You should actually read the linked interview instead of just looking at the shiny picture cause...
Yeah you can see the crow's feet around Cap's eyes.

Yeah, Avengers #40.
Words.
There are none.
I'm absolutely floored. And old man Steve keeps annoying me.

T'Challa kept his promise, with some help from Black Bolt.

You guys are all buying the physical copies?
I really wish the digital issues would come day and date with the physical ones.

I'm 100% digital: overseas and no LCS. Comixology has everything day and date. Hell, DC stuff is usually available pretty early.

Weird, I'm on marvel.com and it's telling me the digital issue isn't available.
Edit: nevermind, it shows up if I browse "New" comics. If I just go to "Series" and click Avengers 2012, there's no buy option there. Marvel needs to fix the jank on their website.

Just read it. Fuuuuuu
Some thoughts:
Not going to spoiler this one: I fucking hate Steve Rogers

Spoilers:
Did Thanos just get destroyed in this Marvel universe? If so, that's probably more of a bombshell than Namor dying.
Why is everyone acting like killing Sun God's world was such a massive travesty? They should have let trillions in both universes die?
Fuck Steve Rogers.

Fuck Steve Rogers.
Because Steve is the upholder of an outdated ideal that isn't practical in this situation or smart. But really I think he's just more pissed off at them for mindwiping him and keeping him in the dark for so long.

(Unspoiled this part because it's old)
On the destruction of the DC analogue world, it's always the same argument but basically it was a lesser evil case and even though it might have been a necessity, it doesn't mean it should go unpunished.
I still believe that Rogers and his friends don't have much legitimacy judging this themselves as they apparently let the Cabal do it dozens of time without acting to stop it.
Edit: oh shit, thank you high res digital

I'm not expecting them to be dead, Maximus seemed to have a plan, but they won't be coming back next issue.
Namor might be dead for now though.

I hadn't realized you could read Blackbolt's tiny lines. He says "When you see my brother Maximus... Bid him..." and screams "farewell".

That was a pretty bitchmade move on T'Challa's part. Couldn't fight your own battle, big guy?
Tchalla is a King he can do whatever the hell he wants.
And that reaction was...WOW
Big T knew the blade wasn't going to work on Namor and handled it like a boss found some distinct words that left Namor shook.
Steve seems like he'll be relatively satisfied with Reed and co surrendering and the Cabal going boom. Rogers will move on to kicking Superior Tony's ass in no time at all.
Also does this mean T'challa doesn't trust Reed?
No, it just mean T'Challa wanted to kill Namor and Reed shouldn't have trusted him.

Yep. Enjoyed the read but it's not the best thing i've read lately. Spider Verse is just KILLING it week after week.
And on that note: R.I.P
MARVEL VS. CAPCOM SPIDERMAN
I fucking died when I realized which Spider-man that was. He really did mean every Spider-man ever.

It took me a minute to realize that Spider-Man from the "Turn off the dark" Broadway show is in the issue, though off panel.
double edit: Anarchist Spider Man
being a black dude
They say at the start that he's Hobie Brown AKA The Prowler.
Black Bolt had to be there because they're not just killing Namor but Maximus as well.
I like Spider-verse too, but Avengers 40 was the payoff to two years of build-up and it came out of nowhere. Amazing issue.

honestly it just went right past me. Didn't even notice.
edit: when did this thread get moved to community? BOOOOOOOOOOOO
And lets not forget that Namor orginally allied himself with the man responsible for destroying Attilan and also almost killing him.
And agreed Spider-verse is fun but Hickman has been building this up for years the build up+escalation+climax is why this issue was just incredible.

Yeah... Namor is going to fuck some shit up after all this is done with.
Also:
What's the deal with that?
Also:
Everything on that alternate world was tinted blue. The ground that Namor landed on was red, right?

To do it would require some sort of cosmic armbar. Outside of thatNamor would kick his ass though became Namor is really strong.
Also no way are all those characters dead.... i don't even think Namor is dead he was probably saved by maximus like the rest of the cabal. However, if he is dead great job by Hickman its been a long time coming and nobody in the 616 will shed a single tear for Namor

Namor and Thanos are forever. They'll find their way back. And judging from the look on Namor's face his response will be glorious.

you say this but look at what they did to richard rider
Hickman isn't Bendis, that Chekhov's gunman will come home one day.
Hmm. No real interest in Marvel if
Will give them a chance to fix things, but if this is going to be played legit or moral, then bleh.BP's speech there just oozed hypocrisy. Hopefully the writers will act on it. On the bright side, he gets to look bitchmade from here on.
Namor stays dead.

Black Panther seems to have gotten some upgrades. He was wailing on Namor on the DC planet with those phantom claws. Not sure if he has enough offense to win an extended fight though. Namor has KO'd Iron Man in the past.

Underwater though, right?
Even if Maximus saved him he's fucked. They all saw him pretty much abandoning them.
Depends on if Thanos and the others ate it or if Maximus decided to save them too.
My reading order is pretty similar although post-Infinity I would personally recommend
New Avengers 13-17
Avengers 24-29
New Avengers 18-23
Avengers 30-36
New Avengers 24-26
Avengers 37-38
New Avengers 27
Avengers 39
New Avengers 28
Avengers 40
