Avengers Academy #27

[pyrotwilight]

So this came out this week and as many might know featured the Runaways and the Avengers Academy kids meeting up. Lullz assuredly did ensue. So here's three pages of interest, though the first two are actually going further into Striker since his coming out a few issues ago.


 

See. this was the first page of the issue and I was already trying to contain my laughter. Striker's pace indeed!



I've now begun to like Striker. He's definitely not thinking a lot of this through but can't help but find it hilarious including his mom apparently not caring whether he's gay or not (granted she likely sees it as a media opportunity much like he does). And yeah this is what Striker would do given he loves the media.

Now as many might've seen in the preview of the issue like usual the Runaways and Avengers Academy students fought but here's an amusing page of after the dust settles and the teams interact, slowly.

 

Tigra is indeed fighting dirty. Molly and Klara playing with William. XD

That's only the tip of the iceberg in amusing chatter. I highly suggest getting a copy.

Yeah, Striker's basically evolved from an annoying douchebag to an entertaining douchebag. :D

And I never quite thought about it like that with Tigra, but yeah, having to wear clothes would probably suck with that fur, even with unstable molecules.

Also, maybe I really missed something, but when did Tigra get a kid? And is putting him in a little orb like that at all a good idea?

Tigra's rationale for her costume is... really logical. Has anyone ever made that point before?

[jaysonbyron]

Is that baby a Skrull? I don't think I ever read how that plotline got resolved, or if it did at all.

Greer, I love you but maybe you should be taking less parenting tips from Cyclops and more from Sue Richards....

Okay, now I'm interested in the book. Artist I like+adorable baby/kitten+snark? Awesome!

I haven't read the later issues of Runaways, but I have a hard time believing that Chase could ever think having an attractive woman walking around in bikini is a bad thing.

Concerning Greer's bikini, I think the heat is probably a factor, but I also think it's part of her cat-like side, as most cats do not enjoy wearing clothes. It's easy to imagine that she only wears the little she does in order to keep people from freaking out about her being naked. That said, I do wish the swimsuit was more supportive, since she does fight crime in it and seems to have somewhat large breasts.

I want to like this, but Julie outing Stryker to anyone bothers me a little.

Also, on Glee, there's only one out gay male in the regular cast, so I've got no idea what he's talking about.

.... I would enjoy Tigra's kid.... but I have that nagging feeling some twist is going to happen to him, either to make him age faster or being part of a story arc where he dies... that, and he makes me think of Wolfsbane's lovechild that killed a person within minutes of being born via hairball....

So this was my first foray into Avengers Academy and I really liked it!

Well except for the whole Tigra-and-Giant-man-are-secretly-in-cahoots-to-force-Molly-and-Klara-to-stay-with-them. Urghhh :l

So there were a few little things in this issue that annoyed me, but over all it was very well done. I liked Striker's conference and the "kitty" scene posted above. I also enjoyed Nico and Hazmat snarking at each other and then becoming friendly right after. The only annoyances I had were Molly being written as kind of stupid and the part where Karolina is talking to Julie and is all like, "Yeah, I was engaged, but stuff happened and I'm single now". That kind of made me rage since it seemed like she was being really disrespectful of Xavin, but over on another board Gage said that the next issue would show that Karolina is still hurting, so I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt until the next issue comes out.

But as for my favorite part of all...Yay, Old Lace is back! And she's made friends with Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy! Yay! They better actually bring her back and not do one of those, "Oh, look, she's happy with her new dinosaur friends, so we should just leave her here" things. -_-

Oh, Striker. You are so warped in all the most entertaining ways. I really need to catch up with this book -- I'm not past the first trade yet.

(Though, really, if a press conference is good enough for Jean-Paul...)

[lieut_kettch]

Okay, now I want a comic featuring Molly, Klara, and Squirrel Girl running a superhero babysitting service.

[blackruzsa]

Well, that's actually a great reason why Tigra dresses like that!
Also, this is going over pretty well :)
