This is one of those Hebrew things that most of us Australians don't get, right?

From Previews. Should I take "as only Frank Cho can bring it" as a compliment?? And since most of them have been together before, why do they need to "get to know each other"??
MIGHTY AVENGERS #2
Written by Brian Michael Bendis, pencils and cover by Frank Cho.
Ultron is back and, yes, now he's a she. It's Ultron as only Frank Cho can bring it. And the Mighty Avengers haven't had a moment to get to know each other before they are thrown into one of the most epic adventures in the history of the Avengers.
32 pages, $2.99, in stores on April 4.

Well, dlw66, the argument could be made that Bendis has been with the Avengers for over 2 years... and he STILL doesn't know them...

And the Mighty Avengers haven't had a moment to get to know each other before they are thrown into one of the most epic adventures in the history of the Avengers. 32 pages, $2.99, in stores on April 4. This all reminds me of a Stephen Bissette story. Bissette a former Swamp Thing artist, loved to draw bugs and pretty obvious from most of his backgrounds in Swampy's book. Anyway, one of his art teachers asked him to draw a day at the races and Bissette drew jockeys riding giant bugs... What I'm trying to say is as long as Cho draws a book (which I guess isn't long) expect to see She-Ultron, Baron She-mo, The Masters of She-vil, and any other gender benders Bendis can toss his way. Don't even fret about that comics code, kids, those boobies are villainous, not lust-worthy...

Welcome back Rex! if you've been perusing the posts, you can see the civil war is still raging...that is, between Bendis supporters and Bendis haters!

Sorry, I'll be doing something far less painful than reading this story, just as soon as I finish this manual on self-administered root canal therapy.

You know what will happen, it'll turn out that DOCTOR Doom is really a DENTIST. That will truly rock Marvel to its foundation

I will be waiting on this one. Looking forward to seeing how the team battles Ultron. Each time he appears I am amazed at the ways they (Avengers) win their battles.
