majingojiraThis took for-gorram-ever to get together. Photobucket was giving me a hard time.
Here, we cover Avengers Academy #21-27 as the kids adjust to the West Coast Campus, meet some old foes, older foes and make new friends.
And I complain about things Arena dropped the ball on, because we all know that's entertaining.
( Avengers! Runaways! Subversions! )

majingojiraDespite being a tie in to an event comic, Avengers Academy's tie in to Fear Itself is honestly one of the best things to come out of both. I'll also be posting another honestly good thing to come out of Fear Itself, an issue of Secret Avengers written by Nick Spencer. Because it's taking place in Washington DC like the events here, and is just that awesome.
This arc serves as a culmination of a lot of what Academy was about and may just be the best arc in the entire series. Yeah, it's downhill after this. But it's one hell of a high note.
Get your hankerchiefs ready, this is gonna be one hell of a tearjerker.
It also continues the trend these posts have had of "Academy showing up Arena at its own game" as we see death handled maturely and with peak drama.
( For those that managed to miss this event (lucky you), )

majingojiraNow, back to the fun of Avengers Academy. The series as a whole did not have a lot of tie in material. Some of the kids appeared in Wasp & Ant-Man, and they also played a role in Marvel Universe vs. Avengers. We already covered the former, and we're not touching the later for several reasons: 1) It's honestly very bad, 2) It's an AU, 3) They barely do anything there, 4) the art is horrible, 5) They keep drawing the wrong Hazmat (yes, there are two characters named Hazmat at Marvel, the other one was created for the crappy Rise of the Imperfects video game.
But there are a few others, and we'll be going through them here. Avengers Academy Giant Size #1 and Amazing Spider-Man #661-662. Also, we have #13, 14 and 14.1 of Academy. Most of these are just side-stories and setup for what's to come.
Oh, and a dance. Because stress.

majingojiraI know I said it would be a month before part two, but damnit, I'm on spring break and a bit bored. Part 2 comes now and will probably eat my Bandwidth to nothing.
This posts will cover #7 through 12. it skips over one extra issue because there's so much going on here.

majingojiraI dislike dwelling on the negative things in life. I'd rather revel in the good things we had, to celebrate them, even in their absence (which is when I usually realize I really like something). That was the case with Avengers Academy. I'd didn't realize I was hooked until It was too late.
So I'm going to do a retrospective posts. This covers Avengers Academy #1 through #6 and includes their psuedo-Crossover with Thunderbolts (#147) and one appearance in the Ant Man-Wasp mini. To be honest, Academy wasn't the best of series, but it had heart and an underlying theme which slowly revealed itself over it's run. Mostly? Thumbing its nose at mainstream comic conventions. That'll become more obvious later.
Let's get the ball rolling.
( A lot behind the cut. )

starwolf_oakleyThe first page from AVENGERS ACADEMY #30 after the cut. Some of the Avengers Academy kids talk amongst themselves about the Utopia kids dropped off while the Avengers and the X-Men try to "deal" with the Phoenix Force. It seems to be a simple "Stay there until the grownups save the world" situation, but things are complicated.

Avengers Academy #28
Apr. 10th, 2012 11:43 amsherkahnWith Marvel redeeming themselves on a lot of fronts last week, I don't know how this was missed.
The Runaways pay a visit to the Avenger's Academy in order to bring back Old Lace, who was last seen in another dimension/time, sent away to heal (see last issue).
I found it to be another pleasant surprise.
( Over at the Jean Grey School they teach fisticuffs. Over here, we teach... )
