He's a Superman-type from another universe that was destroyed by the same thing that's destroying universes in New Avengers.

Yes!
I need to grab the first 15ish issues of that. I got into it late but I don't know I really liked that book. It even suckered me into buying back issues of Journey into Mystery.
TMNT and Mudman are next week.

More Ambush Bug is a GREAT thing.
Avengers 3 might have been delayed. That's the only explanation I can think of for the gap between 2 and 3 and the rapid-fire release of 4, 5, and 6.
I liked it, but it wasn't really that necessary a read.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I see Slott's doing his damndest to make people actually wish Peter had died.
lol @ more Uncanny Avengers delays. Dead book walking.

As someone who normally doesn't read x-men, I enjoyed it. Had to ask my x-men obsessed friend for explanations of who people were quite a few times though.

I thought the rapid fire release had to do with the fact that 4,5,6 have different artists.

Age of X is the shit. Best X-Men crossover since Messiah CompleX.
That probably allowed them to turn around the issues so quickly, but the book is supposed to ship twice a month and there was a 5 week or so gap between #2 in mid December and #3 last week. I think that #3 slipped a week. If not, I have no idea what Marvel is doing with their bi-weekly books.
I am surprised you don't know who Hyperion is given that you seem to have pretty extensive Marvel knowledge. He's part of Squadron Supreme. Most recently seen in the JMS Supreme Power/Squadron Supreme series and a story-arc in the original volume of Exiles. They might have also been in one of those Marvel Zombies books I never read. Squadron Supreme are/were a group of JLA analogues.

I only really have extensive X-Men knowledge. And now that you mentioned he was in eXiles, I remember that arc! Never knew he was a bigger character though.
Kubert??
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one that hates Kubert's art.
Adam Kubert (who is the better of the two brothers) is uneven. He's a pretty good story-teller, and can pump out some awesome pages, but then you will get some wonky face or pose that snaps you out of the story.
Check out Astonishing Spider-man and Wolverine. From what I remember, he was bringing his A-Game to that book.

Mainly know him from Exiles, was also recently in Thunderbolts but I think this is a different Hyperion. Character is a bit convoluted, but could work well with what Hickman is planning.

Hyperion doesn't exist in 616 as far as I know, but he does exist in a ton of other Marvel realities. This lets writers basically do what they want with the character. Not matching continuity? "That was a different Hyperion".

Sounds like DC is going to cave and finally start leaking back elements pre-flashpoint in WTF:
I bet the team that disappears is either Stormwatch or JL Dark (whichever one is selling poorer)

The branding is awful and I'm kind of ashamed of how many of those covers did get an involuntary mental "wtf" out of me.

#15 got me a "wtf is that drawing aaaa"
I had LOOOOOOOOOOOOOW expectations before I read it but I was pleasantly surprised. Worth a read but it's a bit more heady than your typical wham, bam X-Men crossover.

That's what I mean by convoluted. It's to the point that "that was a different Hyperion" mostly seems to be the plot twist in stories involving him.

Hyperion was in Jeff Parker's thunderbolts last seen getting eating by a Godzilla sized monster.
The different versions of Hyperion also vary hugely in power level. Sometimes he's at Superman level or beyond. Other times he is more along the lines of Colossus or Thing in Strength.
Not a lot of details, but that is a good idea. I assume it's going to be a website.
I've always thought comics needed to be marketed better. This is especially true for the indie companies. I can look at a cover and still have no idea what it's about and need to do some internet hunting. I wish all the companies would provide actual info about their titles.

I looked it up and the one in Thunderbolts was actually King Hyperion from Exiles, who is basically a planet buster. The one in Avengers right now is a fresh Hyperion.
Hello internet indignation machine. How's it hanging? (god fucking damn newsarama is the fucking worst)

We got badass Kyle being badass. Automatically worth it.
They aren't really wrong in this case though. Everyone lost their shit before anything even happened. These are monthly comics, at least wait to see if the thing that pisses you off has actually happened yet.
