Mighty Avengers #8

[arbre_rieur]

Hey, this is unrelated to the post but has Comixology been a COMPLETE unholy mess for anyone else since they switched to that new reader? It fails to load the pages so often that I've had to, like, reload the reader three dozen times to make my way through all the pages of a standard 20 page comic. I just want to know if the problem isn't only on my end.

That out of he way, onto the post...

damn Ava... that made me straight...

nope, Loki text hugs for the homosexual save!

[q99]

Hah! :D

[cainofdreaming]

She-Hulk sounds awfully Nextwawy.

Also - STING!

[his_spiffynesss]

And the problem is...?

[cainofdreaming]

Well, the others haven't joined in on it yet.

[thehood]

How is it Netwavy? She-Hulk is just being She-Hulk.

[crinos]

Wow, I am glad I read this after the Invincible thing. Reading this is like Mental mouthwash. Thank you.

[thehood]

What happened in Invincible?

[crinos]

Check the Invincible 110 post right above this one.

Short version: Mark gets raped by the female Viltrumite.

Yeah.

[squirle]

So that evil scientist they were fighting is Doctor Fate? Or perhaps... Doctor Bong?

[scelestus]

That's immediately what I thought when I saw the helmet.

[thehood]

Nay, that's Dr.Positron and he's Blue Marvel's son.

[icon_uk]

I like it when humans cut through deitfic entities bullshit.

[ablackraptor]

I've got to get this series; trade-waiting it is too painful. I only knew Ava from that Ultimate Spider-Man show and I really couldn't stand her there, but this moment here just suddenly made her very, very awesome.

[doctor_spanky]

So I see Al Ewing remains one of the best writers in comics

And any artist other than Greg Land remains the best choice for this book

[funbox]

Would you really prefer Ramos to this? You're a stronger person than me...

[doctor_spanky]

I'm fairy certain this issue wasn't drawn by Land, it has more personality than his recent stuff (if it was then kudos, it's a rare instance where he didn't plagiarize). As for Ramos, his work is really excellent, but he needs to be placed on the right book. He's too energetic for talking heads stuff, he needs to be drawing action sequences

[skemono]

Nope, this one was still Valerio Schiti. Land returns with issue 9.

[doctor_spanky]

I wouldn't say this art is Schiti

(har har nyuk)

[cainofdreaming]

Oy. You know, one of these days you're going to turn around a corner and run into the Punnisher...

[funbox]

I'd agree with that, but I've had the displeasure of only seeing his work on Amazing Spider-Man, which is too ridiculous by far for me.

[shadowpsykie]

i don't mind ramos... so long as it's not Romita Jr (i LOVED his old stuff... not so much his new) or Quietly.....

[silverhammerman]

It's a little strange that the more populist/street level Avengers team right now still has about so many members who would be the heavy hitter on any other team. She-Hulk, Blue Marvel, Photon, White Tiger now, from the looks of it, all high end players. It's not a bad thing, and it's a fun lineup, but it is oddly heavy on the more powerful characters.

That being said, I'm loving all the team members, and I'm looking forward to seeing Ronin come back and unmask in the next few issues.

[thezmage]

Just FYI, Ronin unmasked today. But everyone who doesn't mind spoilers already knows exactly who Ronin is anyways.

[thehood]

How are they a street level team? Their first arc had them fighting Shuma-Gorath and now they will be fighting Deathwalkers.

[silverhammerman]

Reflecting on it, populist is definitely the more accurate of the terms I used. There's the intro page to each issue featuring Luke Cage's notice to the public, the first arc making a big show of civilians rallying around them, and the team generally feeling more connected to humanity that the regular Avengers. At least it seems like that in comparison to the cosmic stuff that the adjectiveless Avengers and New Avengers have been doing.

[batman]

This looks surprisingly awesome. Is the first issue a convenient jumping on point?

[skemono]

Pretty much. I don't think there's a whole lotta required reading for this series. Although this issue covers some stuff that happened in the Blue Marvel mini, I think, so you might want to read that at some point. I haven't read the miniseries myself, and I felt some of the things in this issue came off as rather... flat, because I didn't have any emotional connection to things that hadn't otherwise been brought up.

[razsolo]

To answer the comixology question...I get all my comics through that app nowadays and no problem here....Mighty Avengers and Ms Marvel are my two favourite titles at the moment, Marvel is killing it! :)

[arbre_rieur]

Thanks for the info. I don't and can't use the app, actually. I read my comics through the comixology website itself on my laptop. Or *try to* read, these days.

[big_daddy_d]

White Tiger's power level? IT'S OVER 9,000!!!!!!

[scelestus]

Wait. Blue Marvel discovered the Negative Zone? Did I read that right?

[obsidianwolf]

No he discovered the neutral zone. Where instead of face offs with Romulans matter and anti matter co-exist.

[scelestus]

Ah-ha! Reading for comprehension. I fails at it. :)

[obsidianwolf]

I actually misread it as Negative zone at first too and I was worried we were going to have another Limbo(Magik) and Limbo(Immortus) situation on our hands.

[glprime]

Aww, widdle kitty god is scayyyedd.

[thehood]

I loved this issue! From Ava taming the Tiger to Dr.Positron being a hilarious villain. God, i love this book!

[zaqari_waliz]

This is all very cute and boring.
