The Vision's Returns

[Shazam]

Anyone reading the Osborn storyline in the Avengers books?

Since the Vision has returned, does he seem just a bit off his game??

Granted, I don't know yet, the extent of Osborn's new abilities. But the Vision has a computer for a brain, super density, super strength, can go diamond hard, go intangible...phase his hand into his enemy's chest and partially solidify. He can also shoot heat lasers out of his eyes or that gem on his forehead.

So how is he getting body slammed TWICE by Osborn with out a MAJOR throwdown taking place????

Because Bendis is writing it and he's clearly "phoning it in" as far as his final days on the Avengers.

So, again, it's Bendis.....

Geeez....so when is his time up??

 

[runawayboulder]

I think he has one more major arc after AvX. I'm assuming it's the Ultron War story that he and Marvel have talked about for years.

Vision is some kind of sleeper for Ultron. Watch.

 

[runawayboulder]

I could totally buy it because Bendis is a total dick like that.

 

[Kurosawa]

Supposedly he hates Vision and killed him in the first place, right?

 

[runawayboulder]

He said that during a Wizard interview for Secret Invasion. He claimed he was joking but we all know he's full of s**t. He's a jerk-off just like Fraction.

Also, Bendis is trying to show just how Bad Ass Norman is. So we're all gonna be shocked when Osborn has a Spider Sense and Adamantium claws. AND HE|CAN"T BE STOPPED!!!1!!! Oh No!! and someone will say "Woof."

They haven't made any announcements as far as who's taking over, have they?

 

[THANOSRULES]

what about the new SA issue with all the visions on the cover..or is that those new adaptoids

They haven't made any announcements as far as who's taking over, have they?

Not yet.

 

[runawayboulder]

I wouldn't expect an announcement until at least after AvX.

 

[Shazam]

I wish John Byrne would come back.....

 

[runawayboulder]

He's way past his prime. Hell, he was past his prime during Spider-Man Chapter One.

He always had a knack for this group, though.

I'd want his pencils inked however....

When I look at Byrne I remember him more for Uncanny and FF before his Avengers stuff. He mainly drew the main Avengers title and wrote a few single issues. His work on WCA was probably the best the title had seen and it was more or less a 2 year long Vision and Scarlet Witch story. I'd rather not see him as the driving force behind the primary Avengers title at this stage of his career.

I think he would be better suited for the Assembled book. It has no real reason to exist after Bendis leaves or the movie is out of theaters. But Marvel, instead of seeing dead weight to the line, sees dollar signs. I would say since that's the case, try and make the best of it. Put a guy like Byrne on it to tell simplistic superhero stories that don't try and change the scope of things. And when his time is done, rotate in "classic" Avengers writers like Busiek or Roger Stern that still have a story or two left in the tank. Hell, who wouldn't want to read another Avengers story by Jim Shooter? Despite being a polarizing figure at Marvel, the guy was one heck of a writer. It's been eons now since he was EiC, commission him to scribe a 2 or 3 issue arc, I think it would sell well.

Good points

Not to turn into Bendis' stalwart defender JewHobs or anything, but isn't part of the point of Osborn's return that he's somehow getting new powers? I read the New Avengers issue with Ragnarok, which is part of this arc, and someone clearly notes that Osborn is suddenly flying at one point. They're like, "Osborn flies now?" So maybe his new powers just include super-strength comparable to the Vision's.

 

[runawayboulder]

It's been rumored that he has Super Adaptoid powers now.
