It's sort of cool that Banner is getting some nice panel time in a book. I think in a team setting it's somewhat easy to forget he's even around.

I didn't really follow the Hulk book to well... is Banner no longer all psychotic and evil? I thought he was for awhile there.

I have to say, when I read the Avengers Tower scene, Stark sounds like RDJ.

Its best the events of that run are just forgotten.

Otherwise we're gonna need PAD to write Tempus Fugit 2: It was all a dream, again.

I rather enjoyed the dialogue and the art is generally appealing...Tony def looked like Downey, down to the goat-tee.

Looks interesting, I really enyoyed Banner´s speech and maybe that point of view could be an interesting issue added to the series. I´m going to give it a chance to this book.

Is this in continuity, because Banner is now a little floating orb around the Hulk with a tiara?

Banner is still Banner here, and everywhere in the MU.

Avengers Assemble is in continuity? I thought it was just a book with a writer having a little fun and handwaving everything.

Dang, that's a lovely Bobby Rubio cover.

I do find it mildly funny that Captain Marvel is making lunch(?) while in full costume.

So how do you explain those pics with Hulk and the orb?

Seems a bit premature to claim Banner's in there and never capable of showing up as himself when we've seen him in preview pics for Waid's Hulk, don't you think? It could easily be the mode of communication Hulk's S.H.I.E.L.D. team uses. (espiecally when it's been referred to as a "him/them" in an interview)

I find it funny that Marvel had to point that out to all the readers. It's like saying, "Don't worry why some of these characters are alive, acting out of character, or how they escaped a collapsed universe. This story is in continuity, but we don't have to explain HOW."

It would be like me making an X-men comic and using Pyro as one of the bad guys, despite the fact he's dead, and turning towards the readers and saying, "This story is in continuity. But don't worry why it doesn't make sense or even follow up to what was happening to the character before I took over. I COULD explain the changes with a few panels, but it's not important! He was dead in the previous appearance, but my script demands he's alive without an explanation now."

Very fun. If JiM and Morbius do not click for me, maybe I will give this a whirl.
