The New New Avengers

[fifthfiend]

Wait, Doctor Strange f***ing stole the Eye of Agamotto? What kind of two-bit punk does Bendis take Strange for?

Lol, it seems like a while since Bendis has written something really, properly, Bendis-grade stupid like this.

 

[MightyAvenge]

where the hell did hawkeye go after issue one?

 

[Sebastos]

Iron Fist looks cool in white.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, I dunno what the f**k was up with the last issue. For someone who clearly doesn't know a whole lot about the character beyond your average wikipedia entries, Bendis seems to have grown attached to f**king around with Strange.

Magic in general, really. Every time he touches the stuff, it's ******ed. Slott had to go back in and fix his "no chaos magic" nonsense a few years later with Chthon. Hopefully someone'll come along and give us a proper Dr. Strange again at some point. I'm just curious what other damage Bendis will do to the magic side of Marvel with this arc.

 

[MightyAvenge]

Iron Fist in white reminds me of the Green Ranger going White

 

[MightyAvenge]

so nobody else is confused as to where the hell Hawkeye went.

 

[Anubis]

He went to the store to get some milk.

 

[MightyAvenge]

If Hawheye hadnt had any lines at all, I would be fine with him just disappearing, cause I dont think he's a "New" Avenger, but simply because he had some lines it annoys the hell out of me that he simply disappeared. I can understand Ironman and Cap being in the wrong costumes for the Young Avengers Childrens Crusade, since they started that way long ago, and atleast they explain that to us. With Hawkeye he simply isnt there.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

What happened to him? Was he in NA and then dropped off the map? He's working with the adjectiveless Avengers and Mockingbird's WCA, so he ostensibly has a pretty full plate.

 

[MightyAvenge]

Yea no kidding, but because of those reasons, does that explains why Hawkeye has seemingly taken off from a huge battle, which is not what Avengers do. I understand that he is on "Avengers" but so is Wolverine and Spider-Man.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Eh, welcome to team books with Brian Michael Bendis. I wouldn't have guessed Iron Fist was on the New Avengers for like half of his tenure after Civil War. I'm sure Hawkeye'll turn up again when Bendis remembers he's supposed to be there.

 

[bored]

PLEASE tell me it's an impostor Dr. Strange. I really don't need him being hurt by another Bendis retcon.

ADVANCE PREVIEW: "New Avengers" #5

 

[Varient]

A "superpowered nanny?"


If I buy another issue for any other reason,.. it would be to find out who does daycare for superheroes.

Side question rather than start a new thread.

The last New Avengers collection I read was 4 - The Collective. The whole Civil War thing put me off reading the next collection, and I kind of stopped there.

I'm just wondering: is it worth getting back into? I was going to pick up the rest of the collections for the hell of it, without realizing how long ago I stopped (it's up to volume 12 or 13 now?).

I don't read individual issues and have been way out of the loop for all this Avengers/New Avengers/Newer Avengers/Not As New Avengers stuff.

 

[Havok83]

Rcently read the last issue and was it just me or did anyone else think Danny's latest rendition/color scheme of his costume look very Phoenixish?

 

[Anubis]

So? F**k that Ginger plot device!

 

[Sebastos]

I love the suit, don't think it's permanent though.

It's a tough call. New Avengers from the beginning through the Collective really was good, but after that suddenly it stopped being the Avengers and turned into a franchise. The team split into New Avengers and Mighty Avengers with new additions and those lead toward Secret Invasion. Then after that the team splits into two core teams, New Avengers and Dark Avengers, and there's a side team of Mighty Avengers that isn't as connected as the others. And all that leads toward the Siege.

And during all this, there's also Avengers: The Initiative that loosely ties into all of it, and especially during Secret Invasion.

My opinion, it's good and worth a try, but it's best if you at least read New and Mighty, and then New and Dark. But it's up to you if you want to take all that on.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I found Mighty Avengers to be far superior than New and Dark Avengers.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I actually found Mighty under Bendis to be horrible, but it got a lot better when Slott came in with his own cast of Avengers. The writing was better... unfortunately it was also largely ignored by Bendis in the rest of the Avengers line.

As far as Bendis goes, I kinda think that his Mighty run was the worst of his stuff. The ideas were fine but the female Ultron, the horrible execusion of thought bubbles, and cho's art (which I'm not a fan of) all brought it down for me. His second arc on the book though with Bagely was pretty good.

 

[Havok83]

Cho was the best part of Bendis' Mighty run. Other than that, it was always the weakest of the Avengers titles to me. I found Dark and New to be more entertaining reads and were better suited to Bendis' style of writing

As much as I make fun of Bendis for choosing his pet characters over established vets for the Avengers and thrusting them into pathetically street-level situations, all of that stuff is still better than when he actually tries to make the Avengers live up to their legacy. Mighty Avengers and Avengers are so, so bad.

 

[JewishHobbit]

I agree. Personally, I think he's got a good thing going with the street level Avengers. He'd lose a lot of criticism though if it were a new gathering of heroes and a new team instead of making them the Avengers.
