Crazy Ass Rumors

I've finally learned my lesson. I was all ready to make a post of crazy ass rumors and I waited and then got scooped by Newsarama. They announced Dr.Strange as a member of New Avengers before I could. Damn them!! Let's hope some of these other crazy ass rumors can make up for that.

* Speaking of New Avengers. Bendis is announcing a new member every day on Newsarama.com. So far announced is Echo, Ronin, and Dr. Strange. There's four more to be announced. The rumors we've come across lead us to expect Hawkeye, Sue Storm, Winter Solider, and Luke Cage.

* Ray Palmer is Supernova.

* Civil War: The Return will feature the return of the original Captain Marvel. The Crazy Ass Rumor part of this is that The Sentry will be his human host, as Rick Jones was previously.

Now if you don't like that one, try this.....

* Civil War: The Return will feature the return of Thor. The Sentry will discover that Donald Blake is a prisoner in the Negative Zone Prison. Sentry will help him find the hammer to once again become Thor.

* Civil War: Fallen Son, will be a five issue mini series that deals with the death of a hero that comes in issue 7 of Civil War. So who is it? One thing that may be a clue is that each issue will feature a member of the New Avengers. Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Captain America. Right now there's a lot of speculation out there. Some feel it's Captain America that gets killed. Others think it's Iron Man. We're going with Luke Cage on this one.

Civil War Late Breaking News

So issue #6 came out last week and it was okay, but nothing that split the Internet. The scene with Punisher was great and the ending was also a classic moment, but overall it was slow and makes you wonder how things are going to get wrapped up in one more issue.

What was even better(to a degree) was Civil War: Front Line. It's been hinted for some time that Tony Stark is backing this war for his own personal gain. We already know that Tony is going to end up as the Director of S.H.E.I.L.D. but would he really start a war for a job? Tony's already got plenty of cash so would he really be doing this for cash? So is this all because of guilt? Now I think we're getting somewhere. What if the accident in Stamford was something that Tony helped caused. If you think back there's always been a rumor that Tony had some sort of control over Nitro's powers. Maybe Tony messed up so bad that he's doing whatever it takes to cover his tracks.

Also in FL we saw Bobby Baldwin finally transform from Speedball to Penance. The Speedball story has been an emotional and entertaining ride.

So what will happen in Civil War #7? Honestly I have no fucking idea but I will be searching the forums everywhere to find the most Crazy Ass Rumors around. If you come across any good one feel free to email them to CeeDiddy4h@AOL.Com and we'll post them up in our next Crazy Ass Rumor post.
