Well what do you know another Marvel event (luckily i am a DC reader). This one is Death of the Watcher which will be written by Jason Aaron (Amazing X-men, Thor and he did the Incredible Hulk) and will be drawn by Mike Deodato (Amazing Spider-man, New Avengers and Elektra)
So will you buy the 3rd major event since the start of the Marvel Now?
What do you think of the creative team?

Yes, I will. Sounds like an interesting concept with a great creative team and only a few tieins.
DC had Trinity War, Forever Evil, Court of Owls, and Zero Year...all had tieins. So why the snark about Marvel? They both do it.

I'll be picking this series up. I'll pick up any book with Jason Aaron and Mike Dedato as the creative team.

So why the snark about Marvel? They both do it. There crossovers not events By your definition of events (Infinity, Inhumanity and Original Sin*) Trinity War, Forever Evil, Court of Owls, H'el on Earth, Rotworld, Zero Year, The Culling, the myriad Green Lantern events and many more should all count. Each have a main book/issue(s) detailing the status quo for the event and then use tie-ins to fill-in or finish the rest of the story. The difference is that DC usually uses Annuals instead of a series book, but otherwise the practice is generally the same. Both DC and Marvel do events. It sells comics and gets more people interested in picking up titles they otherwise wouldn't. It's just a part of the industry. It's neither good nor bad. It's up to the consumer to vote with their wallets whether or not they want to take part in the event. So while I get and respect your stance as a fan of DC's work (as I am a fan as well), taking the "Well what do you know another Marvel event" approach when bringing up the topic for discussion is probably not the most appropriate course of action. As for the event itself, I'm certainly excited to see how it turns out, especially with Jason Aaron/Mike Deodato working on it. *The official name of the event |

Lets not forget the cash grab stunt known as Villains Month.

I'm interested, the watcher has always been a pretty interesting character to me. I'm wondering if there will be some kind of retaliation from the rest of the watchers, forcing them out of their vow not to interfere.

They vow not to interfere but when one of their own dies, would they not try to find out who did it and hold him/her/it responsible? And what did he see that caused his death? And did he Uatu interfere, which ultimately cost him his life? There's lots of elements to explore in this event. |

Or am I thinking of the Earth X storyline? |

The Watchers in the main universe are an ancient species dedicated to observing and collecting all the data in the universe. Uatu, the one who is presumably killed, was assigned to Earth by the other Watchers. He is no longer a member though due to interfering over 400 times in helping out Earthlings (something discovered by The Celestials), more specifically in stopping Aron, the renegade Watcher. |

They are alright if creators want to do them and if are not forced to tell a story they don't want to.

How about we just have a discussion about the event instead of nitpicking events in general?
I like that recently in FF they kind of breached on this subject, very tongue in cheek where the watcher basically used the paradox of watching/interfering against the rest of the watchers. I'm very excited to see how this pans out, I didn't really even consider that it could be a watcher that wasn't Uatu that died. There are so many possibilities this can play it, it could also be someone killed the watcher while attempting to gain access to the data he's collected over time to find some sort of exploit/weakness against whomever. I like this speculation game. Also, I hope at some point someone drops a "Who watches the watchers?" (even though I doubt that will happen given the strained relationship with "the original writer")

(even though I doubt that will happen given the strained relationship with "the original writer") Agreed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't someone try something similar in the first Marvel Point One (trying to access The Watcher's data)? I wonder if that will ever be touched on or if that was just a set-up device for the story so they could tell multiple little one-and-dones. And yeah FF did do that. I totally forgot about that, thanks for bringing that up. And what if it isn't Uatu? Yeah, there's a lot of possibilities for this. It's going to be interesting to say the least. |
