Sentinel Red posted:Jinkies, a Manics reference in a Marvel book and it's not written by Gillen? How peculiar. Anyway, I dug Secret Avengers, it's endearingly absurd, what with the Coulson PANICFACE, Widow CYOA, and Jess talking to a suicidal reality bomb. I love the art. Especially the scene where Jess asks the bomb if it has ever tasted caramel gellato.

God, there have been so many crappy Avengers stories that it was wise to keep the Marvel writers away from the movies.

Oh man, like an idiot I just realized that the runaway planet from Avengers #24 was probably launched to destroy Earth abs stop the incursions. So there's also a threat within 616 that is also aware of the incursions.

I love that there's a book out there that namechecks Jacques Derrida, and then gives said Derrida analogue a gun that deconstructs reality by literally erasing stuff from the comic. Secret Avengers is loving great.

Guess where they jumped to with the time gem shenanigans.

WickedHate posted:Yeah, whoever said it in the comic had a great point in saying Cap's argument was just hoping. Cap did have an argument though, even if that argument was as vague as "find another way". If you notice in the flashbacks, the other illuminati members decided pretty quickly that as soon as the Gauntlet was gone, that was it for their non-planet-busting solutions. I mean granted, if the Infinity Gauntlet busts while trying to fix the problem, that's a little disheartening, but it's honestly not like the Gauntlet is the only all powerful super trinket Marvel's got that the Illuminati could get their hands on. Even if the illuminati would've, for example, told the other Avengers what was up, they could've gotten Banner in on things sooner, and that's one more super-scientist (they also would've had Spider-Ock for a while, for whatever he'd add). I mean, it's kind of strange that when you compare this to Hickman's FF, Reed seems to be regressing. Back in FF, when he realized he couldn't do everything on his own to face the Council of Reeds, he got a panel of whoever he possibly could, right down to Doom himself. Now in NA, when facing down another threat that is potentially even worse, he's going and locking himself in the basement with his science club being as secretive as possible.

Dooms solution to incursions would probably be "kill every other earth that exists to preserve latveria" which is kind of not the one that they are looking for i think. Or it would be "evacuate latveria and destroy the earth". also not a great solution

New Avengers ends the volume with Cap, Doom, an alternate reality SpOck, Ultimate Reed and Groot highfiving each other and telling the illuminati to suck it as they activate their anti-doomsday device to save everything.

Or at least what he's being told by the Black Panther ancestors.

TwoPair posted:I mean, it's kind of strange that when you compare this to Hickman's FF, Reed seems to be regressing. That seems to be the general trend for all the members of the Illuminati. Stark has once again become the weapons manufacturer who believes strength of arms can save the world. Strange is letting his arrogance lead him to a fall, just as it did in his origin story. Beast has turned away from Xavier's original dream of peaceful coexistence and has focused on survival through any means, just as he did during the time of x-tinction. Banner's inclusion into the team is also pretty interesting. When the question is "How do we save the world?", he's often excluded because the danger of the Hulk often outweighs his contribution as a problem solver. But now that the question has switched to "How do we destroy a world in order to save our own?", his more destructive half suddenly becomes an attractive asset. Banner's genius, of course, is what forced the Illuminati's hand into including him, but I think Tony would want him around anyway in this situation because there is always the World Breaker if intellect isn't enough.

That NA issue was a bit of a cocktease, but it was still a good read. Avengers was so loving good. Nthing that it was a lot more organic and in-character than Civil War, I was just thinking that while reading it.

Not really surprising since Hickman mentioned it but Marvel are already hyping up the end of his run in a years time . Starting with some time skipping in September.

It appears the latest New Avengers takes place after Avengers #29, since Tony has the bandage and is particularly mentally undone. From the end of Avengers #29, did it appear that just Cap was transported by the time gem, meaning his whereabouts are currently unknown to the rest of the team? Or do we think everyone present was transported and they have all already returned to the present by New Avengers, even though what they see in the future won't be known to the reader until subsequent issues of Avengers?

The AIMpire has been grating for a while now, in every book they've been in. Like, I don't think they should be loving jokes, but there's a sweet spot the organization should be at (in my mind) between "ineffectual beekeepers" and "unstoppable master planners".

It just seems that way because each issue is working on about one character and their relation to the story. But it looks like Hyperion is about to wipe them all out so all is good.

I already posted in the BSS Chat thread, but you guys should really check out Mighty Avengers this week. It's dealing with some parts related to Original Sin that people have been curious about Uatu's wife and child and the Land art is probably the best single book I've seen from him. Seriously, if you've been putting this book off because of his art, you should really flip through it this week.

I'm just getting back into comics after a long absence (last time I read monthlies, I was a teenager in the mid to late 90s, and that was mostly X-men stuff). I've recently started reading Avengers and New Avengers and absolutely love them. Are there any previous Avengers storylines that I should be checking out? (preferably ones that I can get in TPB or GN form?) Also, are there any Avengers related podcasts I should check out (I am thinking something like Rachel & Miles X-plain the X-men, but for the Avengers instead)?

There's really nothing like Hickman's Avengers/New Avengers besides..well, Hickman's other works. There's his Fantastic Four v1 omnibus which should still be available, which collects the FF: Dark Reign mini all the way up to the first 6 issues of FF. Volue 2 of it comes out November 2014, which presumably collects the rest of the run. There's a couple of references to what happened there and it tying a bit into A/NA.

I greatly enjoyed the issue considering it was a tie-in, the Ulana stuff was good and her need for Brashear was lovely, and as for Land deciding Blade looks like Keith David..ridiculous as it is I honestly don't have a problem with it because Keith David owns everything.
