* Mike Deodato Jr. is the new artist for the New Avengers, starting with #17. That's bad news. * Lowe on Hawkeye: "I can't say what the future of Hawkeye will be, but (Brian) Bendis will likely be handling it." That's just as bad, perhaps even worse.  After House of M #8 I thought "Cool beans! Maybe someone with half a brain is bringing Clint back, and Bendis was made to show some clues." But if Bendis is going to be handling Hawkeye's return, we know what that will involve... - The Scarlet Witch will eat Galactus - Wolverine will gore Cap and no-one will ever mention it afterwards - It will be revealed that Mockingbird and Echo (Ronin) once had a lesbian love affair - J. Jonah Jameson will be outed as the "One-Above-All" ,,, and after the 4,208 issues it takes to tell those storylines at a level so mediocre one of my 13 year old English students could write it, Hawkeye will appear in the final panel with no explanation and no questions asked. *sigh* - Adrian |

As of now i won't be content until the old team, full fledged return, with a competent dignified writer-artist team on it, and on the old book.
If Marvel came up with an Avengers Classic book, with either some hot shot, young gun, or plain b or c-level writer, i still wouldn't pick it up.
I'm not even interested in BENDIS! getting out. The whole book needs to disappear, period. I'm not interested in "New" anything, retcons, fixes or whatever the hell it is.
I'm interested in the Avengers, and that's it. No Avengers, no money from me. Hey, more money for the competition, fine by me.

Deodato Jr is not that bad (that is in my opinion of course), but I don't really like the idea of Bendis handling Hawkeye. As much as I dislike "cosmic cheats", I hope that someone will soon say "everything from the battle with Scorpio on was just a cosmic illusion, so let's go back there". Unlikely, eh ?  |

Avengers has always had a lot of change... this is just yet another big change. I'm sure New Avengers will slowly mold back into the Avengers as some of the team members start returning. I guess I'm in the minority in that I do enjoy Bendis' Avengers. Considering that I didn't enjoy the book in the latter part of Busiek's run, Johns' run or anything after that, I can't complain because I'm actually enjoying the Avengers right now. If I want classic Avengers, I can happily read the older stories, because the more recent attempts at classic haven't been my cup o' tea.

I hope Hawkeye comes back...
Thor too. Isn't he dead? or can a GOD really die?
I like Deodato, though his images tend to blur after an issue or two.
And Bendis?
Well...
Could be worse.
Could be Claremont.

Claremont, Bendis, Austen, from the frying pan into the fire.
In the meantime, Roger Stern and Steve Englehart or even Marv Wolfman have no regular books in years.
I guess that makes sense.

Dan Slott had the Avengers come offer She-Hulk a position on the team. I'd like to see her back, and I'd like to see someone redeem Wanda.

Could be worse. Could be Claremont. Curt I'd rather have Bendis any day. Under Claremont, the women on the team would either be emotionless tough talking badasses (Just how many more times do we need to hear Psylocke say "I was dead, got better"), or whiny brats. And most everyone in the book would be threatening to cut out someone's heart, or feast on their living hearts. Claremont's first run on the X-Men was fantastic, but now, he seems to just be writing the same stories over and over again. -Corey |

I'm new here...first time reading this site...interesting stuff. I happen to like New Avengers...but for those that don't, in a year or two i am sure the title will go back to just Avengers (I mean, they won't be "NEW" anymore, right?) and things will sort of return to normal. Things go in cycles...so do comics...

Welcome aboard, to you and all the other new members. We've really grown a great deal in a short time.
I actually asked Tom Brevoort that precise question, about two weeks ago-- "When will the 'NEW' be taken out of NEW AVENGERS?" He replied that neither he nor anyone else at Marvel had even begun to think about doing so. I take that to mean it will be there for quite a while; probably as long as the book keeps selling so well (*sigh*). He referenced NEW WARRIORS and NEW THUNDERBOLTS, but I don't think the comparisons are quite that exact...

Then I have no choice. I must buy Marvel and exert my will.
Bendis is as bad as that infamous 90's hack Harras...

While nobody's going to confuse the Gatherers storyline with the Thomas/Buscema glory days, it was the last time Avengers Vol. 1 was anywhere close to respectable, IMO, and it was also a lot better than much of what preceded it in the post-Stern era. I don't think Harras's run was a high point in Avengers history, but it was certainly passable, which is more than I can say for The Cursing, Heroes Deformed, or The X-Spidervengers. |
