New Avengers #3 - "The Dark Is Rising"

[laughing_tree]

"My tendency with these books is to pick a niche nobody else is doing; and this time ‘round, that’s the kind of big, expensive, super-shenanigans the regular Avengers just can’t afford right now." -- Al Ewing















The vessel kidnaps Hulkling, so the others give chase:

Teddy is the best.

[dr_archeville]

A Pagan Jewish friend was so happy to see that Marvel's actually addressing how weird it's been for Billy to be calling himself "Wiccan."

[malitia]

Not for the first time either.

[bizarrohulk]

From the first couple of pages, I thought you'd posted a World of Warcraft comic by mistake.

[cygnia]

Just as long as they don't turn Teddy into Green Jesus Thrall...

[cainofdreaming]

Yeah. Apparently WoW isn't just for Earth in Marvel universe.

[astrakhan42]

Heheheh, Avenger 3 is a Thunderbirds joke. I really hope we see a submarine called Avenger 4.

[locuatico]

wait, those that mean he is King of Space too or just the king's consort?

[dustbunny105]

So, is Billy actually going to get a name change, or is the weirdness of his name just going to be pointed out repeatedly?

[baihu]

I vote for Demiurge as a possibility, not totally heroic-sounding, but pretty much the only accurate way to describe Billy with his powerset.

[laughing_tree]

The Visionary, after his dad?

[cainofdreaming]

Going by his track record it's probably going to be "Olympian".

[thehood]

Vision and Billy have rarely interacted, i don't think he sees him as a father at this point.

[laughing_tree]

Well, if he does, I hope Teddy gets inspired to the same. At this point, the character has nothing to do with the Hulk. Heck, do people even think of strength as his main "thing"?

[thehood]

Hulk/Doc Green did give him his blessing though.

"Magus" would work I think, a good name with magicla connotations, but the possibility of evil thrown in, looking at "Evil-Adam-Warlock"-Magus and "Warlock-of-the-New-Mutants-often-evil-Dad"-Magus)

I noticed that with The Ultimates and The New Avengers, Ewing is getting to do two different variations on the same theme at the same time. It looks like the Ultimates might be in space more, while this team can be more on the ground, but then this happens.

[bizarrohulk]

"Avenger 3. A.I.M. deep-space cruiser. "Brashear Warp" technology allows faster-than-light travel to distances of several million light years"

... and will have absolutely no effect on the technology level of the rest of the world.

[icon_uk]

That's been a given for so long I don't even notice it any more.

[shadowpsykie]

i do not love the art....

[apintrix]

Seriously, Billy should not be as big as Teddy.
