Avengers #1 Preview - Wanted, Heroes for Heroic Age

[flidgetjerome]

CBR has a seven page preview up for Avengers #1. A couple of pages were floating around the net already but now there's lettering and some of the dialog is pretty cute.






So Steve's the voice for "Forgive and Forget" and Wonder Man is the one going "We can't pretend we can just go back to how it used to be, these last five years have been really messed-up!"?

What a balanced presentation of both sides!

And it's working. (Stupid Wonder Man, talking back to Captain Rogers. Who does he think he is? Screw him!)

His return is being treated like the Second Coming

Which is my problem, Steve was last seen, by most of the MU, being put on trial for treason, and for fomenting a destructive rebellion against a legally valid decision by the US Government. And people were AGREEING that he needed to be put on trial. He was being vilified by all and sundry.

Sudden about-faces like do not impress me.

i'd point out that the SHRA was not a legal document. even if the marvel u was real? that bill would never ever have gotten passed.

Complete disregard of due process though it might represent, it WAS enacted legally, and WAS in force.

not due process, though that could be tagged on. 13th amendment

Yes, due process. Indefinite detention in 42 without access to lawyers or courts.

but you can't be heard in a court of law based on that. gitmo? yeaaaaah, thats how you get around due process.

1) The Supremes eventually established that you still can't get around it and they've got habeas corpus - although it took years, and it seems a shorter time since CW
2) Mostly US citizens captured on US soil =| mostly foreign nationals caught overseas. Not to mention, the nature of the crimes involved is quite different.
