Wow. I may have to start picking this up.

I love your icon.

It wasn't the nuke that went off

If you think that's impressive Tony, you should see him AFTER Teddy's done ;).

Goddamn, every update on the preview makes me want this more.

It occurred to me today how odd and out of place the Vision's situation is. He was a headlining Avenger since, what, the 70s? They've killed him, de-aged him, and now kind of quietly shuffled him away until he's needed for a Young Avengers story (save his tenure on Mighty Avengers). Any other Avenger would (and has been) restored to status quo, which makes me wonder when/if they're going to do that to this Vision.

Kinda amused by the note at the start explaining the Cap+Iron Man costume mistakes. Has Marvel ever done something like that before? I wonder if they'd have bothered in the days before they knew there'd be angry fans nitpicking it all over the web otherwise - though it's nice to know they're aware of it and have plans for how to make it fit. Keeping continuity straight in a world like Marvel must be hell even with the best intentions.

[neuhallidae]

They possibly could, but not without a serious brain reboot. This Vision may have the original's memories (and how much of them depends on the writer), but his "core", everything that makes up his personality and emotions, is based on an entirely different person than the original's was.

[stubbleupdate]

Maybe he quite likes being there.

[long_silence]

I'd rather the current Vision just get a new identity while the old one is finally taken out of storage and fixed.

Did Teddy and random white supremacist-homophobe just get as much on-screen action as Teddy and Billy?

[long_silence]

random white supremacist-homophobe just got more on-screen action from Teddy than Billy ever has.

[blackruzsa]

random white supremacist-homophobe will probably be one from the long line of people who Teddy will kiss before Billy.

xP

[espanolbot]

Comics already have the Martian Manhunter, we don't need his robot crosscompany copy as well.

[blackruzsa]

I'd be more excited if I hadn't already looked at this ten times since it was posted on the young avengers comm in LJ ;)

Still, my reaction can be found there.

Also, why are Billy's boxes pinkish?

[flidgetjerome]

I am both really excited about this and also kinda wary.

With Heinberg faffing off just after he introduced Speed, I suspect that the personality Tommy's ended up with wasn't the personality Heinberg planned for him. The thing is, I like Tommy's current personality, he's snarky and a little childish but also determined and surprisingly idealistic and makes me wonder what Magneto would have been like if he hadn't grown up in a death camp.

[blackruzsa]

Technically, changing Vision back to the original would kill off the character of Jonas. Maybe they'd have to remake him, but yeah.

[flidgetjerome]

Me too.

. . . Actually, the fact that no one's fixed the original Vision yet is pretty disturbing. I know Hank Pym came down with a bad case of kidnapped-by-Skrulls but now that he's over it you'd think at the least he'd give it a go.

[valtyr]

OMGGGGG I am so excited for this.

[bluepard]

I'm surprised that Teddy seems to be the one I missed most. Kissing white supremacists who call you a sodomite? Oh, Teddy.

[requiem2adream]

Want.

Seriously this is starting to look so good. Can't wait to buy it.

[wizardru]

SOLD! To the American!

Seriously, Heinberg back on the Young Avengers is awesome. It would be nice if this can translate into an ongoing monthly. YA is both a comic I can share with my family AND one of the best written superhero comics out there.

Excellent characters, good action and it just feels right.

[nezchan]

But he's still got robot daughters to seduce, he's a busy man!

[dimwit90]

Thanks!

[dimwit90]

hahahahaha oh you

[dimwit90]

Every update on this thing makes me scream and flail a little bit more

[dimwit90]

I giggled a little when I read that, it just seems so silly to me. Then again I'm the type of person that has never nor will ever try to understand the continuity in comics.
