Matthew Yglesias has an early story idea, but I’m not sure. I expect the new grim-n-gritty Little Mermaid will attempt to oust Agent Brand at S.W.O.R.D. after her affair with Prince Namor leads her to join Namor’s uneasy alliance with Norman Osborn, prompting Wolverine to take sushi-grade cuts out of her. A new Bendis/Maleev joint. And this is the moment when Foreign Policy‘s Annie Lowery officially regrets asking her friends to comment on the Disney/Marvel deal.

(A No-Prize to s/he who can tell me what song the headline comes from. No Googling.)
