NA #3 preview.
Power Man is right, Wiccan is a shitty codename.
>>77429269
And Power Man isn't?

>forgetting to merge these spread pages because these (depicting three horizontal layers of dialogue) if not merged do not make sense
Why the hell is Wiccan getting defensive about this? He didn't like the name Wiccan to begin with. Kate gave him the name.
>>77429264
>contextless generic action pose in a circle
Ugh, what a bad cover. Glad that won't be the trade cover.
>>77429343
might just have grown on him over time, not sure what other name he could take up though, also for some reason Hulkling's Dagwood line is cracking me up
Yay, hopefully Pod gets a little more development, she always interested me.
I wish Wiccan would stop looking like Sasuke.
>>77429343
>>77429366
couldn't he be the source of wiccan magic if he wanted?a wicca god or something
that would fix it wouldn't it?
>>77429287
Traitors? In SHIELD? Oh boy, that's something new. I hope it's not Hydra.
>>77429287
u must respect people's faith!
oh, please, Ewing
>>77429420
Vic is just looking out for him, man. You never know if some REAL wiccans might find out he's a Jew and put curses on him.
>>77429343
I think Cassie was the one who came up with itShe was also the one who convinced Kate that they could be heroes just because they wanted to, and talked all of them in to ignoring Captain America and be heroes without his approval but YA fans seem to have forgotten any contribution she made to the series in favor of America and Kate shipping
Honestly my favorite ANAD book. The writing is fun and cartoony and the art is the a cool mashup of the 90s xtreme aesthetic and the generic manga-ish style.
>>77429420
this IS the same Wiccan who used to call himself the Asgardian despite having 0 connections to Asgard.
>>77429483
I only read YA for Loki's metaplot
>>77429784
That's the only thing worth reading YA for
>>77429287
Is Darja her girlfriend?
So I've gotten kinda curious about Pod after seeing her in New Avengers here, any good runs featuring her?
>>77429269
>>77429275
so is patriot dead, or...?
>>77429822
ex-girlfriend from the sounds of this
>>77429282
>>77429287
>>77429799
Not even worth it for that since you can read the end of Journey into Mystery and skip straight to Agent of Asgard without much trouble
All you need to know is that Loki was on the Young Avengers and manipulated them into fast tracking his body through puberty
>>77429829
>>77429839
Thank you!
Also, Variant.
>>77429842
I feel like the scene where the copy of old loki breaks down and confesses to his murder of kid loki is too pivotal a moment for an interested reader to just skip over
>>77429982
But it's buried in a really boring series and in the middle of a badly drawn battle that is won by the power of love
>>77430013
>Dissing the power of love
Is it lonely on your pedestal, anon?
>>77430013
>won by the power of love
when the whole premise was camaraderie amongst magic kids vs the abstract manifestation of abusive parents, it would have been weird if it didn't go that route
>>77429287
Calling it now, Tippy Toe or Squirrel Girl is the spy. Most likely given how the New Iron Man is going and how a SGs own comics are going Iron Man and Doom both ask her to spy on them.
Doom is in the next SG, Stark is buddies with him now and SG loves Stark. Also their enemy is Maker/Evil Reed which Doom will not abide. Screen cap his post bitches, New Avengers will have Stark, Doreen and Victor working together to put a bitch in his place.
>tfw one of the few people who liked Young Avengers
I like Wiccan.
>>77430276
I would be okay with that team up but I doubt it.
I'm calling it right now, the spy is power man.
>>77430276
the art is so fucking bad and ewing is falling so far in quality...
>>77430325
With all that build-up and being shoehorned into Cage's backstory? To become lameass traitor?
>>77430354
Ewing is great at developing and finishing plots but he's bad at kicking them off
ffs, the art is getting uglier with every issue...
>>77429287
> your name is offensive to wiccan beliefs
not this shit again
>>77430373
I can see why you say that, i'll stick to the book but just lower my expectations, it's just that his loki run was so good i had really high expectations for his future works.
>>77430276
>Calling it now, Tippy Toe... is the spy.
So, they're pulling a Lockheed on us. I could live with that, but only if Tippy Toe is revealed to be able to speak english like a human and has just been pretending to be a normal squirrel all this time.
>>77430389
his Loki run was a golden goblet. he did an amazing job, and I doubt anyone could have done better, but don't forget he got handed the grand finale of a five year ongoing metaplot that due to sheer miracle no prior writer had fucked up since it began
>>77430325
Squirrel Girl is the only white CIS member of the team besides Hawkeye, Political Correctness demands she be the spy. Besides, no one expects her to be a spy even though she would literally shove a barbed wire dildo up her ass if Tony Stark asked her to.
She is Spying for stark, cap this post.
>>77430333
SG would notice if Tippy Toe (Grey Squirrel) was suddenly speaking (Red Squirrel) British, her and Tippy Toe notice French accents when it comes to Squirrels. Also she would notice that Tippy toe wasn't the same squirrel.
Unless Tippy Toe was a LMD? Shield has wanted SG for a long time, they can make self aware LMDs but can they make a squirrel LMD that can trick her?
Or even better: Not a LMD, a Doombot.
Tippy Toe is in fact Green Lantern B'dg in disguise and he's spying for DC.
You read it here first.
>>77430404
Before or after Tippy Toe met Loki and the Asguardian Squirrel God of lies and mischief?
Also Tippy Toe is surprisingly long lived for both a Squirrel and as one of SGs companions, she is well past 2x her natural life span.
>>77430404
Tippy Toe can understand English, French, chipmunk and hold a conversation with Galactus.
She also earns $45,000 a year more than Hawkeye which proves she can negotiate a contract better than your average human.
I assuming this is gonna lead to Wiccan changing his name.
>>77430471
>>77430501
Which begs the Question: Given how both Hawkeyes have ongoing themes of being poor as shit and since he doesn't get a Shield pay check will he mention the fact that the A.I.M avengers are so well funded that a fucking Squirrel gets paid a minimum of $45-55k more than him?
Also if you think about it, as long as he is on the team he is the junior member. Hilariously, this means Tippy Toe out ranks him. Sure he could disobey Tippy Toe on a mision but then he eirther has to suck up to SG aftarwards or if someone got hurt fight her. Clint Vs SG is something he doesn't want to do, even without her plot armor she would beat the fuck out of him.
>>77430428
Right spy, wrong spymaster. SG is actually a secret member of the Ultimates, recruited for her Thanosbusting abilites.
>>77430621
Don't bet on it?
>>77430371
How was he shoehorned into Cage's backstory?
>>77430670
He really wasn't. Luke is a part of his backstory, obviously, but he's not in any way a part of Lukes.
>>77430642
SG loves Iron Man more than anyone else, she is a Iron Man character. She works for Stark and (maybe) Doom, no one else.
>>77429483
You forget that most of the current YA fans only read Gilleon's run, and the ones who read the previous run only did it for Wiccan and Hulkling.
>>77430276
isn't that just one of the Maker's dust mote spycams?
>>77429366
>not sure what other name he could take up though,
"The Scarlet Sorcerer!"
>>77431024
That's just too derivative of Scarlet Witch.
Demiurge sucks as a codename.
And Warlock is an insult.
>>77429366
>>not sure what other name he could take up though
Yeah, drawing a blank.
>>77431024
Wizard!
>>77431103
Maybe they're trying to change his name to Demiurge then
>>77429366
Muscle Mage.
>>77431104
>>77431274
Demiurge is too awkward.
It doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. I think it's the two consecutive vowels
>>77431339
Yeah, "Wiccan" is a nice snappy superhero name. Demiurge is a bit more unwieldy.
Power Man has a point though, calling yourself Wiccan when you're a jew is almost as dumb as calling yourself The Asgardian when you have literally no connection to the asgardians.
>>77429269
>>77429275
Oh my god, that art is so shitty
Why is wiccan that size
Why does Wiccan has these long arms
Why does Powerman have straight hair?
>>77431430
>Why is wiccan that size
>Why does Wiccan has these long arms
He made himself sexier for Hulkling
>>77429264
>New X-Men under the guise of Avengers
hm
>>77432233
>double dubs
does it mean it's true?
>>77429287
WICCA ISN'T EVEN A REAL RELIGION
>>77430412
It wasn't a miracle. Loki wasn't a conventional hero so none of the idiot meatheads wanted to write him, so only the good writers ended up with him.
>>77431103
The Scarlet Witch is his time mom.
>>77432938
Might be in the Marvel Universe. I mean, when you've got niggas like Thor flying around and magic confirmed real, it kinda gives a bit more credence to some of those more out there or pagan religions.
>>77429842
Skipping "Leah's" wild ride.
Shame on you, Anon.
>>77433229
What's the point? We'll never see Leah again. No more waifus.
>>77429420
It's not like Wiccan is a cool name anyways. Perhaps Ewing just wants to create a reason to change the name into something more interesting.
OTOH what's wrong with giving Powerboy an opinion about something? It's not like he couldn't use some character-growth.
>>77431361
What about Assguardian?
>>77433798
Maybe they will spitball, try stuff, have a threesome and come to the conclusion that they might just stick with it.
>>77429420
>>77430386
>>77432938
I don't care if it's offensive or not as long as someone is bringing that little shit down.
>>77430804
I read it forall of them. Cassie/Vision a cute.
>>77433798
The next two issues are Wiccan/Hulkling focused apparently, so he might get a new codename after Hulkling is crowned King of Space.
>>77429287
Knowing my luck, Songbird is the traitor
>>77429269
>Wiccan's name
Haven't they been over that like 3 times in different comics?
>>77430804
I read the previous run for Cassieand Vision
Hated the one after.
>>77433826
>>77431812
>>77429269
Wiccan looks like a buffed Sasuke instead of an uke twink.
>>77429275
>>77429282
>Wiccan Can’t Enjoy His Sandwich.jpg
>>77430745
She used to work for Luke Cage
>>77429264
I can't help but look at that and think it's a super pissed-off Brainiac 5 and Super Boy.
Seriously.
>>77433798
maybe he's going to defeat The Maker and claim the title from himself, since The Maker is pretty much a synonym for Demiurge
>>77438651
To be fair, that was originally just a plan so that she could end up being an avenger.
>>77430745
what about the years she spent with the GLA?
>>77438730
Is there a Catalyst?
>>77439426
that's ISO-8, though it's technically a state energizer or something
>>77429833
Wasn't he looking for a job in Ant-Man?
>>77442239
Eli Bradley was in Ant Man?
>>77429398
Wicca uses deities from old faiths as expies to call upon specific aspects of the triple god/goddess. For example if you wanted to get some money, you might pray/recite a spell/fuck someone in the name of Hermes, or if you wanted to get through a storm safe, you'd call on Freyr.
>>77442476
I'm probably remembering wrong, but I think I remember that when Scott was looking for a job he met a Young Avenger who was also looking for a job.
>>77442239
>>77442513
That was Prodigy aka David Alleyne. He was in Gillen's YA but just about the only thing he did was come out as bi and temporarily break up Billy and Teddy's relationship and then got them back together
>>77442941
Ah, then I guess Patriot's dead.
>>77429269
>>77429275
>>77429282
>>77429287
Don't Loki and Wiccan already have this same convo? Are we just out of things to talk about.
