The very first post in the thread includes a ton o' links about HoM.
Me, I'll probably skip it. It sounds mildly interesting, but I buy enough comics as it is, and with the various Seven Soldiers and Infinite Crisis miniseries added on, well, yeesh. Plus, while I like Bendis in general, "Avengers Disassembled" was a steaming pile of crap and these sorts of huge, world-shaking stories generally aren't his forte (Secret War isn't terribly good so far either).

Reposted on: 22.4.12 0003.33 | Too funny not to mention here:
Marvel's gotten in trouble with Spain's royal family over HoM. One of the artists involved, Mike Mayhew, drew a cover picture of Magneto wearing a uniform, which he apparently swiped directly from a photo of King Juan Carlos -- and Juan Carlos is not amused at seeing a mutant terrorist wearing his clothes.
For comparison:

Reposted on: 22.4.12 0908.25 | | Some folks who know more about art than me are saying he probably just ran the original picture through Photoshop and stuck Magneto's head on. I guess we're a lot more advanced from the days when lazy artists would just trace someone else's picture... | odessasteps
