Yeah I remember that Iraqi team..that was a good story. Good moment for Avalanche..one of my favs.
Promotion for the long rumored sequel series to A:TI, "AVENGERS: ACADEMY" by Christos Gage and Mike McKone, has begun at Newsarama!
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/Avengers-Academy-100308.html
My first reason is: YAY! After months of rumors, it is official!
The next question; will any of the instructors of this Academy be revealed in promotions, or just new characters like this new Veil? And what about the original characters of the last volume, such as Melee (who never did much), Komodo, Hardball, and of course Butterball? I'll sure stay tuned!
Man... I love Initiative. I really hope this is as interesting.
The only thing that sucks for a completionist like me is that it seems this title doesn't really create plots of its own, but rather does minor stories enveloped in whatever is going on in New Avengers and related events. I couldn't read just this without being drawn into the other Avenger titles, just because of my completionist mentality. I have to know everything that is going on and own everything that influences everything in the titles I prefer to read.
It's really annoying. I should get some help.
Yeah that does suck dude. Are comics even really fun anymore at that point?
Apparently Gage and McKone are confirmed as the series' team.Don't miss the brand new AVENGERS ACADEMY #1, from the superstar creative team of Christos Gage & Mike McKone, this June!
Yeah, but the X-Men books stayed separate because they were trying to keep the kids kids. The Xavier Institute is a normal school, not just a headquarters for a superhero team. There was supposed to be a separation between the New Mutants and Generation X and the X-Men so the former two could learn all the normal stuff kids learn and go on to lead full lives. They could join the X-Men after if they wanted to, but they weren't necessarily being trained expressly and only for that.
With the Initiative, it's not a normal school, it's a superhero school. It was created specifically to train superhumans in the use of their powers because they were required by the SRA to serve the US in what was effectively a superhuman military. The Avengers Academy will presumably be something similar, only less militaristic and corrupt.
Apples and oranges.
Hey, I know we already saw the promo pic for Veil, but did anyone notice this blurb on Marvel's site with it?
Apparently Gage and McKone are confirmed as the series' team.
Don't know. Possibly. The SRA is still in effect and the academy is still going be geared toward getting superhumans ready to be superheroes, as far as I know. But maybe kids will be able to choose whether they want to go into the academy in the first place now. We'll have to wait and see.So young superheroes are going to be forced to Join the academy?
SIEGE BLOCKBUSTER TIE-IN!! This is it: the series finale and the end of the Initiative as we know it! Learn the fate of your favorite heroes, villains...and those who aren't quite sure what they are, but who are going to have to decide in a hurry! Who will taste sweet victory? Who will know the agony of defeat? For some this is an end -- for others, a new beginning (which youll be reading about very soon)! Camp H.A.M.M.E.R. is falling...and The Heroic Age is dawning!
