Ares and Graces*

[stubbleupdate]

Following his appearance in Girl comics #1, I want to do an Ares Minipost. He's the best "new" character to come out of Marvel since Civil War and I've really enjoyed the push that he's received under Bendis and Gillen.

There is a line before me that demarcates where you stop being treated as citizens and start being treated as soldiers. It is a line that only I can see and I swear unto all of you -- once you cross it you have declare war. Against your city, against your government...and against me. And make no mistake: I love to fight wars.


We start with the Mighty Chovengers, which is probably the best Avengers story that Bendis has written in a long time.


Ares flying on the Iron Man armour just makes me think of this song. He's so peaceful.





Then to Dark Avengers: Ares where Norman Osborn asks himself "I've got a God of War on my staff. I wonder what sort of soldiers he could train?"




And, from Girl Comics #1



Considering that I wanted to write Dark Avengers as a screwy 60s sitcom, I'm delighted to see this.


And this isn't even touching his appearances in Incredible Herc (Blows from an unseen assailant have felled Wonder Man!) and ("I AM SORRY WONDER MAN I CANNOT HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF RETURNING FIRE!"). I'm giggling just reading that

*I know that it doesn't rhyme

Reminds me of Buffy - when Buffy gets telepathy, the only person who says exactly what she thinks is Cordelia.
