The Agents of ATLAS Thread

[Dread]

I imagine the Agents back-up strips will either be compiled into a trade of their own, or shoved into the trade of other Agents material. I doubt it'll be included with Herc's trades unless they cross over into his story outright.

Avengers vs. Atlas #2 Preview

The original Avengers are here in our present...and they are NOT happy with what they've found! Now the Agents of Atlas face the wrath of repulsors, stings, hammers and shields. Just as The Uranian is close to understanding what's really happening, he's faced with his greatest threat: himself! Marvel Boy arrives, and behind him, the biggest threat is still on the way.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Huh. I don't think Pym Particles--especially old-school, early Avengers-era Pym Particles--work that way...

 

[NDX]

Who cares. It's a Giant Gorilla Man!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah. I actually don't really mind.

Huh. I don't think Pym Particles--especially old-school, early Avengers-era Pym Particles--work that way...

Actually, it did work that way. He used to spray himself with Pym Particles back then, so one could probably go giant by doing something as simple as licking him.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Wouldn't he be leaving residue that'd make bits of buildings giant-size in his wake if it were that easy to rub off?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Comic book science at it's best. (Worst.)

 

[Anubis]

Wouldn't he be leaving residue that'd make bits of buildings giant-size in his wake if it were that easy to rub off?

Well, I assume that you have to have a mind to make yourself big. But if that's the case then that whole pocket lab wouldn't work, or maybe it works because he's touching it. I don't know. It's comic book science. I still say i'm right and you're wrong.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Well, the issue came out and neither of us were right or wrong. It was an illusion Bob cast into the Avengers' minds.

But I was still slightly more right than you.

 

[Anubis]

Well, I guess you win. You're a bigger nerd than me.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

And don't you forget it.

Also, I stole your avatar 'cause you're not using it.

 

[Anubis]

I noticed.

Awesome. Now, where's my Gorilla-Man mini?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I imagine Parker's saving the best for last, if every character is getting their own mini or one-shot.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm surprised it's called Darkstar and the Winter Guard. Darkstar's not the leader and it's not like she's ever been particularly popular...

 

[NDX]

I really know nothing of the group at all. Just saw the guest stars and figured it should be posted here.

Is that the group with the Russian Iron Man?

 

[Anubis]

I'm surprised it's called Darkstar and the Winter Guard. Darkstar's not the leader and it's not like she's ever been particularly popular...

Well, i'd have to assume that seeing as the Winter Guard lose two or three members everytime they show up, She's in charge now, and is probably more popular than any of the others.

 

[RockSP]

Maybe they gave her top billing because of that whole "super chicks" thing they're doing...
