Preview from The Avengers 20

[shadowpsykie]

Ummm... when did the Vision (and it looks like adult Vision....) rejoin the Avengers.... also i was wondering... whatever happened to the story line where Victoria Hand was supposedly gonna betray the avengers to... that lady in black who shot Mockingbird? also has there been any fall out from Mockingbird's supersoldier/Infinity formula blood transfusion?

Uh, you forgot to adjust your tags from your last post.

[shadowpsykie]

yeah sorry i fixed it, im rubish today

Vision came back just last issue; Tony has apparently been rebuilding him for awhile.

[shadowpsykie]

.... so there are two? awkward much?

[salinea]

If Vision survives Children's Crusade, there will be.

[bruinsfan]

Their personalities are based on different people, so maybe they'd regard each other more like siblings?

[salinea]

The Victoria Hand story is playing in New Avengers.

[shadowpsykie]

oh.... so what happened there?

[salinea]

They keep on laying very big hints that OMG Victoria is going to betray them. I keep on disbelieving them. Also it's kinda boring.

[shadowpsykie]

sadness, it is potentially the best book (i love all the characters) but they keep dropping the ball. giving Jessica and the like only background or off screen coolness (though i loved the issues with Squirrel Girl, but seriously? you could not have done the same with Jessica?)

also yeah not believing Victoria's face heel turn at all

[kd_the_movie]

When did Noh-Var start going by The Protector (hate the name gotta say)?

[tpsreports]

Oh Marvel, it's like you're not even trying anymore.

[shadowpsykie]

not a fan of Acuna's work... well that's a lie, not a fan of his recent work.

[littlepunkryo]

I don't care for it either, for me his faces are...odd. I feel like even when they have expressions their faces are pretty blank maybe? IDK. And I don't care for the coloring.

Avengers Mansion (or wherever they're living these days) doesn't have a front walk or anything like that? They just run out the front door onto a vague, green area that I assume is supposed to be a lawn.

Come to think of it, are the flying members just moving really slowly so the awkwardly running ones can keep up?

[icon_uk]

Same reason The Flash/Kid Flash, shows up on the scene at the same time as the other memebers of the team, despite the fact they could criss-cross continents a couple of times whilst even their fastest team-mates are still covering the ten feet from breaking the bad guys door down.

[nezchan]

Yeah, it's a bit of a convention of comics. It just seems really weird in this scan for some reason that I can't put my finger on.

[icon_uk]

Oh in this instance I agree completely, I think it's the static-ness of this art (Which I don't actually like much) which means there's no sense of actual movement from the fliers.

[wizardru]

Actually, that's pretty much accurate. Avengers Mansion, like so many locations in the MU, is actually based on real places in NYC. Avenger's Mansion is actually The Frick Collection, a block-sized museum right off of Central Park.

The mansion has a few small garden areas and a wall surrounding it, but the front entrance is basically just a door that leads to a small green area and then to the street with Central Park just beyond. It was originally a private residence, but the family turned it into a museum for their art collection back in the 1930s.



If you want to see it in Google Street View, here you go.

[crabby_lioness]

Thank you!

[citygod]

Is it still the Frick? Wasn't the Avengers (Frick) Mansion destroyed years ago, by Bendis in Disassembled?

[icon_uk]

Oh look, a new Avengers line up... it must be Thursday...

[spacebetween]

It's better then the X-Men's daily rooster change in recent times

[valtyr]

the X-Men's daily rooster change in recent times

Please, no slut shaming. If the X-Men want a new cock every day, it's not our place to judge.

[cainofdreaming]

Remove Vision and Cap and this could be called the Red and Black version of the Avengers.

...Did Deadpool open up a franchise or something?

[eyz]

Adult Vision? Guess the artist/writer forgot all about the current status quo/continuity... (or I missed something...?)

Hawkeye back in that look? Movie tie-in (kinda) anyone?

[crabby_lioness]

Repairing Original!Vision has apparently been Tony's secret hobby for awhile.

What can I say, it's better that he keeps busy tinkering with defective androids than he keeps busy trying his hand at social engineering.

[glprime]

I like movie-tin look more than the big-ass buccaneer boots he and Cap still sport in 2011. And that stupid Wolverine mask thing.

[glprime]

So we're doing the Earth X Madame Hydra now? Okay. (least they're making lampshading jokes about it)
