    IF the last New Avengers didn't work, why have a second one? Come to think of it, the Last New Avengers never had any plots that went anywhere. I won't read it or anything associated with Civil War. Enough is enough. It wasn't the Avengers anyway.

    Didn't work for you or didn't work for Marvel?

    God almight 23 Issues and their still crawling out the freakin wood work.

    The New Avengers is a damm good book.

    Plot that went nowhere?

    SHIELD corruption, check.
    Hydra corruption, check.
    The Sentry, check.

    Also why do people keep trying to put Beast on the freaking Mighty Avengers, the Man is a Mutant who is currently ingaged in anti-goverment Actions.

    A lot of the folks here want to see Hank and Simon team-up again, since they were such a great pair. I agree that it wouldn't make any sense, and personally I'd rather see him with Cap. In the end it's unlikely that he will be an avenger in the near future. Feline beast is too weird looking
    They could have a team, the eX-Avengers, with Wolvie, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Beast, and a few others.

    I'm done with the New Avengers. Civil War did me in. First off, it's not really the Avengers anyway. Secondly, yes they never finish stories. All we found out in the first story was that their was a rogue part of SHIELD. That's it. Why was this part of SHIELD rogue and why release all these super villians. Now, there are no Avengers until about three months from now. Who cares, why do people still read this if it's not around. How many delays, bad crossovers, and pointless unmaskings can one take?

    Who is else is done?

    I think the rogue SHIELD storyline is meant to be the ongoing sub-plot of the book. To completely explain it in 6 or even 3 issues would just rush its potential.
    Cap knows something in SHIELD is corrupt. Now he doesn't trust Tony, who is working with the possibly corrupt SHIELD. This just shows the ongoing storyline has not been abandoned; its taking a new turn.

    I don't understand that logic. Are you saying that because a new issue of NA is not out on the day it was advertised, then the story is not worth reading?

    Harry Potter books don't come out everyday, but people still wait for the next one - even if its "not around" right now. Heck, comics don't even come out every day, so it not like they're "around." People care because they like the stories.

    Outside of a few week delays with David Finch, isn't this the first time that NA has been seriously delayed? And itsn't this the first time its actually been involved in a cross over? And the unmasking didn't happen in NA, and has yet to be addressed, so I'm not sure why that plot point has led to your decreased enjoyment of NA.

    The question is - HOW can people read it when it's not around? I dig it, quite a bit actually, but I am looking forward to seeing Spidey leave...

    The SHIELD/Hydra/Prision Break thing is the ongoing plot.

    Still I can understand the frustration. I don't like the unfinished plots either and it's been going on for far to long. I came into New Avengers when it was in it's mid teens but I don't think I could have lasted had I started from #1. I don't like it when stories are dragged out like that. Especailly since things are being down to fit into TPBs anyway. Story arcs should be finished in that setting then move on. Have a background theme or focus sure but don't drag out plotlines like this for this long with no clear sign of things being finished or talked about again. That's the annoying aspect of this, it's like things are forgotten.

    Perhaps this is the flaw with major team books like this. I haven't read many so I'm not sure if this is a common thing one should be used.

    I don't understand what the debate is? Is it that you simply do not like the title or that you are nitpicking regarding certain issues dealt with in the book? Are you disappointed that the SHIELD deal has not been resolved? If so, do you watch Lost or any of the other countless dramas on TV? You have to build upon an element before you give the reveal. Personally, I like the book and have never considered dropping it. Is it perfect, no of course not. Yet I think it is one damn fine book and I don't mind waiting for the reveals. Life does not always give you the answers you seek immediately when you ask for them.
    Now if you are sick of the book because you simply do not like it that is fine. I drop books all the time that people rave on and on about.

    I don't read the title because

    1) I don't enjoy Bendis's work.

    2) I don't care for the cast.

    3) I was turned off on the direction the Avengers were going after Ant-Man and Hawkeye were killed.

    Some people like it. Some people don't. It's that way with any book.

    I dropped it. The book is going nowhere and its going there really slow.

    The focus is very unbalanced, with the same few characters constantly getting the limelight and the others being in the background not doing anything. That in itself might not be such a bad idea, because Bendis doesn't really seem to know how to write several of the people he's put on the team.

    Just about everystory has ended with an anti-climax, and subplots and introduced and then ignored.

    I'm dropping it soon, after Civil War ends.

    No particular reason. I enjoyed the book for a while, but I don't think it's good enough for me to keep spending my money on month after month.

    Same exact reason I'm dropping Ultimate Spiderman after the Clone Saga
    arc.
