A pie-eating contest. Avengers style!

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

This is a delightful one-page story from I Am An Avenger #2.

The Avengers always go all-out, especially at BBQs. Enjoy this reserve member's moment of glory!



8-Mile style.



Go D-Man!

Can't stop looking at Luke Cage in a pimp hat.

[proteus_lives]

Heroes in pimp hats? Luke is bush-league compared to Doc Magnus-Science-Pimp.

This is a cute art style, and maybe it's a British thing, but the very thought of competitive eating contests never fails to turn my stomach.

It's not helped by remembering that D-Man lives amongst the homeless, and getting food for them was something he took seriously.

[proteus_lives]

Not all Brits are against it. ;)

He is going to feed them later like a mama bird.

Your gif combined with this post is killing me ded!



:D Lookit that girl boogie.

...Okay, now that I'm over the giggles from the page itself, I can point out some adorableness in the first big panel details:

- Jessie and Baby :D
- Ant-Man giving a plate to an anthill
- Hawkeye spitting a watermelon seed into the back of Iron Man's head
- Iron Chef apron
- Thor playing croquet with Mjolnir
- Everything about Jarvis' outfit

[alashandra]

The thing I love about Ant-Man and the anthill? He has his finger up to his mouth, going shh. Like the ants are going to tell on him!

[joasakura]

there is nothing I don't adore about this page. <3

[crinos]

Okay, I am now officially a huge fan of Valkyrie.

[darkknightjrk]

I love how she gets one of the pies by CUTTING IT WITH HER SWORD. That's a gal who takes her competitive eating SERIOUSLY.

[tatwdown.blogspot.com]

This is all fantastic - except for Noh-Varr's costume. God, I hate that costume.

[crinos]

Other cute stuff:

Danielle watching Wasp flying around.

Hawkeye pinging Iron Man.

Iron Man's apron.

Ant Man giving burger to ants.

Thor playing croquette with Mjloner.

[strangerdan]

Also, it is kind of heartwarming realizing that neither Stingray nor Demolition Man was used as an off-hand c-lister death in some event.

[pyrotwilight]

Oh Valkyrie. A battle is a battle.

"From the looks of it she can put it away!"

Why Steve, if she were any less kind them's would've been fighting words.

[crinos]

Eh, Steve is an old fashioned guy; He knows that real women have curves.

[psychopathicus_rex]

I love Spidey as the flavor commentator. 'I can't watch!' 'No! Don't savor it!' 'Oh, the humanity!'
Also, I know that this is, y'know, a HUMOR page, so one shouldn't take it too seriously, but what are members of the FF and the X-Men doing at an Avengers picnic? I mean, the Thing isn't an Avenger - he shouldn't even be competing.

[pyrotwilight]

Wellll...it's likely just a picnic thrown at the Avengers Mansion by the Avengers, doesn't have to mean it's only for them. It's like how people invite their neighbors to barbecues. :D

[sailorlibra]

Forget the rest of this: all I needed was Luke Cage in that hat to have my day made.

[blackruzsa]

Goodness, it frightened me for a second when I didn't see the D on the outfit and thought it was...
well the other guy who wore a Wolverine-esque costume in that color scheme whose name starts with the letter D.

[thatnickguy]

Man, when I saw it was a pie-eating contest AND Avengers, I thought it'd be that scan from the Geoff Johns' written Avengers, with Jan and Hank.

[protogarrett]

I don't think I've ever even seen D-Man in a comic before. I assume that, even though he was an Avenger (really?), he's not even D-List. More like, Z-List, yes?

[cainofdreaming]

Hey, D-Man is the greatest Avenger in NYC.

Below street level. Well, okay. Below subway level.

[leikomgwtfbbq]

I would read a whole series about Luke Cage and his Sweet Officiating Hat. They could run around coaching Little League games and shit.

Now this made my day!!!!:) Thanks for posting this!
