2014 Marvel Comics Event Centers on Death of Uatu the Watcher - Original Sin

Jason Aaron and Mike Deodato Jr. will be up next to bat for the Marvel Comics event book for 2014 entitled "Original Sin"

CBR reports that this is going to be thematically different from past events mainly because its a murder mystery. The original Nick Fury will show up once again (last seen in Age of Ultron) and acts as detective. The report goes on with naming the main characters for the story who will be joining Fury in solving the murder:

Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, The Punisher, Emma Frost, Ant Man, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther. (the last three kinda reminds me of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's assumed phase 4 movies)

In the span of four months, we'll be seeing how this occured and the massive fallout. Remember, The Watcher keeps track of everything everybody in the 616 does, which will lead in to ORIGINAL SIN # 0 by Mark Waid and Jim Cheung.

And it seems that this went under the radar because the first legit teaser came out in November 2013 in the form of a postcard from the House of Ideas.

New Avengers # 8 Spoilers - Atlantis versus Wakanda

Black Panther can be an asshole sometimes as seen in the issue of New Avengers # 8 by Jonathan Hickman and Mike Deodato Jr.

"LORDS OF CHAOS" As casualties pile up in the ongoing war between Wakanda and Atlantis, an Illuminati member is forced to make a hard choice.An Inhuman learns of the Illuminati's plans.Prelude to INFINITY: Everything falls apart.

So Black Panther is still a bad ass in my book but he's also a supreme class dick.

He frigging gloats over the fact that there are Wakandan troops in Atlantean territory.

Obviously Atlantis never stood a chance without Prince Namor at their side. I like stuff like for a number of reason:

(a) It brings tension and new dynamics to a team book.
(b) It shows a different side to a character in this case, T'Challa who is still pissed over the fact that Namor destroyed Wakanda when he was still possessing the Phoenix force back in AVX.
(c) It shows a desperate albeit failed attempt at returning. It shows a characters vulnerability (a word Namor despises so much.)

It's not world shattering but its definitely going to be a big issue for the team in NEW AVENGERS and even reshape the world politics in 616.

AGE OF ULTRON # 3 SPOILERS

Wow! Twist ending that was. Here's some major spoilers for Age of Ultron # 3 by Brian Michael Bendis and Bryan Hitch.

In the third issue for the Age of Ultron, the heroes have started their move to learn more about Ultron and hopefully gain a foothold over their robotic enemy. During the discussion of what to do, the collected heroes list down some of the more powerful heroes who have fallen during Ultron's blitzkrieg attack...

We also find out what the plan is, which will revolve on Luke Cage and She-Hulk...

The heroes plan would be to 'trade-off' She-Hulk to Ultron for additional information and intel. This of course would be done with the help of Cage who also revealed that Jessica Jones Cage and their baby Danielle has also been casualties of Ultron's attack. Meanwhile in Chicago, we find out that Taskmaster, Black Panther and the Red Hulk have teamed up to get more intel about Ultron's cyborg army.

Rulk attacks a lone cybory and beheads said cyborg with T'Challa hoping to skim off data from the severed head. The plan runs afoul and Rulk is forced to fight dozens of Ultrons covering the escape of Taskmaster and Black Panther.

Too bad for T'Challa as he slips and dies during the escape.

Back in New York, Luke enters Ultron's citadel and finds out who's really running things and its none other than their teammate the Vision...

Looks nasty.

AVX # 7 - Black Panther Bitch Slaps Tony Stark

Probably the best panel for AvX # 7 was when Black Panther smacks some sense into a moustache-less Tony Stark.
