Avengers #1....Ugggh!

[thunderbolt]

(Sssshh.....Busiek & Perez also gave us Justice, Firestar, Triathalon and Silverclaw as members)

I can live with those guys if you've got Vision, Scarlet Witch, Cap, Thor, Iron Man, Wonder Man, etc.

Me too, no sweat!

Outside of Dark Avengers, I just personally really haven't cared much for Benis writing or direction, ... that's just me. If you like it, cool ..., That was just the 1st post I think I ever read, or even heard for that matter enjoying his writes to that degree.

That's cool - different strokes for different folks.

I used to spend a lot of time on the Bendis Board and was reading his stuff before he was at Marvel, so I'm definitely on the other side of that fence. There are a lot of people who like him and his work, and he wouldn't be able to stay on titles so long if nobody was buying, so enough people like what he's doing, even if where you hang online doesn't reflect it.

Of course, even Rob Liefeld - the internet's symbol of everything wrong with the trends of the 90s - has a legion of silent fans who bump up sales of books he guest draws on, so there's definitely no accounting for taste.

There's room for everyone.

^ Ya mean like Vibe and Gypsy?

i liked Firestar and Justice, I think theres room for a junior member on any team

[MegoSteve]

I love John Romita Jr.'s stuff, but don't care for the art posted in this thread. I think this is just a case of an inker's style not working with the penciller.

Nonsense, eh? Why I oughtta....

^^^^ Amen, Busiek and Perez had the best Avengers line up. And that was the last time I read the book.

That SHOULD have been the last time I read the book but I was there for Geoff Johns short run if I recall and have been there since Bendis disassembled them....Lots of wasted money IMO. Always hoping it would get better but it never did.

Dear Marvel,
Here's the ideal Avengers team: Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Scarlet Witch, The Vision, She-Hulk, Yellowjacket (or Ant-Man), The Wasp, Hawkeye, The Beast, Wonder Man and Tigra. Use it!

Thanks,
Anthony

Junior HAS chops, but he long ago fell into a very unappealing style, IMHO. I loved his early Spidey stuff. But since then..nah.

As for the lineup...it's corporate-driven, obviously. The Avengers has never been the total A-list that JLA normally was. Now they are, for better or worse.

That cover looks like fan art - shameful.

[Surfsup]

I don't have any problems with the team selection, I always thought that anybody from the Marvel Universe could possibly be a member of the team. It's obviously tactical with all those characters being very popular but then they do have to shift units.

As for the chosen artist, I'm overjoyed! I've always been a big fan of JrJr, even more so than his legendary dad.

I had too ..., It was the Greatest , Longest Nonsense that I totally didn't agree with Since I read a Hue Post , in quite some time. I was Intruiged.

Nonsense, eh? Why I oughtta....

Anybody wanna buy some cheap Black Knight Customs cards?

This is the only title that I still collect and I'm not sure why I continue. I've been frustrated with myself for feeling the need to buy all the titles of books I'm not sure I enjoy. I keep hoping theat Hero (with a capital "H") will come back and win. I don't like this new art, but I'll keep an open mind. and hope.
