The Clone Conspiracy will feature the return of The Jackal, a Spider-Man[...]

Will Nick Spencer Give Us The Black Avengers After All?
Black Avengers would have mitigated both concerns, but would have made Marvel into a kind of minstrel show In 1972, Marvel could have gotten away with Black Avengers In 2003, it would be seen as a kind of unfortunate in-joke. The Crew, for me it followed right on after Priest's legendary run on Black Panther, and[...]
