Avengers #18

Greetings 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.

	It's mixed, the art. It has good moments, and some confusing ones, too. What makes it all the more irritating is the inconsistency, even in the same panel. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	I enjoy all of it but Rulk. He looks like a mutated troll, not a hulk. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I like it for the most part, but Rulk on the last page really looks wrong. Plus, Ms. Marvel keeps losing her nose. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	The Avengers with Herc, Misty Knight, Blade, Black Panther, Rogue, Cloak+Dags, Loki, Storm, and Ghost Rider are pretty much my dream team. Oh hey, it's also ethnically and gender-diverse! Too bad none of them are actually going to end up on the team (maybe Storm). (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

	no subject auggie18 2011-10-21 02:37 am UTC (link)
	Hm. She-Hulk, Cloak and Dagger, Captain America, Storm, Son of Satan, Scarlet Witch, Monica-Captain Marvel, and Jocasta for me. They aren't all my favorites, but it's a diverse powerset and I'd like to see how they'd get along. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Ugh. I just cannot see Wong being that crude, particularly to someone who, like he, has devoted his life to the service of others. (And I say this as someone who laughed over his threat to burn the kitchen down if any of the New Avengers messed with it - that was actually funny.)

	Yeah, it strikes a sour note with me too, though I've seen two chefs almost starting a knife fight when introduced. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	I really like the art, even if it has some weird details--it's really expressive and just the right amount of cartoonish, at least for my taste. 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.

	As they were forcibly injected with the drugs after being kidnapped, and it was made clear that several dozen other people died painful deaths from the same injections, I'm not sure I see much of a problem with it. They were not junkies, or even casual drug users, but victims of very sick minds. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Disagree. Red Hulk is a prime example where the art fails apart. Some of it is good but it's very uneven. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	Clint and Bobbi tried to be together again once she came back, but I think it didn't work out because Clint couldn't deal with the stuff Bobbi was willing to do. At least, that's what I recall, could be wrong.. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Again. I am confused. I can understand why Clint and Bobbi aren't married now but, weren't they working on it and back together? Not to mention in New Avengers he was so desperate to save her life, yet in Avengers is making googley eyes at Spider-Woman. Someone help me out here.

	When did we have the last one? Last year? And in 2008? And in 2007? And in 2006? And in 2005? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Aunt May wouldn't stand for such language, much less in HER kitchen! Cap, please. You died from a point blank gunshot, most character loose the ability to walk for 20 years, let alone having a real wound that handicaps them like "normal" people.

	Is that Hawkeye's new rig? Nice. Seeing those enormous flap boots in FI scans was really annoying. Also, wow Bendis, way to just shoe horn 9/11 back into something. That was really poignant and necessary. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 4 comments) (Show 4 comments)

	The art's good, but that sequence with Hawk, Beast and Mockingbird makes no sense to me. I have no idea what is supposed to be going on there. Also, not a fan of dick-Wong. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 2 comments) (Show 2 comments)

	Beast is just walking past so is no more a part of the narratiev than Danny. I think the progression is (from Clint's POV) Oh hai Jessica - Someone's watching me.. crap it's Bobbi - Well, THIS is awkward.

	Isn't this something like their 33 team shake up in five years? A little stability and less event drivens tuff might make me more interested in the title. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)
