I just wanna get everyones thoughts on the New Avengers in terms of Good or Bad, and also just some info on the series.

Unlike X-Men, Spider-Man, etc, I don't really know much about the previous Avenger titles, or the current one.
 
new avengers is not for everyone, but i like it
 
If you like a book where "guests" make more appearances and are far more important to the book than actual Avengers, you'll love it.
 
only problems i have revolves around the mentioning of xorn, the easily defeated collective, and lack of Ronin appearance. i feel as if the group didnt even act as a group on one occasion, AND THEY ARE BEING SPLIT UP AFTER THE CIVIL WAR!!! i wish we had more of echo during their breif, yet long, stint.
 
Read it, it's a treat. Bendis' characterization is perfect. There is not an ounce of sensationalism here, no siree, this is all substance, baby!
 
I hope this next team is definitive, because I really liked Cage, Wolverine, Cap, IM, Spiderwoman, Spider-Man, Sentry, and Echo(?). Does anyone have a clue on the next team? And is IM just totally out of the picture?
 
IMO, it's ok, it's good, but it's far from great. Really it's overrated, and does not deserve to be selling as well as it does.

you want a QUALITY Avengers book? one that will start you at a point where you don't need any previous knowledge and can just jump right into good stories? Pick up either Avengers Assemble vol 1, or Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Bad. It's completely overrated, drags out storylines and adds in unnecessary plots by the bucketload (wtf was the point of the Ronin arc?), has a lot of anticlimactic endings, and the first couple of issues are crammed full of mischaracterizations and continuity mistakes up the wazoo.
 
Sucks. The heroes are weak, the villains are weaker and kick their asses, Spidey is a tool AND fool, an' th' only reason they win any fights is 'cause ANOTHER non-Avenger comes in and kicks ass FOR them.

Read Busiek's Avengers. This is just Bendis bull****.
 
It could be tons better. It has neat characters, albeit misplaced for an Avengers team. But it just...it doesn't execute nearly as well as it should.

Pros: Iron Man, the Sentry, and Ms. Marvel/Warbird/Binary/Whatever she's calling herself now.

Cons: Wolverine, dragged out unnecessary story lines, appearances made by someone who doesn't want to be an Avenger but makes MORE appearances than two of the already casted Avengers, (don't even know what happened to Ronin), no Void attack yet (the one we got was totally weak. I wanted to see Void corrupting souls and stuff), Wolverine, the fact that Tony said Wolverine was a justified killer simply because once upon a time, he was a samurai warrior or some bull crap Wolverine never actually seems to bide by, Luke Cage is basically the insert pro black showing how the man brings black people down type, which seems overplayed anymore (I wish he'd just get over it and focus more on his family or something, though that sit in was pure awesome), Spider Woman (God I hate her overrated ass), and the whole general feeling that if the Young Avengers decided to stomp in their headquarters, the New Avengers would be destroyed. Oh yeah, and Wolverine.
 
How is Sentry a pro? All he does is fly around in the background and get called Bob a lot.
 
Shut up, you have no taste. New Avengers is God's gift to literate people.

He's got potential for good story making. Unlike Emon. (Emo+Ion)
 
He has potential to be a lame, useless Superman rip-off who doesn't do anything beyond fly around and get called Bob. That's what he has potential for.

That's exactly what makes him emo. He thinks he's the problem.

I blame Bendis. :mad:
 
I blame whoever created him. And Sentry. I blame him, too.

Yeah, been there, done that, and he went back to emo. It'll return. Like Hal Jordan, his emo will rise again!!
