ive never been an avengers fan. that all changed when they killed 2/3's of them. i really miss hawkeye but i really like what they have done w/ the team. i have been reading the miniseries and have even started reading some of the solo books. ill be the first to admit that the avengers cant hold a candle (power wise) to the jla, but it is just good reading. i really am liking this years big marvel gig, the avengers, x-men, and magneto come together to decide wanda's fate (as she lost controll of her powers some months ago and killed most of the other avengers for those of you who havnt been reading). does kinda irk me that wolverine appears in every single marvel book anymore....lol. keep reading on and telling me what u think.

ps. pick up Earths Mightiest Heroes (#1-8) for a great avengers "year one" style feel. its a really good read and really pits the characters emotionally up against one another and u feel where they are coming from.

ya, i think magneto is going to either have to kill her, or else shelter and protect her from the avengers. ppl will really have to pick sides. how do ppl like giant man and cap choose between killing the great evil that hurt their friends, or the woman whom they all were part of the wedding ceremony? its going to get very interesting. quicksilver may be the deciding factor. god bless brian micheal bendis for NOT writing this book, as he might just have them all sit around the Avengers tower and play chess.

I just read ultimates (ultimate avengers) #2 & #3 last night, if you haven't read the 1st storyline, hers how it goes, in the ultimates all marvel superheroes started after the year 2000, peter parker is still in high school, capt. america was just fished out of the ocean, after being frozen since 1945. anyway the hulk kills almost 900 people in manhatten and is going to get the death penalty. you need to read this book, it is one of marvels very best.

yeah, the new ultimates is pretty awsome. i really like how the trial went, and how giant man saved banner. i think this is just gonna make shield look bad when the hulk comes back and trashes new york again. sides that....captain america is super gay. they tried making him a bad ass...but did he actually threaten thor? wat could cap actually do to thor?? thats right....nothing. other then that this is one of the best written books and i cant wait for the next issue.

did you see that marvel is coming out with ultimate defenders? giant man looks to be the leader, i think hellcat and valkrie are going to be in it too. I will pick up the 1st three issues and see if it is any good. i think #1 ships in june.

ultimate defenders is gonna blow. no giffen and crew equals crappy group. these guys are gonna make the defenders popular and marvel is going to run their success into the ground by making 30 defenders books like they do w/ x-men.

i just read in the new preveiws that the avengers will plan to go into genosha, this summer to retreive the scarlet witch, that will mean the avengers vs magneto (and maybe the x-men) wonder how wolverine will take this.

this crossover is a good example of marvel fishing for "human" stories. making wolvie choose, making the team deciding wanda's fate, etc. i think this could be an excellent book provided that they dont concentrate too much on individual characters, and not enough on the big picture.

ahhh....does any body know what is goin on in avengers anymore? thor isnt a norse god...blaspamy! i think loki is playing a trick on them all. i hope thor trashes all those homos that dare try an oppose him. thor could easily crush cap's shield w/ one hit, teleport wanda and crew to asgard (where they would be killed), fry iron man and his girlfriend, and still have time at the end of the day to take one of his many hippy girlfriends to a tofu bar. god i hope the ultimates dont take him down...and i dont want to find out that thor isnt a norse god...i would be most distrought. having said that...this is one of the best books i have read for a really long time. i might have some complaints now, but im sure it will come full circle soon. or at least i hope so. i hope cap gets the crap kicked outa him.
