Avengers, Earth's Mightiest Heroes
 

Tell you the truth I like how the main book looks like a real Avengers team not the Wolverine/Spiderman tools.....um I mean team. I am glad the Vision is back as he was a mainstay from the late 60's to the early eighties. When Bendis killed him off pissed me off more than what John Byrne did to him. Adding Storm to the team is a nice twist like that has been done before (In Avengers 16 they added three villains after all). If protector is going to stay they need to change the costume, I think it looks like something they would have done in the seventies. I do hope they go off in the glory they deserve but they need to lose the Osborn thing. He was great for the storie in 2010 but they need to move on.

New Avengers seem pretty decent and it is nice that Wolverine and Spidey are there alone but I am kind of sick of Luke Cage. Whenever I see him I can't get the pic of his yellow silk shirt out of my head. When did he become A-list? Also Jewel? Why are we forced to deal with her? I read a bit of Alias but she seemed like a huge mess and shouldn't be on an Avenger team. Is they team supposed to be rejects and misfits? If so Doc Strange is in the wrong spot. I do pick it up but mostly because I like to see them getting beat on.

Bendis is gone in May and they have not really said where the ship will go but I hope to God that Osborn and his Dark Avengers are out of site. It is an old bit and I would just like to see him go away. They need new stories, maybe something cosmic, I mean how long has it been since a good space type thing.

Maybe they need a 'street team' but I hope they are kept separate for now. The latest issue of New Avengers has Iron Man in it. Why? The teams need to be their own teams. I kind of think it would be better if they had different writers to keep them "pure".

I am not sure of the other two books I bought the first four issues of Secret Avengers and I was not impressed with the way it was going. The only thing I liked was seeing Valkyrie in action, I wish that she would get her own mini or solo. I have a couple issues of Avengers Academy and liked it but I haven't picked it up. I do know X-23 is joining but it doesn't do much for me as I have very little idea who she is and never read any books she was in.

Anyway that's my ramble, thoughts?

Shame on you, you need to go pick up X-23 and catch back up, they will be ending her series shortly, that's why she's in AA. Also pick up Uncanny X-Force. Very Epic.

I did read the first 12 issues and liked them but I working against my budget. I might be having a couple books go away soon so we be seen who is the winners.

Was one of the teachers killed or lefty recently? I thought I heard it in glancing but not sure.

Um which book are you referring too? If you're talking about AA, I don't follow that one, only have the last 2 with the X-Men in it. Although I think it was Jacosta who was killed.

jocasta was killed by future Reptil. Avengers Academy is awesome and you should be reading it regularly. Best Avengers book easily. Secret Avengers is bad most of the time and gets really good when you least expect it. But im liking the villians united thing going on with Osborn and its a neat change. But you can see how pissed Cap is when Osborn shows up.

He sure was, I just wish Osborn was gone. I hope the new writer takes a clean break.

Has anyone heard yet who is replacing Bendis?

I did not know he was leaving.

Ditto...leaving Marvel, or just that book in particular.

Just off of Avengers as far as I have heard.. it wont be till the end of 2012 though.

I may have to start reading Avengers Academy especially if they're going to be giving Turbo a larger role, she was always one of my favorite New Warriors. Has there been any word on Justice and Speedball since they resigned from the Academy?

And please move X-23 back into the X-Books where she belongs...

NO WAY! She's just a knock off in the X-books- she'd become background fodder like Sage!
She needs to out in the greater MU, fighting monsters like Hybrid (stil cant get over my geekasm that they brought him back!).

FUN FACT: Fighting Hybrid alongside Rom is when Rogue decided to leave the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants!

everyone should be reading avengers academy. at least in this book x-23 stands out. i dont read any of the x-books so i cant anything about how shes portrayed in that.

They need to bring Sage back as well...she was last seen in what Exiles? She would make a good addition to the Jean Grey School.
