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.

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.
