Some secrets from Original Sin revealed

The Hollywood Reporter's cited at least 3, and they sound predictably contrived:
Those secrets include Tony Stark’s role in the creation of the Gamma Bomb that birthed The Hulk, the discovery that Thor and Loki have a half-sister they knew nothing about, and Captain America’s memory wipe at the hands of his fellow heroes at the start of the current New Avengers series (don’t ask — or, rather, save asking until the story is underway).
Oh, I won't ask, because I don't care, and I can guess where it'll probably lead; if Bruce Banner finds out, he'll transform into the Hulk and smash Tony's armor. The revelation for Thor and Loki is unlikely to be any more impressive than the recent retcon to Tony's background, turning him into an adoptee, and erasing Cap's memories sounds all too reminiscent of what happened to Batman in DC's own 2004 atrocity, Identity Crisis.
Written by Jason Aaron with art by [Mike] Deodato, the core Original Sin series will anchor the investigations into the murder of The Watcher, while the various secrets will be explored within each character’s own series or the Original Sins anthology spinoff.
And many of these will doubtless cost nearly 4 dollars, way too much, even if only a handful of series were bearhugged into this mess. I have no respect for Aaron if this is all he's into the business for.
