DOA...?

Four scans from Siege #2, as the much-trailed casualty is revealed. Really, really gory, incidentally.
 

The battle for Asgard rages on.  Maria and Thor (and Jason, the random kid) escape Osborn and co. and flee into the town.  Ares is pretty pissed off at being lied to, and attacks Norman.  Sentry intervenes, fight scene ensues:



DOA God of War.

He was a dick, but he was an entertaining dick, and he always made sense as a character, which was a lot more than could be said for the guy who killed him.  Of course, when the time comes, his resurrection practically writes itself.

 Also, that even freaked out Bullseye.

Elsewhere, Steve rallies a group of heroes (both main Avengers teams, the Young Avengers, and the Secret Warriors) to head to Asgard; Bucky insists on giving him the shield for this occasion, because they want his profile.  They leave Alexander behind, notionally because Fury doesn't want him to be in a situation where he has to fight his dad (they don't know about Ares yet), which seems like a surefire setup for a dramatic entrance in #4.




Now that was really cool.

Oh, fuck you, Bob. Even though I know Ares isn't likely to be gone long, still, fuck you so hard for killing off someone who was so much more entertaining than you ever were.

    You know, for kids!


    But still, that last page with the shield coming at Osborne was great. You could almost hear him in his own head going "fuuuuuuuuuuck".

      According to Marvel:

      Ares is also an immortal with an unending lifespan. He can be wounded during battle but due to his Olympian nature he heals very quickly. Only an injury of such magnitude that it incinerates all or a portion of his bodily molecules could cause him physical death

      And according to the dictionary:

      Main Entry: 1im·mor·tal
      Pronunciation: \(ˌ)i-ˈmȯr-təl\
      Function: adjective
      Etymology: Middle English, from Latin immortalis, from in- + mortalis mortal
      Date: 14th century

      1 : exempt from death

        "Immortal" is quite commonly used to describe characters who can't die from natural means. There's been nothing in the past to indicate that the Olympians can't die.

          Never liked Bob. A poor cash-in on the Superman archetype with Apollo's haircut, while not being anywhere near as entertaining or likeable as either of the characters.

          Not really a fan of characters just being introduced and then everyone suddenly being in awe of how awesome they are. Same goes for Zodiac, though that's an attempt to copy and paste the Dark Knight's version of the Joker into the Marvel Universe.

          If it must be done, do it gradually, like with Cass Cain. Or the Robinson's version of the Shade, who at least has sixty or so years of comics to back him up.

              That someone dies? That's not a spoiler, that was in the solicitation. And given that it's the big question mark surrounding this issue, some sort of advisory about it should be given before opening the post itself.

                    If the next issue opens with a two-page spread of Norman getting clocked with a giant SPAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNG effect... I will have the joy. Yes, much much of the joy.

                          Naw. With Hercules' own death imminent in his own title, leading into some big mythical shakeup that will be announced within a week according to FVL on Twitter, plus the prospect of Mikaboshi returning to raze hell, I'm expecting him to show up in that story.

                                  I don't want to give Bendis any props for this, because this was far too predictable and boring . . .

                                  But I'm really looking forward to seeing what Incredible Hercules does with it, since it dovetails neatly with Hades being overthrown in the Underworld. Ares is going to have a heck of a lot of fun kicking everyone in the head down there.

                                  Bonus points if Hercules now gets to add Alexander to his growing retinue of snarky boy sidekicks.

                                    Heh, just made me realise that they could get to the end of the main battle and a pissed off Ares parachutes in, having fought his way out of the underworld and travels back across country to join in again in under a few hours.

                                              I think Bullseye realized just how powerful and crazy Bob really is.

                                              It's one thing to go against heroes - most of them have baseline human conditioning and power levels - but when someone can tear into a friggin god like that, well...

                                              Let's just say Hawkeye will have to bleach the hell outta that outfit when he starts to wear it again. Or burn it.

                                                      Last time his uncle really stepped the line and the Olympians had to call for Ares for help he pretty much singlehandedly decimated Hades' undead army. Then proceeded to hack them in half, send one half back to underworld, burn the other half and bake his bread with the ashes.

                                                      Estimated time he'll walk out of the Pit to Tartarus wearing Cerberus-hide cloak... five minutes and counting.
