Three panels from Avengers Academy #20



Slashy panels asides, I liked this issue. I haven't always been as fond of AA as other people seem to be - I find the writing of the dialogues to be often too much on the nose though the stories and the characters have potential - but the Fear, Itself issues were excellent and this one was good too and makes me look forward to the future of the title :)

I know what you mean about the dialogue being too on the nose. Like that Valkyrie scene where she was teaching the girls about sex toys. That gag got a chuckle out of me, but it just seemed a bit much.

Yeah, it annoyed me on the drama scenes than the comedy ones, but generally it suffers from a painful case of not!subtle.

[long_silence]

Yeah a lot of the angst and all of the crap that the students go through is just so heavy handed.

Hopefully Gage dials it back on Legacy.

fingers crossed! he's got big boots to fill!

So does this mean Robbie and Vance are leaving the Academy to go off an have heroic adventures of their own?

I could get behind that. Though I think the trouble with "Going where there are no heroes" means that "Usually there won't be any villains either".

But as a general not-necessarily-forever roadtrip concept I like it!

I'd love to see Vance and Robbie's road trip. I'd love to have a comic series following this.

So it seems!

Booster and Beetle for the MU?

[capt_satellite]

All innuendo aside, though....another reality show? Oh, whatever will Miriam Sharpe say?

I believe you missed the "without the camera" part.

Maybe they'll write a book.

Better yet, they can blog about it.

Now that would be a miniseries: Speedball and Justice answering calls for help on their facebook and twitter each week.

And then they go and troll Sally Floyd's page.

I'd buy it! :)

I bet their sex is very kinetic.

Not really. I am Ms. Not!Subtle, and that's pretty much how I talk.
