Is Jarvis gay? You know, Kozzi, I'd have to say yes. My gaydar kicks into overdrive every time I read him.
Out of curiousity (I'm still tracking down some Disassembled issues), who all died? I realize there were gratuitous deaths, but I wouldn't mind a spoiler if you can send one my way.
I'm going to give these new Avengers a shot, if for no other reason than a line-up shake-up can be a good thing (AFv2 comes to mind). But I'm a little nervous, for obvious reasons.
But I remain hopeful. Are you reading the New Invaders, by chance? I've fallen in love with this series, and Jacobsen even told me that he'd try to get Major Mapleleaf in there (like you didn't know I'd ask him that, lol).
