So, we all know that
Marvel's creative strategy for the past few years has been to...
borrow heavily...from DC.
Still, they
can't keep that up, can they?

Well,
yesterday Marvel announced a spin-off of the
Chaos War event,
Chaos War: Dead Avengers. Written by
Fred Van Lente and drawn by
Tom Grummett, it features a whole bunch of Avengers--
back from the dead!! (Really--like we needed
Dr. Druid resurrected?)

Today,
they announced Chaos War: Alpha Flight, starring--
you guessed it--all the original, dead members of Alpha Flight brought back to life.
Sigh.Obviously, there will be more announcements to come--
Chaos War: Spider-Man, reviving
Gwen Stacy and Uncle Ben, anyone?--and I wager
50,000 quatloos that some of the dead will be permanently revived.
Geez louise, Marvel, couldn't you even wait a full
year until you ripped off
Blackest Night?!? Really?? You're that desperate for ideas?!?

No hatin' on Alpha Flight! I don't care who they have to rip off to give me the original team back.
Though I would have much preferred AF's fighting their way forward through time. I dearly need to see me some Western Snowbird and Pirate Sasquatch.
Oh, there's no AF hate here, just some healthy Marvel skepticism.
I can't wait to read "Captain America's Walk Across America, Talking to Americans....."(guest-starring Wolverine....the Canadian)
As long as they don't kill off Valeria Richards in an earthquake and make Hawkeye or Kate Bishop a one-armed drug addict.
Don't give them ideas!
Well, at least they already did the "bring back a passle of dead mutants" bit with Necrosha earlier on...
