The Dark Reign of Norman Osborn

[En Sabah Nur]

In The Dark Reign books, Osborn took steps to ensure that everyone who he never liked, or who he crossed paths with would not interfere with him again. Some of those plans did not go according to plan. So far he tried to kill Deadpool, Maria Hill, Ms. Marvel, and others. As of this Wednesday, the list of people who either have a grudge against him or want to kill him are as follows:

The Atlas Foundation (in Agents of Atlas 1)
Punisher (in Punisher 1)
Doc Samson (in Thunderbolts 128)
Ms. Marvel in (Ms. Marvel 35)
Deadpool in (Deadpool 7)
Iron Man (in The Invincible Iron Man 9)
Maria Hill (in The Invincible Iron Man 9)
War Machine (in War Machine 2)
Nick Fury (in Secret Warriors 1)
Slingshot
The Druid
Stonewall
Quake
Hellfire
Phobos (God of Fear, Ares' son)
The New Avengers: (The New Avengers 49)
Spider-Man
Wolverine
Ronin (aka Hawkeye)
Mockingbird
Captain America
Iron Fist
Spider Woman
Ms. Marvel
Jessica Jones (Jewel)
And that is only a few weeks into Dark Reign, the list will probably get larger. Norman Osborn will be the most hated man in the superhero community and be in charge of everything in no time at all.

What do you guys this of all this?

I am enjoying the direction that they are taking with Norman being in charge of everything. It seemed a little odd that everyone was willing to forgive his past crimes so quickly after he killed the Skrull queen, but it opens the door for an interesting new direction.
The hero and villian line seems to be a little more defined now, where it was ambigious and just generally confused during the post-CW period. I think the line is clear agian, it just happens to be that the Villians seem to have control of everything now, which puts all of the traditional heroes in a interesting. Hopefully there will be some great stories out of this, because I think there is a lot of potential.

I like normans dark reign & yet I dislike it as well...I mean making the thunderbolts the Dark Avengers, putting together a new t-bolts team, basically making iron man a war criminal and Mking him self a super hero! I mean I like the fact that the Marvel U is changing....But I really am just waiting for Osborn to snap & DOOM take over...MUHAHAHAHA ALL NELL BEFORE DOOM!:evil: Seriously though Dark reign is awsome i love it...Although im not sure how I fell about T'challa not being the Black Panther anymore.:sweat: :p
