Avengers or New Avengers

[Phelpzy]

I just started pickig up Secret AVengers since Remender took over, but I'd like to follow a regular Avengers title, I know Bendis wrote both, but which is better. I follow all the Ultimate Titles, wolvie and x-men, venom, amazing spiderman, and uncanny x-force so I have no knowledge of any of the characters besides wolvie and spidey in avengers titles, I quit reading cap when Bucky went on trail as Cap, Thor when it became Moghty Thor/journey into, and iron man after stark resilient vol 1 so the big 3 I have no knowledge past the , but wanna try a avengers title

Frankly, I'd suggest Avengers Academy, as I think that one has a much better grasp on the characters it uses, and has a story that doesn't stagnate as much as either Avengers or New Avengers. The writing is very strong and the artwork is typically solid, for what is clearly a "stepchild" sort of book. It's consistently very entertaining, whereas I honestly find those other two books frustrating more often than not.

It's also about more than just the kid characters, in case you're one of those fans. >_>

I thought about Academy but I have no idea who even stars in it. I read the first issue of New and Avengers and liked avengers more, but I'm not gonna go by just one issue.

Since they have the same author, I would suggest buying the one with the characters or art that you like better.

Does the artist in Avengers change? And I can't stand Luke Cage so I guess imma be getting Avengers if I start, is it a series thats even worth reading?

[TonyStark1012]

I'd go with Avengers. I've enjoyed most of the issues except for the Fear Itself tie ins.

I would avoid Avenger's Academy. i foudn it boring and it is like a boring WatXM.

I like New Avengers better personally. I like most of the characters more, plus i thought there arcs were a little better. I found almost all of the Avengers stories as boring as heck.

The artists in the current runs have all changed multiple times.

And I really wish more people would give books a try regardless of familiarity with certain characters. How will you ever know if something is good if you only seek out your favorites, even though the book they're featured in isn't that good? You could end up having a new favorite by learning about them in a book you might have previously overlooked.

Honestly, it is not my cup of tea. But it is very popular and a lot of people like it. Not knowiung anything about your reading tastes all I can say is pick up a few issues and try it. If you don't like it, you waste twenty bucks and learn a lesson. If you do, you have years of Bendis-Avengers back issues to look forward to.

You're asking us to choose the lesser of two evils here lol. I'd go with New Avengers, but if you can't stand Luke Cage, go with Avengers.

Toward the top o this thread I have the titles I read,but here they are again, all Ultimate Titles, WatX, uncanny x-force, VENOM!, Amazing Spiderman, Scarlet Spider, and Secret Avengers

[LeonardEugenius]

I enjoy the dynamic in New Avengers more. To me, there's a greater sense of camaraderie

[Songbird/Diamondback]

There's no difference between the books. The two teams even crossover all the time.

Read Academy. Who cares if you don't know the characters, know someone who isn't already famous! Ya bum!

I don't read any of those titles regularly except Secret Avengers and I haven't read the Remender issues (which I think you said is where your started) since I am a trade waiter. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

[Nomads1]

Honestly, I'd say you picked a terrible time to start sampling these titles. For the next few months they are going to be completly immersed in AvsX cross-overs and tie-ins. Last issue of New Avengers didn't even feature ANY New Avengers. A couple of months after that, Bendis will leave the title, and who knows who will replace him or even what will happen with the titles. If I were you, I'd wait it out, and start from the ground up with the new guy and the new status quo. If you really are that anxious to get into some regular Avengers book, I'd go with the suggestion of Avengers Academy, I gather they'll be less involved directly into AvsX than any of the other titles.

Peace
