T-Minus 30 seconds until ________ shows up and claims 3D man is only on the team because of affirmative action or to fill some minority "quota".

Not sure about this one? Don't like Hardman's art style at all, and I can't stand globe heads costume no matter who draws it.

But I do like Gorilla Man and Namora, and the new 3-D man is cool as well.

Yey, Agents of Atlas! Yey, Parker! Boo, Dodson. I didn't care for his work in Uncanny X-men (everyone looks paunchy).

If for no other reason than I love his new line-up for Thunderbolts and I feel it's fair gratitude: I'm gonna give this comic a go (plus, I enjoy the Agents of Atlas mini stories in Assault on New Olympus).

I am pretty sure that this book will be the most fun of all the Heroic Age books. And therefore one of the poorest sellers.

Looking good. Glad to see Agents of Atlas back. Hopefully the Minis and Back-Ups worked to grow the fanbase.

While I agreed that 3-D man didn't work when they revamped the series... I don't mind him being included now.

Not sure about the 3D Man joining. x/
On another note, that cover looks unappealing. Terry Dodson can do better.

Now this is a great idea and for them to expand within the Marvel Universe post Siege and entering the Heroic age is a great idea for new readers to look into them.

Congrats on your first post. Make sure you read the board rules.

I agree. And the artist will be a big reason why.

I probably won't buy it due to the art style.

Hardman's style does not work well on traditional superhero comic books. He needs to be drawing for Marvel's Crime Noir line instead.

This should lessen (though not eliminate) the belief in some cricles that the gorilla is going to be an Avenger.

No comment.

[streator]

i don't understand why marvel keeps on trying to make this book work.

Oh, I wouldn't say that.

[Fatguy]

Yeah, it's totally gonna be successful this time. Now that they've added Triathalon.
