So Bendis' Avengers Assemble comic continues to hint at the direction the MCU is taking....
#7 is out soon, and features the (cinematic lineup) Avengers joining the (cinematic lineup) Guardians of the Galaxy to take on Thanos.
Interesting tagline: "Who needs an Infinity Gauntlet?" Shows Thanos holding up the Tesseract.
Spider-Man crossover confirmed
COSMIC CUBE. Did not get why they felt the need to change the name for the movies. Hope he doesn't accidentally drop it this time.
I know right/ I guess Tesseract sounds less goofy than saying cosmic cube but thats what it is.
We pick up the story as Adam Warlock, following a trail of devastation, finds Thanos right-hand wench Gamora, dying. He then sucks her soul into the Soul Gem and takes off on quest most would find as difficult as casting a shadow on a mirror, to stop Thanos effort to please Death by killing off all the stars. And were not talking Hollywood here. This naturally leads him to the Avengers. Unless this had been a Fantastic Four Annual, then it would have lead him to them, or the Defenders, or, well, anyway
So it appears that Thanos armada is headed right for Earth and the Avengers are the only ones who can stop it (because its their Annual). Of course by this time Warlock has disappeared, leaving the Avengers to figure things out for themselves:
And the year before that we had a big sci-fi hit
Chris McCoy has been hired to rewrite the script
