The Avengers talk about Steve.

[proteus_lives]

Greetings True Believers!

Here are a few scans from Avengers #16. The Avengers visit the confessional booth to talk about Cap.

They embrace a theory I've held myself for quite awhile.

Enjoy!



Cap is mourning Bucky and the others react to it.





I've long believed that Steve is the Avatar of America. One Out of Many.

I don't know that I blame Fraction (for a change); even after sleeping with him, she was still abrasive and aggressive - like the issue where she walked out on Tony's excuses. And I liked her in Siege - when she went out to rescue Thor from about fifteen supervillains.

IDK, it just seems like Bendis is writing her so differently, which is odd, as didn't create her in in New Avengers?

[mrstatham]

Even earlier. Bendis introduced her in Secret War at the same time he removed Fury from power.

[valtyr]

Oh yes, of course. It's weird, she's so different here from how he used to write her.

Reminds me of Jessica Jones.

The thing is, Jess actually had something in the way of character development to get to where she is. There's a fairly straight line to her appearances, but I think the development of her relationship with Cage, having her baby and then having to raise her baby in the tumultuous Marvel Universe, I think that was well done.

Hill has had none of that. Her animosity with Steve is pretty much nonexistent, and by rights, nearly all the current Avengers should hate her, which would actually make things interesting. Instead, she gets lumped alongside Victoria Hand and is playing best mates with the team she once used pretty brutally to gain information on M-day.
