Seconded. I am so puzzled by the lack of discussion here on this series. I can't seem to find the massive topic on it like with whatever X-books come out each week.

I'm glad they'll revisit it...

I too am reading this again. It's a definitive run, that's for sure. Here's hoping Marvel gets around to volume two and includes the amazing Wolverine/Spider-man crossover Aaron did.

Not being familiar with Lady Mastermind, can someone tell me why she looks nearly identical to Emma Frost? Not that I'm complaining.

Other than that, another solid issue. I'm slowly warming up to...

I'm a little disappointed. I thought the last several issues were good, but since it's called The Avengers, I kind of expected The Avengers to be the main characters in the book instead of the...

I thought Doctor Strange wanted to off himself too readily. You can tell this dude really wants to go down in a blaze of glory. When he bought it up to the New Avengers, no one said, "No, Stephen,...

I think Kordey did the best he could with what he had. I've seen his other work, and it's pretty obvious his story of doing a whole issue in a week is accurate.

Bachalo's art quality depends on...

That would've been the way to go. That way, he has plenty of experience and can constantly one-up with people by saying, "Well, back in MY universe..."

I was pleasantly surprised with this second issue. The book doesn't tackle things like characterization, but the plot twists are cool and the dialogue is occasionally witty. I didn't like Luke Ross...

I think I'll wait it out for this one, too. It seems like most of this was just destroyed buildings.

Good point.

He's also the only character to give us a realistic idea of what it'd be like to meet your future self, which is ironic given that it's not him at all. It seems Bendis deliberately...

Oh no, it's messed up, all right. That was me emphasizing how ridiculous the counter-argument would be. :biggrin: Took me totally off guard, too. Here we have this light-hearted first half of the...

If he didn't want to stay in the future, he shouldn't have agreed to hang out with the people who agreed to do it.

Have any of them actually used the scientific method for anything, at any point? Or do they just do rails of radioactive cocaine off a copy of the periodic table and see what happens? "Get back,...

Good scientists don't have lab accidents that give them blue fur. And he probably has to explain how it happened to every team he joins because the new character always brings it up.

Enough to...

So did Ultron mind wipe the heroes in some way to make them not slap the crap out of Captain America when he started sitting in the corner and bawling like a girl?

I mean, over in his title, he's...

From the journal of Charles Xavier:

It was another great session with Jean, today. With years of training and conditioning in this more-stable, non-dystopian environment, she will eventually be...

If this had happened at the beach instead of a college, they'd kick sand in his nerd face. And then walk away with his girlfriend.

Then they'd blame him for starting it. And so on...

It's my absolute favorite of Brubaker's writing. The art isn't as good as the Marvel stuff, but that won't matter.

That's because they haven't been releasing anything good, let's face it. New Warriors? Only old-school fans are gonna want to pick that up. It's nice to have a wild card, sure, but only if you've got...

You should get it. I don't even like silver age stuff but I loved reading the actual history of Marvel unfold on the page. That's where it all started.

This seems to be Marvel's way of telling us,...

Yes.

Think of how Magneto trained people for the last 20 years - by fighting heroes. Not with simulations, but in the actual field of battle. This is just Mags' contribution to their training. I...

We'll have Daniel Acuna and presumably another artist (hoping it's Copeil) alternating, so it should be on time. I won't miss Cassaday. With the exception of 4, his work was below average.

I think John Cassaday's art is generic and rushed compared to what it used to be. I really wouldn't mind if he left comics again. Hell, even his covers have been meh.

With Quesada covers, I always like to play a game I fondly refer to as Does this character look like they're taking a dump? This is fortunately not an offender.

Cable, however, it totally dropping...

I remember the Quemas era very well, and at no point did I hear anyone rejoicing that one or both of them saved the industry. Personally, I hated the both of them. They acted like a couple of frat...
