    So...that would explain whythe Beyonder was surprised to see to see Black Bolt alive in the last issue of the Illuminati! The real Back Bolt died long ago...seriously, if Marvel did that, I will completely drop Marvel forever...its like a cheap plot device...anyway, I feel sad for Luke's kid...

    Either he was surprised by Black Bolt being alive or he was surprised that he got caught. I haven't read it yet, only flipped through it, so I can't say for sure. I've pretty much decided to drop every Marvel book I get except for Ultimate Spider-Man, which is the only one I get regularly anyway. I'm much more interested in what DC's doing and even that is hit or miss for me. Maybe I'm getting too old for comics.

    Off the Skrull topic for a moment....

    Disclaimer: Most of what I read is in the paperback collections (TPBs).

    Why is Dr. Strange w/ the New Avengers? During Civil War he stays neutral, telling Uatu that he has to allow the superhuman role to evolve on its own. And now he's actively assisting a group of people who refuse to comply with SHRA. Don't get me wrong: I'm still anti-SHRA, and I love Dr. Strange. I just want to know if there has been any indication as to the reason for his...change of heart? Change of position?

    Not really. I think it was mentioned somewhere and he said he made a mistake staying on the sidelines. But I don't remember where.

    Yup, I read it somewhere also. Anyway, making Strange going over to the "pro reg" time makes it easier for Marvel to set up WWH in such a way that its Hulk against the "pro reg" team.

    So... waitaminute. Is she a Skrull just for this issue, or has she always been a Skrull since Bullseye killed her or sometime after? And are they saying that other people in the Marvel U might be Skrulls and have been Skrulls all along, or is this just something that they've only just come up with?

    Wow... thanks for reminding me why I got out of comics.

    That's the whole BS thing about the Skrulls...Marvel can use them as a "plot device" to undo any changes. For example, the Spidey that unmasked can be blamed on Skrull, the 2 D-list villians that the Punicher shot could be Skrulls, The Ironman in CW was a Skrull...the list can go on and on.

    Wait, it makes sense. We get a fullly grown Tony Stark replacing a teen Tony after Heroes Reborn. It has to be a Skrull replacement. Finally a way out of that wierd ass problem and explain Civil War Tony's dickishness

    Maybe "World War Hulk" will be about Skrulls too.
