Mighty Avengers returns in Infinity.

[JewishHobbit]

That's the new Power Man.

 

[Shazam]

Damn five black superheroes in one book!

Its cool that they aren't altogether just because they are black too

Lets hope they don't kill them all

Have any black heroes ever worked as twosomes without being an Avengers story?

Falcon and The Black Panther

Luke Cage and Monica Rambeau


etc

 

[Colossal Spoons]

How so?

Not a bad thing, I loved The Crew. Just a menagerie of black characters is all.

I'm probably the only person who doesn't want to know who "Ronin" is,...
Is there a "MEH" Smilie?

Ugh, I will be so glad when I never see Land 'draw' anything ever again.

I know that, I'm referring to the ones before. Sorry, didn't make that clear.

 

[JewishHobbit]

Man... I hate to say it because I can't stand his art... but I almost prefer Land to that guy. I don't know. It just kinda looks goofy. Maybe I just have to get used to it.

Very cool cosplay.

I've been keeping up with the series. So far I'm still enjoying it. It hasn't knocked me over necessarily, but the team is still in the building process. I also have no problem with the artwork. Glad they changed the Spider-Hero costume to Ronin.

Mighty Avengers #3: Blue Marvel To The Rescue

You knew there was a black Superman named Blue Marvel, didn’t you? Well, now he’s a Mighty Avenger and he’s awesome.

If anyone is thinking that the main Avengers titles have gotten too highfalutin and stodgy under Jonathan Hickman, you should check out Al Ewing's Mighty Avengers, because that's where you're going to find some slam-bang fun-time team-up action. It's worth noting that the only white guy on the team is the Superior Spider-Man (and he'd probably argue the assertion that he's actually on the team), but it's not even a big deal. The book's just cool.



Okay, so we've also got no idea who the Splendiferous Spider Hero is, either, but he's good with nunchuks and he knows a lot about magic (Blade, maybe?). Plus, he's dressed up in a garish Spider-Man knock-off costume that constantly irritates the real Spider-Man (who is technically not the real Spider-Man but Dr. Octopus in his body, but that's for another book). What's not to like?



Anyway, last issue – holy crap, Shuma-Gorath attack! Black Order member Ebony Maw has sunk himself deep into Dr. Strange's mind, and unleashing some bad magic hoodoo on the Big Apple. Mighty Avengers #3 opens with the new teen Power Man Victor Alvarez re-recruiting White Tiger back into the fight, after ol' Supey Spidey demoralized her entirely, and he does it with some solid truth that actually puts a twinkle in the Tiger's eye. Cut back to Times Square and GIANT EYEBALL TENTACLE MONSTER WHO DESCRIBES BABY SOULS AS 'SUCCULENT' is going down, while Maw's pal Proxima Midnight has worked some freaky zap-face on Spectrum (Monica Rambeau) that's got her on death's door. Thankfully, Dr. Adam Brashear, aka the Blue Marvel – a Superman-caliber powerhouse who retired because he's also a scientific genius and he doesn't care about being a superstar – shows up to rip a hole through that big eyeball. Oh, and Spider Hero apparently knows the guy… and Spider-Man is a fan of his body of scientific work.



Adam also saves Spectrum's life, allowing her to make a Janet Jackson joke out of nowhere that's silly enough to amuse, just in time for Power Man and White Tiger to show up, letting the team come together to figure out how to fight a dark I WILL DEVOUR THE HUSKS OF YOUR DEAD DREAMS god on its own turf, and decide to actually call themselves the Mighty Avengers. Seems they got a hashtag and everything.



Good times, Mr. Ewing, good times. Fun dialogue, solid action, high adventure, plenty of smack talk, and even Kat Farrell making a cameo. As much smack as I've talked about Greg Land, he is a capable artist when he wants to be, and there are some really good panels here – the tentacle-mouthed freakshow is very solidly grody. If he could just learn to draw an honest smile that doesn't make the smiler look like a smug *****e no matter the situation, maybe I could stop complaining so much. Seriously, nothing about Dr. Brashear indicates that when he's working on saving Monica's life, he should smile like a frat boy getting a hummer.



Overall, though, Mighty Avengers is jam packed with entertaining superhero action. Read it, support it, and make sure that nobody can make the dumb argument that non-white characters can't sell a book.

Take a look at John Stewart. He was only put onto the Justice League cartoon simply because the Justice League needed a Green Lantern and that he was black. He wasn't put on the team because he was an interesting character or anything. The end result was that we had a Green Lantern on the show that was bland and boring in comparison to the more fully fleshed out Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and Superman. It took Dwayne McDuffie who came on board on the second season to take the challenge and actually develop John Stewart as a character (and Hawkgirl as well). It wasn't until McDuffie started writing Stewart's character on the show in the second season did he actually become an interesting character on the show.

And John Stewart still has a problem in the comics. No one really wants to write him. Not even Dwayne McDuffie when he was writing Justice League of America (he wanted to write Hal Jordan). He's only put on team books because DC editors either demand racial diversity or because the main Green Lantern is unavailable to use. It's gotten slightly better recently, but for the most part throughout John Stewart's history, his character defining trait was that he was the black Green Lantern and nothing else.

John stewart is the main star in green lantern corps and more of back ground story just came out recently,so this info is outdated and incorrect anyway.
By way i never found john boring on the show, even from the beginning.



Excerpts from the Justice League Panel at the 2001 San Diego Comic Con:

Bruce Timm: He’s the most controversial character so far from what we’ve been gathering on the Internet. When the show’s lineup was first announced, there were a lot of people saying, “Why aren’t they using Hal Jordan? No, it’s got to be Guy Gardner. No, it’s got to be Kyle Rayner.” Obviously, we picked the wrong one, but the reason we did choose John Stewart are various—I think they’re all valid. Right off the bat, I’ll just say it: you know we did need ethnic diversity in the Justice League. We felt that the show is going to be seen worldwide and I think having a member of the Justice League who is not just “Mr. White Bread” is a good thing. Lanterns we could have chosen, we all kind of liked the John Stewart character from the comics, especially the Denny O’Neil / Neal Adams version. When they first introduced him he was like the angry young black guy…you know, in 1969 and 1970. Even though that’s not really relevant today—like the whole Black Power movement and everything—we still wanted to keep that kind of edge and attitude with him.Another reason why we chose him: literally, out of all the Green

Dwayne McDuffie on Green Lantern: “We’ve explained [John Stewart’s
background] in bits and pieces: John was a Green Lantern long before
Kyle, but not in this sector (he was with the Honor Guard). When Abin
Sur got into trouble, his ring found another worthy Earthman, Kyle Rayner. When Kyle was reassigned for training, John came back to cover Earth’s sector, as it was an opportunity to serve near his home planet
"John’s been a Green Lantern for as long as fifteen years, near as I
can figure out. His eyes are green because he’s absorbed so much ring
energy. […] Green Lantern’s identity is publicly-known. He never had
a secret identity. He doesn’t think of himself as a superhero; more
of a beat cop (courtesy of DwayneMcDuffie.com).”

Bruce Timm on Green Lantern #1 (circa 2002): “I really love the John
Stewart Green Lantern. People wonder why we didn’t go with Kyle
Rayner or Guy Gardner, but when they see what we’ve done with him, I
honestly think they’ll agree he’s the most interesting Green Lantern they’ve ever seen…I had Samuel L. Jackson in mind for this Green Lantern…[Phil LaMarr used] this gruff military voice and it was dead-on (courtesy of Starlog Magazine).”

Bruce Timm on Green Lantern #2 (circa 2003): “The interesting thing about Green Lantern is [that], in the DC comics, there have been a number of Green Lanterns over the years, so we had a lot of them to choose from, [but] for variety’s sake and for diversity, we really wanted to use the John Stewart Green Lantern character.
