scans_dailyGreetings True Believers!
A nice issue.
Cap says something that I think is totally spot-on.
Mockingbird gives a certain twosome the stink-eye.
Wong is a sour-puss.
And it's time for an Avengers sleep-over and draft!
Enjoy!
Rogue and Loki as Avengers? I like that. Both fought them as villains (Hel, Loki is the reason the Avengers exist in the first place).
But Wade? I love him but no, just no.
Cap is right. We should have those fucking tower rebuilt by 2003. Fucking Bushhco.
Since the Tower is gone, all the Avengers pile into Luke's swinging Avengers Mansion.
Man! Wong is crabby nowadays.
And now Clint wishes he had Sue's powers. Heh.
Oh Peter. The art, I'm on the fence about it. I like and dislike it at the same time.

Date: 2011-10-21 02:24 am (UTC)Oh, Cloak & Dagger. I kind of like them, and yet they've just never caught on. But really, more heroes need overdoses of synthetic heroin in their origin stories.

Date: 2011-10-21 03:50 am (UTC)Kinda weird to see Mockingbird care though. Wasn't one of the big deals that was revealed when she came back was she was going to divorce him, the skrull impersonated her to "fix" their marriage and now that she was back still didn't want to re-marry?
Hmmm...so wait. Does this mean no more Mighty, New and Secret Avengers, just one? Because that kinda would make more sense anyway, just have a rotating staff.

Oh hai Jessica - Someone's watching me.. crap it's Bobbi - Well, THIS is awkward.

Date: 2011-10-21 01:49 pm (UTC)One, the 2012 event comes and they end the yearly event thing there because its been hyped, and if its average they may just go out on a middle note.
Two, the 2012 event is awesome and it gives them hope that the crossovers will sell again, so they keep doing it for the foreseeable future.
Three, the keep doing crossovers as long as they sell even marginally better.
My money is on 3.

Always better in stories like this than in his own book...

Date: 2011-10-21 01:06 pm (UTC)Oh right, look who's writing him now. Of course Bendis could do nothing more than write Wong as a stereotypical territorial cranky Chinese chef.
*sigh*
