Presumably this will show the team reuniting, as well as the start of the conflict with HYDRA that is supposedly finished in the first act of the movie.

Ooo neat. I'm not overly crazy about the prequel comics (Except for Fury's Big Week) but I'll definitely give this one a read. It seems to feature the Avengers working as as a unit, a finely tuned machine of sorts, which I love as I'm a sucker for the team aspect. And it actually doesn't look like we'll be getting a ton of that in the film if Ultron is trying to tear them apart.

A colouring poster?! SOLD

I hope we'll see some of HYDRA's bigwigs, Wolfgang von Strucker or Daniel Whitehall.

 

[CoherentChaos]

Would be cool if their first mission as a fully realized team (not counting the New York invasion, since I don't feel they were really a team, not like they are just before being disassembled by Ultron) involved a battle with Graviton. Of course Strucker pulling the strings would be cool, but I'd like to also see them take on a powerhouse in this comic.

I think they are saving Graviton for Agents of Shield. he's still encased in the gravitonium as seen at the end of the last season and now they have a superpowered Agent with Quake

 

[CoherentChaos]

True, but I don't feel as though the Agents have the ability to take down Graviton. Even with Quake, Graviton is the kind of super villain that only the Avengers can really hope to defeat.

That is unless he's severely gimped or the Agents employ some kind of deus ex machina to exploit some sort of weakness.

 

[ctsketch]

AOS will probably nerf him

 

[CoherentChaos]

Yeah probably. I think Absorbing Man had a good showing though, so going off that, I believe that even if they nerf Graviton, he should still be a significant threat.

Great Pic, I like how caps shoulders As are bigger than in the cinematic costume

*Tries best to scroll past Widow, dosn't work*

WOAH wait? I see Banner in the quinjet crash, I thought for a second he was fighting with the Avengers as Banner. Which would've been *puts on glasses* Incredible.


As for Graviton. That looks like a job for the Defenders.

Bruce Banner barely resembles the MCU Bruce but eh, not bad

 

[gildedmuse]

For some reason that last box had me giggling like mad.

"Oh noes! It's the Avengers!"
"Hail Hydra!"

What, no! The Avengers are right there! First see if you live and THEN hail Hydra. Priorities, guys.
