The Thing makes his decision

The last time I checked Marvel.com, Fantastic Four #539 was supposed to be released last month, on the month of July. It was just recently released last August 02, along with Agents of Atlas, which I also bought along with Fantastic Four #539.
Agents of Atlas: In the late 1950’s, The U.S. Government let FBI Special Agent Jimmy Woo forge a team of unlikely heroes: Together they stormed the fortress of a criminal mastermind to rescue President Eisenhower, and the group disbanded soon after. Now almost 50 years later, an unauthorized S.H.I.E.L.D. mission goes down in flames--and from the ashes arise forces from the GOLDEN AGE OF MARVEL!
Some of the things I will have to say here are spoilers so if you wanna keep the suspense alive in you, don't read this yet. What happened in Fantastic Four #539 happened simultaneously with Amazing Spider-Man #534. So Iron Man's troops are about to transfer a group of hero captives to a temporary prison. Captain America, on the other hand, are planning on a diversion to release the captives. While the two sides are making all the plans against each other, the Puppet master, one of the Fantastic Four's former foes, are planning on taking advantage of the feud on both sides.
The Puppet Master uses radioactive clay to make puppets of people that he can then control, attaching them to strings and moving them as puppets, presumably he has some sort of psionic ability that enables him to do this. He is the step-father of Alicia Masters, a blind girl who holds an attraction to Thing. He once tried to take over the world but was thwarted in this effort by the Fantastic Four.
The Puppet master along with The Thinker who created a Cerebral Enhancement System which will boost Puppet Masters mental powers, are in a hidden nearby base where all the clay pieces are in position. What Spider-Man sensed in Amazing Spider-Man #534 was the Puppet Master. So along Yancy Street (Correct me if I'm wrong), the chaos began. The Puppet master, taking control of weak beings, creates disaster none of the teams are both ready for. One of the Anti-Registration act supporter died from a blast. It was one of The Thing's friends. So Ben Grimm made his decision not to join either side but to go out of the country and never comeback. So the question now is, is the Fantastic Four going to break-up?

Spider-Man almost died: Give Punisher your thanks

I was supposed to blog about Civil War #5 after I read it but I'm always too busy. Not now. It's Sunday and it's weekend. Just looking at the cover of Civil War #5 tells you the whole story of it. But let's get into details. And so Iron Man found out that Spider-Man was going against him. So they had a little fight. Iron Man tried to talk Spider-Man but I guess no one will believe Iron Man anymore. Spider-Man was questioning Iron Man why'd he put all the heroes who refuse to register in the negative zone. Spider-Man's point that putting these heroes who didn't violate any crime but only wears those tights for good intentions is very cruel. Spider-Man was against Iron Man's ideas and that, Iron Man didn't like it. Iron man said Spider-Man was a lunatic. Meanwhile, the Fantastic Four Siblings, The Human Torch and The Invisible Woman was being chased by S.H.I.E.L.D. units. They just realized that the registration act is wrong and they're on their wa

It wasn't David who killed Goliath. It was Thor.

So it is true that Thor has killed one of Captain America 's allies. Yes Thor just murdered one of his former ally. Read on and light your candles. I just recently bought a while ago the most awaited Civil War #4 . I read through the first five pages and I found myself very sad about the events. Iron Man was beating Captain America down to the ground making his jaw almost fall off. Thor was throwing his Mighty Hammer at every anti-registration act super hero he sees. If you could just see Thor's eyes, it's full of rage ready to take down every one who opposes him. It's just too bad that Goliath died trying to stop Thor. Yeah, it was Goliath who died. Why would Thor kill his former team mate? I have the answer so again, read on. The pro-registration Super Heroes were shocked at what Thor did. Nobody was supposed to die. But Thor didn't know that. It's because that Thor isn't the original Thor . The Thor that killed Goliath was a clone of the original

The Death of Captain America

It has been almost two months since I last bought a comic book, I don't know what happened but Captain America lies dead, having been assassinated on the steps of a federal courthouse. He was led to trial by violating the Superhuman registration act. I didn't know what happened to Civil War #7 coz I don't have my copy yet but I guess the anti-registration team lost. Yeah, thanks to Iron Man for cooking the whole thing up. I've read also in Marvel's Website that Spider-Man is back in his black costume. What else have I missed? Damn! I better go check out the comic store later.
