From Avengers #1, we get a rather entertaining comic book that posits seperate philosophies against each other. And then uses fists to decide the debate.

But we also get a history lesson of what is to come. Sqaudron Supreme, Imperial Guard, Ex nihilo and his crew. And then the light… is this the New Universe connection, the White Event? The War may be the Ultron War. And The Fall?

But there's one other scene that really sticks out. something that comes to mind as Captain America is being woken by Iron Man. He mentions bad dreams and flashes to…

The members of the Illuminati? Looking down on Captain America? What have they done? And will we discover it in New Avengers #1?

Time to hit the Marvel AR for this comic… an intro by Tom Brevoort, pencils and inks, and a motion comic version of the last scene. Wake The World.
