The New New Avengers

[TheCorpulent1]

A patriotic and very heroic werewolf that other werewolves could stand to learn a thing or two from, yes.

Team Steve

All of this talk about Cap-Wolf forced me to bust out the 40yrs of Cap DVD and skim thru the Man and Wolf saga. Here's 10 reasons why that saga was epic crap:

1. Steve Rogers is injected with a serum that turns him into a wolf.
2. The big villain was called "StarWolf"
3. Doctor Druid
4. The ******ed plot of some lunatic sorcerer using the moongem to turn a Vermont town into his army of Werewolfs.
5. Cable showing up out of nowhere at the end including a Bendis-style exchange between Cable and Shatterstar. I s**t you not, this is how it goes....."Cable." "Shatterstar." "Feral's missing." "How long?" "Last saw her at lights out last night". "We'll find her." And...BOOM, next issue he was there. Clearly Bendis was reading this in his college dorm somewhere and it inspired him like The Catcher In The Rye inspires NORMAL WRITERS.
6. Doctor Druid
7. CapWolf and other wolves creating a wolf cheerleader pyramid to escape their pit prison.
8. Zach Moonhunter
9. Werewolf by Night leaving at the end of the arc hopping on the back of a motorcycle with some random gay biker.
10. Doctor Druid


I'm not even including the horrible Wolverine scenes. And this was a time (1992) when Wolvie was still hugely popular and people weren't sick of him being overexposed like he is now.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know what you're talking about. I only see 10 reasons why "Man and Wolf" was awesome.

Except Doctor Druid. Yeah, he pretty much always sucks.

 

[Scourge2099]

His son is cool though even if Nick Fury kicked him off unfairly in Secret Warriors when s*** got real.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Oh, the fatty was Doctor Druid's son?

 

[Scourge2099]

Yep. He did suck at first until Fury kicked him out. He ended up losing weight and is better with casting spells now.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Sucks that he lost weight. I think there should be more fat heroes. I feel underrepresented.

 

[Scourge2099]

There's Bouncing Boy from LoSH and Volstagg.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Meh, that guy's lame. I feel like there's a lot more fat villains than heroes.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Like Doctor Octopus

 

[Scourge2099]

It sucks that Blob isn't fat anymore. Why'd they have to depower him ? It's all that stupid crazy mutie Wanda's fault !

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Like Doctor Octopus

Isn't he skinny to the point of total emaciation now? Anyway, I was thinking specifically of Doctor Faustus. Especially since Sharon Carter or Bucky or someone tried to escape him by playing the "lulz, fatty!" card.

 

[Scourge2099]

They should make a super team of fat heroes or something. They could complain , and rightfully so , about being under represented. I can't think of a name that wouldn't sound dickish though.

 

[bored]

They could be the Corpulent Brigade!

 

[storyteller]

Serious why is it that I keep thinking Ms Marvel is dead? I know the character sorta "died" in that in her own comic but during that time period she was alive elsewhere so like no one really noticed. Maybe its just the fact that before Dark Reign she was Starks right hand man and now she's pretty out of the loop. Should have made her Spidermans gF.

Anyway, so they are keeping the silver Iron Fist costume I guess?

 

[runawayboulder]

It looks that way. I think this is the first time he's ever had a costume change. And a Ms. Marvel/Spidey romance is the one thing I didn't get this past X-Mas.

 

[Sebastos]

Yeah it looks like Danny's going to be keeping the suit.

"Big Time"



Butterball can be a charter member!

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I already miss Iron Fist's green costume. Not many heroes make the green and yellow color scheme work.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I do too. I liked the white costume when it first debuted in New Avengers but I didn't really want it to go beyond that. His Immortal Iron Fist costume was fine.

New Avengers #8 Preview

 

[bored]

So... I've drifted in and out of interest in this book. When did it change artists? And am I the only one who thinks that Cage looks really old in that page?

 

[runawayboulder]

This is Acuna's first and only issue. The next few are by both Deodato and Howard Chaykin. Immonen's last issue was #7 so he can start "Fear Itself". We should know by the May solicits who's going to be the new full time artist.

I don't think it's going to be permanent, artist Wellinton Alves did an interview about the Power Man and Iron Fist mini coming out next month and he said Danny would have the green and yellow, despite the covers having him with the white suit.
