New Avengers v1 #17: Impact Superhero Work

[stolisomancer]

The new arc on Superman has reminded me of one of the scenes I really liked from early in New Avengers, right before the "Civil War" crossover blew the status quo to hell again.

I'm on record as saying that my biggest disappointment with Quesada's era of Marvel is that he's come up with some genuinely interesting new directions for characters or teams, only to immediately double back or veer off when a big crossover jumps in. The first two dozen issues or so of New Avengers is a good example there, of a potentially cool plot idea that's never been touched upon again.

To Spidey's credit, he's done that without the armored costume. But I still dug the suit for the brief time he had it, it wasn't a terrible change.

I loved what Dan Slott said in his short-lived Thing series, where Ben gives Peter flak for the suit only have three robotic arms, as opposed to the more logical four: "It looks like you can't count."
