Yay taters!
Why would I want Thor v. Sentry? I’ve got “JLA/Avengers” which has the Thor v. Superman fight in it. Now a Beta Ray Bill v. Gladiator fight I’d be down for…
People seem to be screaming for a Thor v. Sentry fight mainly to see Bob get his ass handed to him.
I only read the Siege: Cabal issue out of these. Found it enjoyable, but weren’t they supposed to show us who Osborn’s weapon is? Whoever it is, my only problem will be that some ridiculously powerful being is 1) somehow on the leash of a baseline human psycopath, and 2) apparently content to sit in a broom closet off the Cabal meeting room until they’re called on. You think they’d at least get bored after a month or two.
@Lou: Right now it looks like it’s just the Void in one of those Booster-is-Supernova/Bucky-will-be-Cap situations where it’s really straight forward, but they treat it like a big mystery regardless. It can’t be the Beyonder, since he wouldn’t get that kind of response out of Taskmaster by simply walking into a room. Molecule Man wouldn’t jibe with the continuity. It’s obviously a dude, so it isn’t Scarlet Witch. The only other character who fits I can think of is Blackheart.
The outline we saw definitely looked like a male, but then again, so did Ronin the first time…
I think what threw me the most was the mixed reactions from the group. Doom didn’t seem too shaken, as opposed to the areyoufreakingkiddingme look from the whole group when they originally “showed” the weapon in the post-SI Cabal special. Taskmaster acted like he/it wasn’t even human, Loki was hardly bothered at all, and The Hood had a “do we really have to do this right now?” tone to his voice, until Loki told him to bug out. I guess, since Osborn apparently has the Reality Gem on one of the teaser posters for Siege, he could have split the Sentry and the Void completely, meaning he wasn’t lying when he told Bob there isn’t any Void in him early in DA. Just hoping for something huge and fun, I’ve kind of decided that Siege and Blackest Night are the finale for my Marvel/DC comic buying career for a good while and want to go out with a bang.
One theory I heard posited was that Osborn’s mystery enforcer is Marvel/MiracleMan, which would work as a decent surprise and something to get your attention, but I’m not sure if he’d correspond with the other characters’ reactions.
@LurkerWithout: the end of the fight will make you happy.
JH one made me crack up
is wonderwoman’s friend’s heart telling him yes?

has Johns’ Captain Cold ever not stolen an issue everytime he shows up?
“Right now it looks like it’s just the Void in one of those Booster-is-Supernova/Bucky-will-be-Cap situations where it’s really straight forward, but they treat it like a big mystery regardless.

Rick Johnson strongly hinted it’s Marvel Man/Miracle Man. His clues were initials MM and ‘Atomik’, which is Kimota spelt backwards.
It would make no sense at all story wise but after Marvel went through all the fuss to get him they’d surely want to use him in something high profile.
