Avengers: Children's Crusade #6 preview

[sherkahn]

Anyone still remember this?
Newsarama has the preview of Children's Crusage #6, as another group of superpowered youth muck around trying to rescue the Scarlet Witch.

It does lead to interesting reunions.





The art is still beautiful, but I really can't believe how casual everyone is when at any moment Wanda can bring back Avenger's Dissassembled fallout or have another "No More Mutants" moment.

Eh i look at it as "I laugh, or else i will cry" type thing.

they know more now, so they are more prepared.

Talk about faking an " O ".

[chocochuy]

Hawkeye slept with a Doombot?!?!?!?

Do you mean one of those robots that look like Doom or one android woman made by Doom?

[icon_uk]

I'm not sure I want to know, the mental images are FASCINATING either way! :D

[shadowpsykie]

A doom Bot that looked like Wanda

[kusonaga]

Ha! Love the "Not like this" reference. Yes, Hawkeye, you know how to take care of Kree ships.

"How did you take 'em out last time?"
"You don't want to know, trust me."

Probably repeating a sentiment that's already been expressed many times, but whilst this is lovely, and the dialogue is fun (and rather touching), it has taken SO LONG to be released that it's losing a lot of the impact it might have had.

I recently read Heinberg's collected WW run "Who is Wonder Woman" and all that and actually found it unexpectedly enjoyable. BUT if I had been a Wonder Woman waiting and waiting with all the delays when it originally came out I would probably have given up on the story entirely. That's the feeling I'm getting here - I had already forgotten Children's Crusade was still going on.

[long_silence]

Exactly. It's a great read but It takes so long between issues that people have stopped caring or have forgotten all about it.

I'm worried that by the time this mini finally ends, there just won't be enough readers left to support an ongoing book. There are just so many other teen team books about Avengers in training nowadays.

The Initiative, the Secret Warriors, the Young Allies, Avengers Academy, and that upcoming team in Fear Itself Homefront (Arana, X-23, Powerman III, Thunderstrike II, and Amadeus Cho).

I'm ready!

[jazzypom]

Sorry about the deleted post, gahhh! I am ready. OMG

[lucky_gamble]

I use to love this series but that was...what... like last year?? I don't even remember. For a series that is suppose to bring the Scarlet Witch (my fav. character) back to the MU, they are taking their sweet ass time. I'm not gonna bother with it anymore.

I said it over in the YA comm and I'll say it again here -- Billy, Wanda's husband is not even slightly back. If you died and someone told Teddy "Your boyfriend is alive. Sort of." and pointed at Tommy, he would probably smack them and would be right to do so. Quit that!

...On the upside, Teddy's line about how Billy lost his powers "the last time he did something I told him not to" is hilarious!

It seems like everyone treats Vision #2 as a straight up replacement for #1. Although, I suppose it would be less traumatic than telling Wanda "Oh, and there's a kid running around that looks like the ex-husband you brutally murdered but is actually his posthumous offspring with a teenage supervillain."

[practicalcat]

Yeah, that explanation might need some careful rephrasing. But she had to have known that her family tree would get complicated when she married a synthetic guy...

[crabby_lioness]

In the Williams-Ulton-Pym family that doesn't even warrant an eye-blink.

[starwolf_oakley]

Vision #2 has the memories of Vision #1, right? It was a plot point in CAPTAIN AMERICA: REBIRTH. While unstuck in time, Cap gave a message to Vision #1 that Vision #2 had in his deep memory storage.

Why has no one commented on how cute Cass is with her father? I'm glad he's back, if only for that.

[sherkahn]

There have been no major "beloved comic character returns" mentions in the solicits.

I think most of us are keeping our hearts guarded if and when Lang is removed from this mortal coil again.

[blackruzsa]

Beat me to it! Dammit.
:D WHY IS IT THAT WHEN THEY PRESS KATE AND ELI OR KATE AND TOMMY, KATE HAS A HUNDRED MORE CHEMISTRY POINTS WITH CLINT?

Really, I don't know if I should consider it creepy or if I should be tempted to ship them.

[salinea]

ship it :)

[jjgalahad]

Buh? Where did Beast and Jewel (?) come from? It's been a long time since I read the last issue but I don't remember them being there.

[long_silence]

Well the Avengers did move back into the Mansion after Siege. Maybe they just noticed the Kree army and Ultron robots outside and decided to come check it out.

[sevarem]

I was really enjoying this series for the first four issues, but at this point, it's taking so damn long, it's hard to care anymore. And since I'm reasonably sure it's going to end with the permanent death or de-powering of Wanda, it's really, really hard to care.

[eyz]

The art is great, yeah! :D
And Young Avengers, YAY!!

I'm fearing how this might end up, what with Wanda crazy again or not...
