Of course, I still think it would be cool if they FINALLY had the Martians invade, which has been hinted at from time to time, fulfilling the Killraven storyline.
I think it was Secreit Invasion wasn't it? Or is Martians a specific type of alien?
Maybe all the weapons become sentient and wage war on their respective heroes/villains!! WEAPON WAR!!! What's next spideys web shooters! Klaws Klaw! Return of the living dead spideymobile!!

I think Cory means the actual, H.G. Welles inspired tripod Martians, as seen in the Killraven books. And during Captain America's period of being lost in time after being "killed" there was a glimpse at the future that showed what I thought to be the tripods invading. But now I wonder if they were actually the Nazi mech from Fear Itself rampaging through New York. So what Cap saw in the future may have already happened.
As for "War". If it turns out to be Ultron War then I am intrigued because- unless Ultron starts possessing heroes- we can finally get back to heroes vs. a big bad. After so many events that had different flavors of heroes vs. heroes, I am ready for them to Bring Back the Bad Guys.

So they stopped making What If? A series just to turn the MU status quo into bad what ifs. You can see some corporate flunky standing around looking at the DC wiki and saying, "well if they have a Crisis, we'll have a War!" Those teaser images piss me off as none of that will happen. Maybe they will introduce Darci the Destroyer!!!!
Punisher vs the avengers huh? Well, for that to even begin to be a contest frank would have to have murdered them all on a subtle way before they even knew there was a threat in some sort of batman über competent meticulously planned scenario because once they turned their attention to him...it's over. There could be no guns blazing here it would to quiet and patient and entirely un-punisher-like, to even pretend to be plausible. Rucka has it right in keeping Franks eye wound bandaged for so long in his run because there is no healing factor for Castle. Wounds are real deadly threats and need time to heal.
So I guess nothing earth shattering happens to the Avengers in AvX so they are still around for Frank to kill? At which point during the middle of that event they will preview the next event letting you know they will survive being hunted by the Pumisher.
Punisher vs. The Avengers? Really?!?! geeez. The Punisher's whole point is that he kills people. And Marvel isn't going to take its marketable properties off the board. So we have a series whose entire "point" isn't going to happen. I guess the puzzle here is to idenitfy to one of two Avengers that are the equivalent of the Bill Foster Giant-man, who may actually be aced. Otherwise, if there was ever an "event" that held out the promise of ZERO status quo change - this one's it! I-)

That would be great. But wasn't it said in the Killraven series that the Martians invaded in 1999? Been 2 years since I read Killraven,so my memory might be faulty.
I'm sorry but if your still reading Marvel after this,then you really are a 'zombie'.
After this? Meaning the promos for an event in October. That should be the line in the sand? And the sensible thing would be to quit reading all your Marvel books, whatever they might be and however you might enjoy them, because a future event looks lame. Sorry, Uncanny X-Force, you're a great book, but one of those other 80 books is going to stink, so you're out! I'm no zombie!
That reminds me-- my Time Warner Cable was acting up over the weekend. I should stop reading DC.
Right now the only marvel books I pick up are Defenders, Captain Marvel and Daredevil. I may get sucked into Hawkeye, though. Apparently, I have a thing for Mark Waid and the Fraction Family...that's the new FF, apparently.
Marvel will not do a relaunch like the New 52. Hickman is on FF duties through the fall so that right there nips this one in the bud...I hope. And if Fraction takes over FF when Hickman is gone, I'm dropping that title like a dirty diaper.
Those could just be the planned upcoming changes. it was already announced that Bendis would be taking over X-Men, Remender on Cap and Gillen on Iron Man.
I had planned on dropping Avengers after Bendis' run was over but if Hickman is picking it up I may just keep it on my pull list.
If the rumors being reported being there are true, what would be so bad about it? We all know that some talent shake-ups are coming, with Bendis leaving Avengers books, Hickman leaving Fantastic Four sooner rather than later, Fraction winding down Iron Man.
As even the usually-alarmist BleedingCool note's, what is being rumored is not a reboot.
And if what is planned is a shake-up and a refresh, well, I think a lot of Marvel titles could use that right now. Sales-wise if not creatively.

In interviews, Rucka has said that for him to buy into The Punisher as part of the Marvel Universe, a confrontation with The Avengers was inevitable. Eventually he'd show up on their radar, and they'd have to take him down. Looks like he's not going down easy.
Although I've never liked the Punisher as "hero", I am intrigued with Rucka's take on the character, and interested to see where this goes.
What @WetRats said. Frank can't keep operating like he does without some kind of confrontation with the big boys happening. It's long overdue. With the covert ops titles we've seen over the last few years, why not utilize Frank in that way. Put him on a team where he can still fight crime within the "confines" of the law and without putting innocent bystanders in the crossfire. I know that takes away a big part of what/who Frank is, but even in the Marvel U, he can't keep doing what he does. Eventually he has to be reigned in or deal with the likes of Cap and company.

Punsher War Zone returns in October and he's gunning for the Avengers....wha..
Well... that is disappointing.
That's..... actually quite surprising. I'm a little uncertain how to respond...
I... did not see that one coming.

I'm somewhat... interested in how this came to be.

Somebody please tell me this is a joke.
