The New Avengers #18

New Avengers #18 hits the stands today.
Norman Osborn re-assembles his Dark Avengers team.

Just kidding about the Dick Cheney.
But Osborn has brought together some scary people.

Most of the issue is the various factions of Hydra, AIM, the Hand coming together under those still loyal to H.A.M.M.E.R. and their reasoning why. Inbetween, we see Norman going around the world recruiting his heavy hitters.

The line-up:
Wolverine (the Gorgon), Scarlet Witch (Toxie Doxie), Hulk (Skaar), Spider-man (Ai Apaec), Ms. Marvel (Suprema), Hawkeye (Bart Barton).

Not pictured: Thor (Ragnarok cyborg clone).

	Wow. An entire team that'll make enemies go...WHO? Except Skaar. And I only vaguely know Suprema who played a role in Captain America Corps I believe. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 9 comments) (Show 9 comments)

	isn't that supposed to be Superia? I heard Clint had a brother, thought he was dead. And who the hell is Toxie Doxie? (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Wow, haven't heard of about half of these characters. Also, Clint has a brother/cousin/male relative named Bart? Bart Barton? Ouch. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 5 comments) (Show 5 comments)

	Who? Who? Him I know. Who? Who? Who? And him I know unfortunately. And wow Normie, great idea. No way it can possibly go wrong since it worked so well the first time around. (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 8 comments) (Show 8 comments)

	The only one I even heard of was Skarr--the others...I know I'm more familiar with DC, but I've literally never heard of the others at all. And yeah, it feels like at this point Bendis is just recycling his ideas. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 7 comments) (Show 7 comments)

	Oh come on, Norm, you know you'd prefer some scale mail in the same colors instead, and maybe a remote-control shield too. Just shove a former Crimson Dynamo (or Rhodey's mercenary friend) into the Patriot armor and keep on trucking. (Reply to this)

	Wow, Norman really went obscure this time. I had to look up who Ai Apaec, Toxie Doxie and the Gorgon were. (Reply to this)

	Toxie Doxie and Ai Apaec both turned up in the Osborn mini and very very nice there, I am very disappointed at the fact that they ruined Ai Apaec's design by adding the black spider-man suit. He is far more awesome looking in his original giant bleeping spider God form. But yeah, Norman's new team is not very impressive.

	Doesn't need to be. Skaar, Suprema and the Gorgon will give any Avenger's squad a handful. the others are distractions. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Meh, I like seeing Norman back in action, so good for him. And the characters in the Osborn mini would have likely been forgotten if he hadn't brought them back here. I just hope that Norman does his own thing for the forseeable future and doesn't get arrested in a year. (Reply to this)

	Bart Barton. Toxie Doxie. Jesus, this whole team was screwed over by their parents. Are they fueled by childhood rage? (Reply to this) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Wait, why is he even bothering to pretend they're Avengers? I know there are no limits to the average Marvel civvie's lack of common sense, but still. (Reply to this)

	He doesn't know who Osborn is, so presumably Normie's convinced him they're doing the good work. It surely won't help when he sees Red Hulk on the Avengers. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)

	Holy crap on Ai Apaec, though I don't know how Norman got rid of his more spidery bottom (I forgot the term for it, okay?). And.... wow, they're scary, but at the same time, I have no idea who these people are. (Reply to this)
