I seriously think that Marvel should hire me to write Mighty Avengers, it's time to clean this comic up.

[PhotoJones]

Don't be sad, be GLAAD.:o

She looks like a witch these days. She was my first celebrity crush...:csad:

[TheCorpulent1]

The amount of cursing is pretty ridiculous. Obviously Bendis is a foul-mouthed bastard two steps shy of a dirty sailor, but not everyone else in the world is. It's like reading a Tarantino film sometimes.

[PhotoJones]

For shame.

Seriously, what the **** is up with that ****?

[TheCorpulent1]

I know, I read it and I'm like, "What the **** is with all the goddamn cursing?" :dry:

[Sloth7d]

So noone is baffled as to why Sentry had trouble lifting the s.h.i.e.l.d. Base?
Or how its ironic that the initiative was made to decrease human fatalities and city destruction yet look what just happened here. Basically the intiative took away some of the superheroes rights for nothing.

See, but don't you get it. According to Bendis logic, the Hulk is the only hero that kills and injures people in his rampages/fights.

I actually did wonder the same thing when reading the Sentry/Helicarrier scene. I've got two theories:

1) Because he just went up against Ultron and didn't exactly win, his confidence was a little shaken. When Robert's confidence is shaken, he freezes up.
2) Bendis screwed up.

Either one is about as logical and likely as the other.

[Union Jack]

i do like the mighty avengers (although i prefer new avengers)...but as said before theres too much starred out cursing but more than that the one thing that bothers me is the think bubbles.

theres too many of them...while the character speaks theres an overkill of think bubbles with useless info and drivel in them.

The thought bubbles are something that I thought would grow on me, but so far they haven't.

[Varient]

And,............................

Still waiting for a good premise as to why Sentry was having trouble with the carrier.

ANYBODY who could whoop Galactus AND the Surfer is not going to break a sweat catching an Aircraft which doubles as an Aircraft carrier,...

[PhotoJones]

Was there something wrong with my two theories? :huh:

[Darthphere]

I swear get over the freaking helicarrier scene already. It reminds me of all the endless *****ing I did when Superman had trouble stopping a ****ing plane in Superman Returns.

[PhotoJones]

I just chalk it up to some confidence issues. That Rob, always freezing under pressure. :cwink:

[TheCorpulent1]

I think, frankly, people just need to stop thinking of Sentry as this uber-badass. He's been portrayed so far below par so consistently for so long now that I think we can safely write this off as his current, consistent power level with maybe a chance to jump up to higher levels in extreme situations. The Sentry is obviously no longer the Galactus-buster of old, which suits me fine. All of the super-powerful Earth characters tend to hover around the same strength tier--Hyperion, Thor, Hercules, Hulk, Juggernaut, etc.--so now Sentry's just in that same tier. No big deal, and not entirely unexpected given that we knew he'd have to be powered down for Bendis to use him consistently on a team. I actually prefer the weaker Sentry's constant presence over the more powerful Sentry's blink-and-you-miss-it appearances every third or fourth arc from before.

[Red]

Yeah, so does it bug anyone that a mass murdered is the comic relief in this book?

[Anubis]

I'd have rather they didn't put him on the team and just gave him an on-going. Preferbly not written by Bendis or Jenkins. Time for a fresh take on Bob by, I don't know, Robert Kirkman. Maybe he could do something with this character.

[Red]

I have faith Kirkman could do something with any character.

[Darthphere]

I have faith Kirkman could something with any character.

Apparently, he's been sucking ass on Ultimate X-Men. I don't know, since I refuse to read anything from the "Unverse" (:cwink: )

[Sloth7d]

Nope. Your latter opinion pretty much covers what I was thinking.

Did Bendis write that movie too?

[Red]

The something isn't always good. I'll give you that.

[BrianWilly]

There's comic relief?

Uh, I mean...who?

[PhotoJones]

It's catching on...

[Red]

Ares is apprently the comic relief.

[Sloth7d]

Ares is apprently the comic relief.

I thought the epidemic of random-thought-bubble-idus was the crappy relief...I mean comic relief.

[PhotoJones]

The book has such a light hearted, campy tone that's all comedy relief to me.

[TheCorpulent1]

Ditto. Everyone contributes their bit to comedy relief in MA. The thought bubbles are supposed to be part of that, too, but mostly they're just irritating and irrelevant.

Indeed.

[DoomJester]

I felt like Sentry should've ended at the Paul Jenkins/Jae Lee limited series. Sentry out. New Avengers Sentry... alright fine Bendis if you feel like you have to write everything. I'm sad at Ares. He isn't the strongest of the gods (even in Greek mythology) but he should still be owning. The problem with Mighty, I think, is that there are so many powerful people that you can't treat any one of them right or else your story would be over. Especially because this is an action comic. If it were like New Avengers with a shadowy threat or problems that couldn't quite be solved by punching them out (case in point-- JLA Tower of Babel, or even Justice) then Mighty would be fine with the way it treats it characters, but it is an action comic. Ares should be able to do this by himself. And this Ares is really really different from the Oeming series to the point where he is a different character but w/e Cho's art is good and part of me likes buying a lot of comics.

[PhotoJones]

Honestly, this book could be comedy gold, and people would still hate it.

[Anubis]

And yet, it continue to sell well. Go figure.

[PhotoJones]

It's cool to be a hater, apparently.

[Harlekin]

Don't be a hater hatah, bro.

[Red]

I only hate on this book, because it has some much potential and Bendis is dropping the ball with all of stuff that could work.

[PhotoJones]

I'm not a hater. I like the book. :up:

[Anubis]

Then drop the book and move on. Life is too short, and comics too pricey.

[Sloth7d]

Meh. I don't hate it. I just hate Bendis portrayal of The Sentry. And in NA I'm skeptical about his portrayal of Strange. These were my only complaints from the begining. Oh, and the thought bubbles were nice at first, but now its just getting ridiculous.

[PhotoJones]

Then drop the book and move on. Life is too short, and comics too pricey.

Words of wisdom that the typical fanboy is incapable of living by.

[Harlekin]

I'm not a hater. I like the book. :up:
I knowz, which is why I said: "Don't be a hater hatah, bro."

[PhotoJones]

I'm not hating. I just think it's funny the same people that rip on the book are the same people that spend $2.99 for it every month.

[Sloth7d]

Hey the cartoon nudity is worth it.

[PhotoJones]

^ That's sad. :csad:

[Sloth7d]

Don't feel sad. I need something to do on the bus ride home.

[PhotoJones]

^ That's gross.

[Anubis]

Don't worry. Blind_Fury has me covered there.

[Blaktin America]

2.99 is pretty good admission to ***** and moan.

[Xofenroht]

2.99 is pretty good admission to ***** and moan.

Seriously, I only read that title now for Ares (and to get a peep at Black Widow).

I hate Sentry though, all I want is for Thor to come back and kick his ass. Sure, Sentry's more powerful but no one can beat GOD! (Yeah I said it, Thor is GOD...*****es).

[TheCorpulent1]

Wow, a real-life Thorite. Do you consider Jurgens' Thor run your bible? ;)

At this point, Thor and the Sentry's relative power levels are up in the air. The Sentry's gotten much weaker since his debut while Thor was last seen at levels well beyond any terrestrial heroes (and most cosmic heroes). Who knows where they'll be when Thor returns. He could drop into New Avengers the next time the Mighty Avengers try to arrest them and blink the Sentry into another dimension, for all we know.

[Anubis]

Worked for Genis.

Wait is Thor as powerful as Zeus? I know asgardians are a much weaker species then Olympians [who are true immortals].

[Anubis]

Just because they're true immortals doesn't make them more powerful. Odin was more powerful than Zues, and Now Thor is more powerful than Odin. At least he was before he "Died".

[Eros]

It kind of does, since Olympians heal instantly, while asgardians could die from being stabbed and such.

Um, false.:huh:

Yea, asgardians require magical aid to recover from serous injuries according to their bio. while Olympians will heal from almost anything, unless their body is vaporized and such.

I was reffering to their marvel.com bio mostly, and the wikipedia Bio which says the same thing. Although the marvel.com bios are some times dubious, the official handbook says the same crap. I think all those things would be considered sources.

First off that was a Titan named prometheus and he was not changed to a rock, he was chainned to one until Heracles freed him.

[Anubis]

Don't you ever correct my grammer or spelling dik cheese.

[Kitsune]

Isn't that also the guy who had to sacrifice some of his life force to heal Herc, when the Master of Evil beat the #*$% out of him? Notice how instantly Herc healed from that.

[Ahura Mazda]

Don't you ever correct my grammer or spelling dik cheese.

First off, please do not insult me when I have not insulted you and second how can anything I stated be a correction of your spelling or grammar when I was clarifying the story of Prometheus who was punished for giiving fire to men.

Ok, I get it. You got me :up:

Very cool avatar by the way.

[Anubis]

Why thank you. You should really get yours resized to 100 X100.

[TheCorpulent1]

Being immortal doesn't mean you heal instantly from anything. Hercules is immortal and he's been getting his ass kicked for years without healing instantly. The Olympians can bleed, get knocked out, and be injured. They just won't die. Except, of course, if they're fighting other gods, since Mikaboshi's forces killed quite a few Olympians in Ares' mini-series.

The Asgardians are, as a whole, more powerful than the Olympians. The average Asgardian male is significantly stronger than the average Olympian male, while the average female of both races are roughly equal. On top of that, Odin is far more powerful than Zeus, and Thor, while not quite as strong as Hercules, has a much wider array of powers, making him more powerful overall. The fact that the Olympians are true immortals while the Asgardians merely age at a very, very, very slow rate has absolutely nothing to do with their respective power levels.

[Anubis]

^Truth.

[Xofenroht]

Wow, a real-life Thorite. Do you consider Jurgens' Thor run your bible? ;)

Pffft...bizzitch PLEASE! I consult the Norns mu'fuucka.

No, but really, my tattoo is written in Norse runes. But that was before I started reading Marvel's "Thor".

[TheCorpulent1]

That's cool. I decided when I was younger that if I ever got a tattoo, it'd be some runes. I just haven't really wanted to get a tattoo since then. :o

It definitely helps if you spell something out with it. Mine is spelled with runic M, I, N and K in the center of a horned circle. I've got to get another though, just haven't figured out a good design for it yet.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I figured I'd spell my name in runes or something, but I'd just feel kind of awkward. First, because I don't really want a tattoo, it was just a whim I happened to think of that day; second, because my ethnic background is Indian with some black and Chinese mixed in--pretty much as far in the opposite direction from Norse as you can possibly go.

Yeah, I'm black, Cherokee, Blackfoot, french and Irish myself. I just did it out of respect for the Norse Pantheon (I love their stories).

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, at least you've got the French and Irish working for you.

[Vanguard07]

I have no idea as to my background since both my parents were adopted.

As a result I just adopt whatever background I decide I like at any given time.

This year I'm Japanese-Australian.
I gotta tell you it's pretty sweet.

[Sebastos]

There wasn't a solicit for the August issue correct?

[Upset Spideyfan]

None that I saw.

[Vanguard07]

I see. I've never been.
I've only actually been outside of Canada twice.

[Artistsean]

When is this Ultron story over? Just wondering.

[LouFerignoDemon]

By issue 20.

[Upset Spideyfan]

Ba-Dum Psssh!



Seriously though, issue 5.

[Mogwai]

then it's symbiotes...and doctor doom ;)

[Eros]

I like this new hot female Ultron, its breasts are so big......

[Kevin]

ha!:woot: No, they are, though. I can't even help but stare.

[Sebastos]

Cho draws excellent women. :D

[Sloth7d]

So, one things HAS been bugging me. Since when has Kei Kishimoto--I mean Black Widow been level a 10 ranking officer? Or atleast above Ms.Marvel in rank?

[PhotoJones]

Black Widow used to lead the Avengers. It's not like she's some kind of chump. And aside from maybe Fury himself, she's the world's foremost superspy.

[TheCorpulent1]

I wasn't aware Black Widow even worked for SHIELD, myself. I thought she was a Russian spy turned superheroine. I guess at some point she quit superheroing and went back into the spy game (and apparently lost her established personality at some point, as well).

That's pretty cool, I'm just stuck with Scotch-Irish, German, and a little Welsh.
All though according to what my mother found in searching her side of the family, I am descended from one of Uthor Pendragon's daughters.

[chris moore]

I think there was a Bio on her in the Secret Wars mini series written by Fury. Don't remember him mentioing her being as high a level as that. I do remember him saying that in an ideal world he would have Logan on his payroll as a level 10 though.

[Upset Spideyfan]

I wasn't aware Black Widow even worked for SHIELD, myself. I thought she was a Russian spy turned superheroine. I guess at some point she quit superheroing and went back into the spy game (and apparently lost her established personality at some point, as well).


Yeah, she's been doing work for SHIELD since WAY back.

[TheCorpulent1]

Working with them, sure, but I thought it was in the same capacity that Captain America worked with SHIELD. Not technically an agent--more like a consultant Fury could call in when he knew none of his agents could get the job done and he was too busy directing things to do it himself.

They're freelance agents. They all have SHIELD clearance and access to SHIELD files, but they're not obligated to anything.

[TheCorpulent1]

Her outranking Ms. Marvel seems to make little sense, then.

Also, I just noticed: there is no "maybe." Nick Fury is the foremost superspy.

[PhotoJones]

She outranks everyone. Except Fury. Fury probably has rankings for himself that only he knows about.

And I've got a couple old Nick Fury: AoS comics that would put him at about equal to Natasha.

[TheCorpulent1]

He is vastly superior to her in every way.

Except in the having-two-eyes way. :(

[PhotoJones]

She's outsmarted him many times in the past.

LoL that was probably an LMD. Nobody beats fury at the spy game.

No...it was Fury. Like I said, I own the issues.

So? Espionage isn't the same as being smart.

[Darthphere]

What a pointless debate. Fury>Natasha. It's no contest.

Just to play devils advocate here, Natasha has never been played by David Hastlehoff. That is a point in her favor.

All of the Kossaks probably would go with the Hoff too.

[PhotoJones]

So? Espionage isn't the same as being smart.

True. But is is a big part of it. And Fury's got an entire espoinage organization at his disposal (or did), while Natasha's always been on her own.

My original point was that I don't consider Fury "vastly" superior to Natasha. I think of them of them as equals. The American and the Russian equivalents.

[Darthphere]

Still wrong.

[PhotoJones]

Just to play devils advocate here, Natasha has never been played by David Hastlehoff. That is a point in her favor.

I've been hearing plans to release the Nick Fury movie AND Generation X in a DVD mini box set thing. Probably a (very) cheap way to cash in the successes of big screen comic book movies.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'd buy that. I'll buy most comic-based DVDs.

[PhotoJones]

I'd buy that. I'll buy most comic-based DVDs.

You know, Nick Fury sucked hard. But Generation X had it's moments. I actually really liked some of the dialogue.

That said, Finola Hughes was a travesty.

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't really remember Generation X. Mostly I remember thinking the guy who played Banshee 1) looked nothing like Banshee and 2) wasn't Irish.

But yes, Nick Fury was a sad waste of celluloid.

[PhotoJones]

There were a lot of nods to the fans in Generation X. That said, there were also many, many flaws...But the budget was shoe string, and the last scene was both eyeball roll worthy and geek moment.

[GhostPoet]

So..I finally just started reading the Mighty Avengers...

and I gotta say, i'm really dissapointed.
the writing really wasn't that good...the plot so far with the female Ultron isn't anything exciting and the characters sometimes just don't act like themselves...

I wonder if they knew the writing wasn't good...because that would explain why just about every page has blatant over the top fan service...and I hate fan service...I want to be able to respect the female heroes...unfortunetly, it seems like all they are good for is sex appeal. the artist seems to go out of his way to bend and morph the female characters into positions that show off their butts as super-powered whores. The female Ultron (ie see nude woman) is about as blatant as you can get...I wish they'd concentrate on a real story instead of how many "hot women" they can draw.

THANKFULLY I can still respect the Ms. Marvel character...she hasn't really been that whore-ified yet. But poor Black Widow...they might as well as just made her naked...and what use is she once she runs out of tech gadgets to use during a SUPER-POWERED firefight? She's just human, right?

I'm just really dissapointed...with the story and the blatant over-use of fan service...where's the quality and mature treatment of the characters? =(

[LouFerignoDemon]

Ms. Marvel? Not a whore? Oh! You meant artwork wise.

It's still easy to respect the females that Bendis writes. Pretty much all he writes are strong females. That's why all of the female members of the team have solved the problem individually while all the male members have either been killed, told to bench, are sitting there taking a beating, or have been nearly killed.

[GhostPoet]

I don't know. I just can't respect the characters when the fan-service is soooo over the top.

[LouFerignoDemon]

Yeah, we actually complained about that in another thread, and I can agree easily.

When the visuals and story collide so harshly rather than complement each other, it's hard.

But unfortunately, people have to look past it eventually. Sorry. =/

[GhostPoet]

I'm sure it'll improve...i'm actually only up to issue 2...isn't 3 already out?
I know sometimes a series sometimes start out rough around the edges...it could just be their way of bringing in more readers I suppose.

Maybe after this Ultron stuff...I actually started reading the series due to World War Hulk coming out soon. Trying to get my Iron Man fix. =)

[LouFerignoDemon]

Well, Bendis just sucks with telling a story without needing forty five issues to decompress it sometimes.

[Blacklight]

what's the official MA roster?

[Anubis]

Iron Man
Sentry
Black Widow
Ms. Marvel
Wasp
Ares
Wonderman

[Blacklight]

the new avengers has one up on them. they should get another member.

[Mogwai]

I'm sure they will in upcoming issues.

[Blacklight]

i'm thinking either yellowjacket or captain marvel.

[Mogwai]

i was thinking thor.

[Sloth7d]

Thinking of a pro registered Thor makes me queasy. Besides they have Sentry, Ms.Marvel, and Wonderman already. They don't need him

the new avengers has one up on them. they should get another member.
They're powerful enough without an eighth

[TheCorpulent1]

I doubt Thor would join either Avengers team right now. Whenever the Avengers reunite after the fallout of Civil War is over, Marvel'll probably treat Thor's return to the team as a big deal. They seem to be trying pretty hard to make people remember that Thor is and always has been a major cornerstone of the Marvel universe.

Agreed. I really couldn't see Thor siding with either, neither. (x.x)

Thor would probably look at the SHRA, and it would remind him of when he was basically running things (though it wouldn't be the same, Thor doesn't enjoy doing things that REMIND him of bad things). Especially if Tony is running it, as it would be a slap to ze face!

He also wouldn't like the New Avengers, who, in effect, don't solve anything, and just sit around and whine most of the time, or kill ninjas.

He tends to like to be at the forefront of a solution that makes sense to him on some level. But he also doesn't like to be commanded by mortals who just say they're above him.

He'll probably do this whole, "I'm gonna do undercover stuff."

[TheCorpulent1]

I figure he'll probably look at the sad state the humans are in and just decide, "Know thee what? Asgard was just destroyed and recreated. Verily, it doth need my attention more than these squabbling brats!" Then he'd sit down and try to figure out what the hell happened to the other gods and how he could get them back.

[LouFerignoDemon]

Especially Zeus.

[TheCorpulent1]

Whatever, he doesn't care about those filthy Olympians.

[LouFerignoDemon]

He will when he sees Ares on the Mighty Avengers.

[TheCorpulent1]

He'll probably be like, "zomg wtf teh Avengers r lam0r now lolz"

[Darthphere]

He'll probably be like, "zomg wtf teh Avengers r lam0r now lolz"

You got JMS script too?

[TheCorpulent1]

lolz!

[Darthphere]

They should so something like that whole 'Nuff Said thing, but with leet.

[Upset Spideyfan]

*Shudder

[Darthphere]

Imagine reading Captain America "1r0n Man is running teh h4x!"

[TheCorpulent1]

Spider-Man: d00d, were teh Avnegers!!! we r teh l33t3st badazz3s evarrrr!!!!!!11
Wolverine: lolz omg ur such a n00b

[GhostPoet]

Hum...I actually canceled my subscription for Mighty Avengers...man, I just couldn't get into it...I still like the New Avengers better.

did Iron Man REALLY turn into a female Ultron? I'm assuming if it's the case...that the Iron Man series will also be effected in some way...

[TheCorpulent1]

It seems like it wasn't really Iron Man. After NA #31, it's probably going to be revealed that the Iron Man who turned into the female Ultron was a Skrull.

You guys can stop now,...

[Blacklight]

here's a crazy idea, maybe cap will join if he's not dead. tony's probably just revamping cap in secret with his own armor.

[Anubis]

Nope. Cap's dead.

[TheCorpulent1]

Sometimes I like to dream, too.

Eh, I'm enjoying Mighty Avengers better.

Either way, there's one of two things that will happen. It will turn out that Tony's fine, or that it was an armor being remotely piloted by Tony (which is so easy for him now, it's ridiculous.)

[Blacklight]

Nope. Cap's dead.


they could make a clone or cyborg of him.

[TheCorpulent1]

They probably already have.

[Nasty-B]

Yes, but the important part is that they shouldn't

[Upset Spideyfan]

Hey, #4's coming out this month, right? I haven't seen it on the Diamonds list for this week.

[Blaktin America]

I still think we're gonna see Cap in an armor. So I agree with Xman

[Blacklight]

yeah, red white and blue armor. with his sheild of course.
iron captain america
has a nice ring to it.

[WolfCypher]

I don't see this posted anywhere, & I apoligize in advance if this is old news but I have found the cover to part 1 of the next arc.

http://comicsmedia.ign.com/comics/image/article/796/796709/mighty-avengers-the-20070614050221767.jpg

[Blaktin America]

Iron Cap will have to save them

[Mogwai]

I'm wondering if any of the Avengers will bond with a symbiote.

[CaptainCanada]

Jan is showing off her fine, fine ass on that cover.

[fifthfiend]

they could make a clone or cyborg of him.

Or they could turn him into a black guy.

Or hey I know, have sentient technology from his home planet turn itself into a simulacrum of him while regenerating the actual Captain America in a vat of special fluid infused with the solar energy that gives him his powers.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

[Darthphere]

I know they had to for selling and identification purposes, but it bothers me that they all have the Venom logo.

[Anubis]

That's what I was about to say.

[Darthphere]

That's what I was about to say.

Yeah, I know why they did it. Because you want all those kids to be "OMGZ 5 Venomz!!1!11!" but it still makes little sense.

[Max Shrek]

How does a symbiote beat Sentry?

[Kevin]

My god, that front symbiote looks terrible.

[Anubis]

Same way Venom Beat Superman. Bad writing.

[Blacklight]

Or they could turn him into a black guy.

Or hey I know, have sentient technology from his home planet turn itself into a simulacrum of him while regenerating the actual Captain America in a vat of special fluid infused with the solar energy that gives him his powers.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

going on that, they could use his blood to duplicate the super-soldier serum then give it to someone else, or just transfuse cap's blood directly into someone else.

[Red]

So any takes on Ares bonding with a symbiot?

[TheCorpulent1]

going on that, they could use his blood to duplicate the super-soldier serum then give it to someone else, or just transfuse cap's blood directly into someone else.
The Super Soldier Serum isn't active in Cap's body anymore. After he died, it just fizzled out for some reason. His corpse is now as scrawny as his original body, before he ever got the serum.

[Kitsune]

they could make a clone or cyborg of him.

For those of you who play City of Heroes, I think Tony is turning into Countess Crey.

[Blaktin America]

Skrulls................all Skrulls.

[Kitsune]

Skrulls................all Skrulls.
Everyone you know is really a Skrull

[PhotoJones]

I could swear that for a few days out of every month, my girlfriend is replaced by a Skrull.

[LouFerignoDemon]

Elaborating on that, I also believe it couldn't simply be replicated, as it seemed to really only work on Cap, and the fifty Cap offshoots.

[Ahura Mazda]

On a side note, I just got Mighty Avengers 3 having had subscribed to it a month ago :dry:

I do not quite get how the Sentry has a hard time with Ultron and then the helicarrier.

Plus another thing, does any of this tie in with WWH? How does Iron man appear in both and gets defeated twice?

[chris moore]

Sentry appears to be a bit like Gladiator in that his powers are only as strong and as effective as his confidence - but if he gets too confident, too comfrtable, lets himself relax in who he is and what he can do too much; then the void comes out to play.

Cos half the time, he's rubbish. Until they specify this guy's powers beyond "the power of a thousand/million exploding suns" (which really tells us jack all) with superstrength, speed and flight (whoo flippin hoo) than I'm gonna continue to be utterly unimpressed with the invention. The premise of his original story about a hero and stan lee creation forgotten was good - his involvement in the MU since, is terrible.

[Ahura Mazda]

I find it kind of stupid. Because Ultron was almost handling the Sentry even catching his fist.

How the hell did this guy stand up to Galactus? Plus defeat the Hulk the way the Void did just does not ciorrespond to a guy who needs help with the helicarrier and who Ultron makes bleed.

By the way, any one on my question regarding iron Man?

[TheCorpulent1]

The Sentry's simply lost a lot of power lately for practical reasons. It's not like we didn't expect him to be depowered when he joined the Avengers. At least they make a vague attempt at explaining it, unlike other super-powerful Avengers who've just randomly forgotten how to half the things they're capable of when they're fighting alongside others against threats they could easily take by themselves.

Do you have anybody in mind *cough*Thor*cough* ;)

[TheCorpulent1]

No, of course not. I totally wasn't thinking of him at all when I wrote that... ;)

[Sloth7d]

Don't forget Dr.Strange.

Avenger:Can't you just teleport us to Japan.

Dr.Strange:No, I can't do that. I can teleport you to hell, several pocket dimensions, out of the place where they're holding a fake Captain America corps, out of the hands base of operations, and several other places but I can't take you to Japan.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, that was kind of stupid. It's like he forgot Japan's number or something.

[GhostPoet]

By the sound of it...this series isn't sounding like it's improving. :P am I wrong??

[TheCorpulent1]

It's not really improving. But I thought it started off fun, if a little stupid and not as funny as it thinks it is.

[GhostPoet]

Are they still doing the thought bubbles?

[PhotoJones]

Yes.

[Kitsune]

I could swear that for a few days out of every month, my girlfriend is replaced by a Skrull.

That could be a good thing. If your girlfriend is a Skrull you could have her impersonate a different person every time you made out. Wouldn't that be cool?:woot:

[PhotoJones]

For a minute, maybe. I'd still have the image of that Skrully chin in the back of my mind, though.

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe it's not as gross in real life as it looks. Ask your girlfriend.

[PhotoJones]

Maybe it's not as gross in real life as it looks. Ask your girlfriend.

Her...period...as a Skrull has passed.

[Darthphere]

Thought bubbles....getting.....annoying.

[PhotoJones]

I was hoping they'd grow on me. They haven't.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, the off-the-cuff humor evidently isn't Bendis' strong suit, no matter how much he'd bombard us with it to--I can only guess--bludgeon us into thinking otherwise...

[Red Mask]

http://i7.tinypic.com/4z0sn44.jpg

Last heroes standing! That's why she's in charge!

[Mogwai]

^^agreed.

[Kevin]

http://i7.tinypic.com/4z0sn44.jpg

Last heroes standing! That's why she's in charge!
what issue is this for?

[Darthphere]

Notice the rip on her costume. We should be able to see nipple.

[Sloth7d]

Haha. Shes beat up while Sentry and Ares are virtually unharmed. I don't know why I find that funny.

[TheCorpulent1]

The Sentry's costume isn't even dirty or anything.

[PhotoJones]

That's because he hasn't done anything.

[LouFerignoDemon]

The Sentry's costume isn't even dirty or anything.

He's just that good. Ahoy!

[Ahura Mazda]

Why isn't the God of War in charge. I don't quite get that.

[TheCorpulent1]

Because he's too vicious. He'd kill pretty much everyone who looks at the Mighty Avengers wrong.

[Sloth7d]

Yeah. I'm still baffled why he even joined the Avengers in the first place. He's not the type to bow down to threats from mortals.

[TheCorpulent1]

They offered to match his construction pay with the prospect of killing things. If your entire life were devoted to death and destruction and you suddenly find yourself working construction, wouldn't you prefer to go back to the death and destruction if you were gonna get paid the same?

[Sloth7d]

Its more about how Ironman came at him in the first place, before offering him money.

[Anubis]

Well, it's not like IM couldn't simply get some of the many people that could kick his ass together to do so. Plus, you know, he was gonna get paid.

[Sloth7d]

Yeah. Your right. I'm just nit picking.

[LouFerignoDemon]

Yeah. I'm still baffled why he even joined the Avengers in the first place. He's not the type to bow down to threats from mortals.


He cared about his son.

[Eros]

He cared about his son.


what a punk.

[TheCorpulent1]

Shyeah. Fatherhood's for pussies. :o

[Blaktin America]

When your son is half-god you may just wanna be a tad nicer to him

[TheCorpulent1]

Sure. If you're a pussy.

[Ahura Mazda]

Who is Ares' son? The only son I knew about died during the mythological times.

[TheCorpulent1]

He had a kid with a mortal woman sometime between Oeming's mini-series and his last appearance. He's been raising his son as a normal kid on Earth.

[PhotoJones]

He already had the kid during Oeming's mini.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, by "last" I meant his last appearance before the mini. I guess "previous" would've worked better.

[PhotoJones]

Ur not making cents.

[TheCorpulent1]

That's because I make dollars instead. :o

[PhotoJones]

Yeah, well I sign checks.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, well I smoke rocks.

[CaptHale86]

Does anyone find it a disgrace that Tony Stark wants to replace Captain America so soon after his death. :cmad: I am a huge Captain America fan so I was upset that Cap died and it should have been Tony. I was happy when Hawkeye turned down the job of the new Captain America. :oldrazz:

[Mogwai]

^^yes, it seems out of character. i find it odd that he has no respect for the man.

[Sloth7d]

It makes sense. Heres an exxagerated example. Like when a guy is so hurt by a girl who breaks up with him. He rebonds to the next chick that talks to him because he wants to forget about that girl by replacing her. Basically Tony wants to forget about Steve Rogers.

[Artistsean]

Thats even what Clint said.
"You want me to be Captain America to take off some of the guilt. But I wont do that."
something like that.

[Kevin]

when's the next issue supposed to come out? I actually like this book a lot.

[Upset Spideyfan]

According to Marvel's site: July 11.

[Kevin]

Kool, thanks. And another thing, after re-reading issue 3, ultron really has big boobs. for no reason. I like her, not for the boobs, but the fight she had with Sentry was hella awesome! He punched her in the face and it created a sonic boom, WTH?!? Awesome!

EDIT: it was more of a shock wave, not sonic boom.:o:O

[Mogwai]

when's the next issue supposed to come out? I actually like this book a lot.

me too, it's one of my favs.

[pblimp360]

Since no one has posted it yet.

Here's the preview for Mighty Avengers #4

http://www.popcultureshock.com/index.php?p=42264

[pblimp360]

Look how shocked Ares is after Sentry grabbed him. lol!

[Sloth7d]

So, its coming out on the 25th, now. Two whole weeks delayed man. But I really like this book, so I'll deal with it.

[Ahura Mazda]

Damn means I will not get mine until August.

[Red Mask]

Hank Pym just gets no respect.

[TheCorpulent1]

Since no one has posted it yet.

Here's the preview for Mighty Avengers #4

http://www.popcultureshock.com/index.php?p=42264
Wow. Marvel at Cho's ability to delay a book for weeks on end in order to cut and paste the same panel a dozen times. :dry:

Also, the snarky thought bubbles are really annoying now. Bendis, if you're reading: your "new spin" on thought bubbles is a failure. Stop now. Please.

[PhotoJones]

The firewall here at work is continuing it's grudge against Popcultureshock. :down

[TheCorpulent1]

It's not that great. Ultron babbles on and on, Ares is rabidly violent for no apparent reason, the Mighty Avengers speak civilly to each other on the surface while Bendis makes it clear that everyone hates everyone else through thought bubbles, and Hank Pym gets made a fool of. Standard Bendis fare, really.

[PhotoJones]

Hank gets made a fool? How so?

[TheCorpulent1]

He appears on the scene and immediately, Ms. Marvel and the Black Widow start cursing at him in their thought bubbles for creating Ultron in the first place. He starts talking about how he never programmed Ultron to look like Jan and Jan thinks--with what I interpreted to be sarcasm--"then who did?" Ares says something that equates to "rabble rabble rabble you made Ultron, so stop her rabble rabble" and Hank calmly and politely explains that he made Ultron, but he can't necessarily stop her because she's now smarter than he is, while thinking "Thor-Lite" at Ares. Ares replies, "rabble rabble how can she be smarter than you rabble rabble if you created rabble her rabble rabble?" That's the end of the preview's last page. Hank doesn't get made too much a fool of in the preview, even though various characters are still *****ing at him for creating Ultron after all these years, but it seems like Bendis is setting him up to be made a fool of.

Hmm...Well, at least Slott seems to be making some good use of Hank over in Avengers: Initiative.

[TheCorpulent1]

Unless that Hank is a Skrull, which I believe he is.

[PhotoJones]

Unless that Hank is a Skrull, which I believe he is.

I would highly doubt that. Why would a Skrull be concerned about Hank's public persona and actually think to himself, "This will be what they remember me for"? The Hank Pym in issue #2 seemed to have no problem sacrificing himself for the greater good against the Hydra agents, something a Skrull would never have done.

[TheCorpulent1]

Of course, the more heroic Hank looks, the more powerful and beloved by the public he becomes. Another Skrull could always replace him if the one currently impersonating Hank dies. It's all about the risk/benefit ratio.
