Avengers Assemble Annual #1 *Spoilers*

**Swashbuckler** · 02-10-2013, 04:14 PM

I actually enjoyed this issue a lot. I felt it did an acceptable job of explaining why Vision isn't doing anything with the Avengers lately. I also feel it's setting up part of Age of Ultron in a low key way.

As I recall from Alias, she wasn't actually IN the Avengers, just encountered them once or twice. And judging from Iron Man's armor, that was well before Vision and Wanda had their kids.

Jewel is such trash. Who'd want to remember?

Mr. Gage,

I'd like to say a HUGE thank you for this story!

It was quite literally the perfect story. It was exactly what I was wanting, but hadn't really dared expect. He more often than not gets half effort from writers at best.

So, thank you.

Thanks! :)

Mr Gage,

Any chance of any one-shots with Vision and the boys, or Vision and Wanda reconciling?

This was one of the most beautiful, touching, heartwarming stories I've read this year! I know that's not saying much because it's only February but still! I'd love to see a Vision mini about him settling down and bonding with the twins.

How does that make her a horrible character? Because it doesn't. You are really reaching there.

If THAT's one of your main problems with this annual (which was fairly awful), then your priorities are terribly skewed. However, as you've never made a secret of your abject and virulent hate of anything associated with Brian Bendis, I am neither surprised nor shocked that Jessica's appearance in the story stirred up such phlegm and bile within you.

This, exactly.

She was also not involved with the baby drama anyway.

Probably not considering what's going on in YA.

If it's going to happen anywhere, it'll be in YA. Well, Vision interacting with the boys. Unless, of course, Tommy ends up elsewhere (I'm kinda hoping he joins Scott's X-men with his grandfather, actually).

A Vision and Wanda reconciliation seems unlikely. She and he seem to have reversed roles now. Where we saw him pining for her just prior to Disassembled, and she having none of it...we now see Wanda reaching out to him, and being brutally rebuffed at evcery turn. As Mr. Gage made clear in this issue, he's still very angry about her attack on him. It'll be a while before we see this resolved.

No idea on my end, sorry!

How about a Vision mini, Gage? I would LOVE to see more from you with him.

You know you wanna. :D

I really miss Academy. Hank Pym and Quicksilver are two of my favorite Avangers, and seeing them in this story along with the Vision makes me wish they were all with the team on a full time basis.

Maybe Avengers Academy will make a come back after Avengers Arena is over. I have trouble imagining the Arena concept as an indefinate on-going. Sooner or later they've gotta either get out of there or run out of teenage heroes to kill off.
