Avengers #1....Ugggh!

[samurainoir]

I'm a total Deodato art mark. I almost cried when he stopped working on the Thunderbolts.

Luckily Dark Avengers was more or less a rebrand of his Thunderbolts since most of that cast shifted over. Secret Avengers seems much more of a new project with new characters and dynamics for him.

Secret Avengers must be the current day spin on the Defenders.

No...Secret Defenders

With Brubaker and Deodato on Secret Avengers, I think it's a good title to replace Dark Avengers. The previews suggests it has this Mission Impossible vibe to it.

Deodato Rules imo.
I may just have to get the Secret Avengers.

^ No love for Deodato? He's a pretty good storyteller IMO....

The Secret Avengers is a good lineup, too bad about the Deodato art.

That looks nothing like Black Widow.

Seems like with the Iron Man movie coming out, Black Widow should be there somewhere.

She's in the Secret Avengers.




(and that is the Irredeemable Ant Man, Eric O'Grady wearing the Pym helmet)

She hasn't been tapped for an Avengers team yet in all this rebooting? I'm surprised since she's all over the place in Marvel mags lately....She even has her own ongoing now.

^^^ The problem with these guys on the Avengers...Spidey's a loner, Thing already is on a team, and Wolverine is on 2 or 3 other teams. Also, Wolvie really doesn't play by the same rules the Avengers do. With the amount of characters that Marvel has to pick from to load up the tem, why these already overexposed bunch of guys? Seems like with the Iron Man movie coming out, Black Widow should be there somewhere.

As far as this deal with the AVENGERS lineup being "tainted" with
Spidey, Thing, Wolvie etc., I think if they're THAT interested in something like
that, they should have a series with a new team name and stack it with
the creme de la creme of Marvel Heroes.

A team with Spidey, Hulk, Cap, Wolverine, Thing, Iron Man, Storm,
Spider-Woman and She Hulk starring as a team in a new book would raise
a lot of commotion and they wouldn't have to hijack the "AVENGERS" name.

Altho' with the AVENGERS movie being primed, in THAT mindset,
I guess its a good business move to use the name of the movie that all the
other movies are leading up to.

They can always take out the "new" heavy-hitters once the movie is released.
