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...
