan Slott writing and Mike Allred doing the art. He has a new female buddy along for the ride and a new mission statement.

**People are pissed off at the pairing of Allred and Slott. I don't see any reason why they should hate Allred and the Surfer.**

ALL NEW GHOST RIDER

Book will be officially called "ALL NEW GHOST RIDER" and will feature new protagonist "Robbie Reyes, a quiet 18-year-old East Angelino with a short fuse, a passion for electronic music and a nearly unhealthy infatuation with absolutely anything powered by an engine." The kicker? The new GR will be riding in a supercharger rather than a chopper. Felipe Smih writes, Tradd Moore draws.

ALL NEW X-FACTOR

There's a new team sponsored by Serval Industries and it includes Gambit this time together with Quicksilver and Polaris. The bigger question that writer Peter David and Carmine Di Giandomenico asks is whether Serval is trustworthy enough.

BLACK WIDOW



In the vein of other spy-thriller Marvel books, Natasha will be doing covert ops missions around the world. Written by Nathan Edmondson and gorgeous art by Phil Noto.

IRON PATRIOT



Another book spinning off from IRON MAN 3 with ties to Dark Reign. Ales Kot writes a very morally upright James Rhodes in this new book with artist Garry Brown. It's basically Iron Man 3's Rhodey given a comic book (much like Loki: Agent of Asgard).

AVENGERS UNDERCOVER # 1



Dennis Hopeless and Kev Walker tells the next story about the surviving teens of Avengers Arena. This time they need to infiltrate the Masters of Evil. Not so interesting.

AVENGERS WORLD # 1



Marvel Comics wants to really rob us blind by producing ANOTHER (blergh) Avengers book. This one will be written by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Spencer with art by Stefano Caselli. Tch. Given the caliber of the creative team I'm good but not really happy.

NEW WARRIORS



Chris Yost and art by Marcus To brings together a new version of New Warriors led by Justice, Speedball and Nova. They also have an Atlantean, an Inhuman, a human, a demigod and Scarlet Spider.

CAPTAIN MARVEL # 1



Kelly Sue Decconick teams with David Lopez to bring us the further adventure of Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel.
