A-Next Returning

The major comic news sites are reporting that Marvel will be reprising a classic event title, with 2015's
Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars. The event will  be written by Jonathan Hickman with art by Esad Ribic. It launches in May 2015 and apparently continues on directly from the Avengers storyline "Time Runs Out" running currently in New Avengers and Avengers. But why am I interested? Take a look and see if you can guess:

Marvel Super Heroes: Secret Wars

Yup, that looks like a bunch of the MC2's own Avengers team and supporting characters: American Dream, Coal Tiger, Earth Sentry, Stinger, Thunderstrike, Mainframe and Darkdevil...wait,what is he doing in there? I mean, apart from fighting Matt Murdock from the 1602 reality, obviously.

Noticeably absent? Spider-Girl. Some site are pointing out that no X-Men or Fantastic Four characters are present in this artwork (by Alex Ross, dontcha know?) nor is there a Peter Parker incarnation of Spider-Man. Yeah, no non-Marvel Studios characters. But still, no Mayday Parker makes me concerned.

Until I stop obsessing over the little ol' MC2, I remain
