Avengers Disassembled Part 1

[informationgeek]

Avengers: Disassembled is controversial, even years after it was originally published. Truth be told, it probably will remain divisive for years to come. Still, I think it represents a turning point for the franchise, and it’s a bold ambitious and daring piece of work. Any comic that celebrates its five hundredth issue by mercilessly deconstructing its central team deserves a large amount of respect. Bendis’ work on Avengers might have its share of detractors, and I’m hard-pressed to argue it’s his best work, but I still think it’s a very challenging and breathtaking attempt to help rework a franchise that struggled to find its footing.” - Darren

Like with Civil War, we'll just be looking at random scenes from each issue.



And so it all begins with Avengers #500.





BBBBOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM! Both ded.








Then Vision shows up at the Mansion and blows s**t up with a quinjet.




He then pukes out Ultron metal balls and Ultron things attack!












And She-Hulk smashes Steve with a truck. We then wrap with this...




Brian Michael Bendis doesn't like She-Hulk, does he?

Same thing with Brad Meltzer. Guy's got some serious cred as a writer, but Identity Crisis is just a shitstorm from stem to stern.

I still have to imagine that elements of Identity Crisis were editorially mandated (hence the infamous 'we need a rape' quote), but.. Yeah. Definite equivalent right there, because elements of Meltzer's later Justice League run were fine. Nothing amazing, but fine.

Ohhhhhh yeah. IDENTITY CRISIS. There is no curse in Entish, Elvish, or the tongues of Men for -that- treachery.
