Avengers Assemble #14AU

[laughing_tree]

I guess my mantra when writing the Avengers is the "there came a day" speech -- "there came a day when Earth's Mightiest Heroes banded together to fight a foe no single hero could withstand." That and their battle cry being "assemble" -- it writes itself. It's a team built around the virtues of community and collective action. The Avengers are the slap in the face to the "there is no society", "I got mine" ethos -- they're not an exclusive club of the biggest and toughest and most popular, they're an organization grouping together to fight the threats to the ordinary citizen that they are best equipped to fight. -- Al Ewing

This looks pretty groovy.

Natasha is quoting Seal!
“But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy.”

In a sky full of Ultrons, only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy

Moon Knight teaming up with Black Widow? I don't hate this!

[scorntx]

Sadly, it's an Age of Ultron tie-in, so it's ultimately pointless.
Pretty much any cool Moon Knight / Black Widow shenanigans are entirely off-screen, and nothing they do has any impact on the plot.
yay?

Random titbit: This issue is a lot easier to find second-hand than Avengers Assemble #15.

Al Ewing, starting at Marvel as he evidently meant to go on.
Deep cuts, intriguing character moments and the occasional burst of terror.
Oh, and tie-is.

There's a scene not shown here where in the sewers Ultron sends in a drone based on his original tin can form to gas people to death.
Someone, either Ewing or Ultron, has one twisted sense of humour...

Poor Stunt-Master, demonstrating why you should never get a Stark prosthetic.
Or a Stark anything, really.
(Why anyone at Marvel trusts Stark with anything more complicated than a spoon I'll never know.)

Stark constantly putting his name on new business ventures when the last one went under seems super shady.

"No, your warranty is with Stark Industries. We're Stark International"

But somehow Peter Parker isn't allowed to ever do business again because he bricked some phones while fighting Nazis.

[scorntx]

Well, Peter's jumped-up noveau riche, while Tony Stark is old money, so he can only fail up.

[zachbeacon]

Yep, all those people saying Elon Musk was a real life Tony Stark were partly right but not for the reasons they think.

(Though really he's more of an MCU Justin Hammer)

[beyondthefringe]

Stunt-Master... who thinks that the best way to handle a force field real superheroes can't get through is to crash his motorcycle into it really really fast.

[cainofdreaming]

When all you have is a bike, you'll use it for a hammer, wrench, battering ram...

[scorntx]

Apparently some people have even been known to use them as a means of transportation.

The weirdos.
