Parker & Shalvey Re-Assemble Marvel's "Dark Avengers"

[Joe Franklin]

Is Ghost still apart of this book?

Yes he is.

[Sam Robards, Comic Fan]

I'm going to be jumping on at issue 175 with the title switch because I'm interested in how this Dark Avengers squad interacts since they weren't given too much to do in New Avengers besides gets beat.

I am sick of the Thor clone. First he survived getting his head smashed by Hercules, then he survives getting trashed by Thor and THEN he survives getting trashed by the New Avengers. The guy just won't go away. I mean, how are you going to make his personality differ ANY from Thor?

I also love Jeff Parker's Hulk, so I'm looking forward to seeing how Parker works with this team.

As for the art, it could be worse, but it could be better. Not a deal-breaker for me.

[Monty_Cristo]

The art is fantastic.

it certainly fits the title/it has grown on me. i like him better for Venom's book, though.

[The Black Guardian]

The plot sounds like an editorialy mandated mess. How many people actually care about Spider God Dude, Clor, Trickshot, and the rest of the lame Dark Avengers? Give us Songbird, Moonstone, Ghost, Mach-V, Cain Marko, Boomer, and Troll full time, just call them the Dark Avengers.

This! This! This! This! This! Why does Marvel replace gold with turds?

And STOP with the Avengers pastiche villains!! They suck! All of them. If villains cannot stand on their own without trying to be like heroes, then they are not worth ink.

[Countgate]

This! This! This! This! This! Why does Marvel replace gold with turds?

Because they already did it in #163.

[sparticus]

I'm excited by this, but slightly worried how Parker et al will balance everyone out. That's one big cast. Maybe they'll kill off Clor or someone to make some space.

[Imraith Nimphais]

I have officially dropped TB's as of issue 173...I do not care at all for any of the Dark Avengers rejects and While Shalvey's art isn't bad and I have come to tolerate it, ...I am not paying 3,00 for just ten pages of art and characters I like...presuming that they are doing the half DA/Shalvey and half TB's/Walker issue structure that was reported a while ago.

How about you ASK JEFF PARKER ON TWITTER?!

The link is there. Ask away!

Has he ever answered any of YOUR questions?

[Songbird/Diamondback]

Has he ever answered any of YOUR questions?

Yes! Quite a few times!

[One More Day]

Yes! Quite a few times!

Oh do you think he would know what the plans are for MOONSTONE in Thunderbolts?

[Joebleau]

Ouchhh bad art

[mugiwara]

Lol, so Fixer's dead and Pym is in a third ongoing?
Just finish the job, guys: kill Mach V and Songbird and replace them with Iron Man and Black Widow. They're only in 2 team books right now.

[Songbird/Diamondback]

Oh do you think he would know what the plans are for MOONSTONE in Thunderbolts?

Well, he's the writer.

Ouchhh bad art

Why do people think this is bad art? Is it because it's not hyper realistic?

Lol, so Fixer's dead and Pym is in a third ongoing?
Just finish the job, guys: kill Mach V and Songbird and replace them by Iron Man and Black Widow. They're only in 2 team books right now.

No! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[Lady_Alternate]

Lol, so Fixer's dead and Pym is in a third ongoing?

Well, to be fair, Pym is at best a tertiary supporting character in Secret and a supporting character to the kids in Academy, so a third supporting role isn't exactly out of the bounds of reason.

Just finish the job, guys: kill Mach V and Songbird and replace them with Iron Man and Black Widow. They're only in 2 team books right now.

Oh dear gods don't say that you'll set S/D... off... ah, too late.

*fetches hot towels and smelling salts*

[CTpitch]

Why do people think this is bad art? Is it because it's not hyper realistic?

I'm not getting it either? I mean the name change yes... but its still the same creative team and even almost the same Thunderbolts team with new members
are TB fans really going to let some of their favourite characters go into limbo because of a title change?
