Yes. I can see it now. Jared, the son of Jarvis' illigitimate child. He's a loose cannon Butler, who doesn't play by the rules.


"Cheif, if you want these crumpets served, then don't bull**** me about regulation! I'm not gonna waste time playing by the book when people's dinner parties are at stake!"

I hope that happens.

 

[deemar325]

It's a little cheesy, but then all of the YA have rather cheesy names. It's kind of retro. And retro is instantly cool.

That's the genius of naming him Speedster.

LOL!! and he should be of mixed race, Jarvis had jungle fever!

 

[GOODT!MES]

You know, Speedster really grows on you. An old school, muted color costume would be awesome, like their take on Vision.

 

[deemar325]

^ Yeah it does seem kinda cool.

 

[Darthphere]

I think Tony should let them have the old mansion as a meeting place. That way they can keep an eye on them.

 

[deemar325]

^ It would seem like an likely option. Although it may be a bad idea since it's like a beacon to every supervillian creeping in the shadows.

Not really, just Scarlet Witch.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The mansion's also in ruins. I don't know about you, but if I were a Young Avenger, I'd be pissed if Iron Man donated a ratty, burnt-out ruin as my headquarters.

Don’t miss this Civil War tie-in that promises to have lasting repercussions for both popular teams!
32 PGS./Rated T+ ...$2.99

I can't wait. Love that cover by Cheung. Is it just me or does Nico look a lot like Kate Bishop there?

 

[Anubis]

Like most artists, his faces look the same.

 

[The Question]

Looks cool. But without Vaughn or Heinburg, I'm not quite sure about it.

 

[Dread]

Looks cool. But without Vaughn or Heinburg, I'm not quite sure about it.

Marvel claims that both Heinberg and Vaughan have "consulted" Wells about the book, which could have meant anything from an intense, 3 hour meeting with checklists and factsheets, along with a brainstorming session, to a few words scribbled on a napkin from STARBUCKS.

And yes, Cheung is a "same face" artist, but his work is always vibrant and entertaining, and that cover is no exception.

Of course, I'll be buying this.

 

[Darthphere]

Yeah, seriosuly how bad can Zeb Well mess this up.....


I like how its Brian K. Vaughan's Runawyas and Allan Heinberg's Young Avengers.

 

[Darthphere]

The mansion's also in ruins. I don't know about you, but if I were a Young Avenger, I'd be pissed if Iron Man donated a ratty, burnt-out ruin as my headquarters.

Well it shall be rebuilt.

 

[Anubis]

The Lower levels are still inhabitable. But there should be a lot of tech that Stark shouldn't want kids playing around with. To tell you the truth I don't know why the Nu Avengers don't use it. You'd think they would have learned by now after the whole Siege thing that advertising your home bases where abouts is a bad idea.

 

[The Question]

I kind of like that the Avengers advertise where they hang out. It's sort of them saying "You wanna tru something? Alright. Do it. We dare you."

 

[Anubis]

And they do and lots of s**t gets destroyed. Thats why I always liked the Authoritys Shift ship thing. Doors to everywhere in an instant. Of course that doesn't automatically exclude them from getting invaded, because they have, but it's less likely to happen.

 

[The Question]

Yeah. But, who are you going to be more afraid of? The guys who hide on the moon, or the guys who have the stones to have their HQ in the dead center of New York?

 

[Dread]

Not for nothing, during the lead-up to DISASSEMBLED, I remember interviews with Bendis where he claimed that one of his points for the story was showing the consequences of having so visible a base. Hence the explosions, the media brakedown, etc.

And look what we have about a year later. Same thing, different tower. On the one hand, Bendis wants to claim his New Avengers is about a reaction to the "failings" of the past. But on the other, inside the title itself the characters consistantly do the same things they always did (visible base, allowing questionable members, allowing borderline insane members, etc) which makes one wonder why they even bothered. Sure, it jazzed up the line, but if they wanted to change the roster and include, somehow, Spider-Man and Wolverine, there were less brutal ways to do it.

Of course, DISASSEMBLED was a commercial success and allowed the Avengers franchise to all but surpass both Spidey and X-Men right now. So I guess sometimes you can't fight cold results.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah. But, who are you going to be more afraid of? The guys who hide on the moon, or the guys who have the stones to have their HQ in the dead center of New York?

The Wildstorm people are much more afraid of the Authority than Marvel people are of the Avengers. It's actually a major theme in Captain Atom: Armageddon right now. Atom keeps seeing how terrified everyone--villains, civilians, even other heroes--are of the Wildstorm superheroes and he abhors it.

 

[The Question]

Well, that's because the Authority are homicidal fascists who are severely ****ed in the head.
