Ahhhh, but Doom, right now Reed is completely hands off, isn't he? He's making a true effort to patch up his marriage and it seems like he has left this for his partners to handle. and I don't blame him.

As soon as Red shows up you know that things are gonna be stifling. I never really liked his character, but you're not supposed to like his character.
The only thing is, Gyrich is the consumate Beauracrat, with him involved, I'm surprised that the training is so rushed.

Very nice post Spiderwasp. I still maintain that Julia was worse than Carol in that confrontation since she tried to use her daughter as a shield and should never have put her parents in danger anyway. [ Doom, there was a scene in NA I liked. The scene where Cage just wants to buy some milk. He just wants some normalcy. I don't think she was using her daughter as a shield. I think she just wanted life to be normal, and if she acted normal, maybe life would BE normal again. Walking out to your car is a very normal thing. Maybe not the best or smartest thing in the given situation, but a normal act. That's what it seems to me they are portraying here.

She knew Cap was dead. She perpetrated that hoax, and drew the New Avengers into a despicable trap. She stays in the bad book. I was under the impression that when she talked to spider-woman, Carol believed it herself. It was when she got back to Tony that she found out that HE had used her to set the trap. So she didn't intentionally do any of that. Also while she was talking to SW she wasn't trying to set a trap but to truly convince her friend to come back into the fold. Again something that Tony would not have allowed. Her intentions were sincere.

I have to take you to task when it come to Ulysses S. Grant, Nutcase. Now, about the general during the American Civil War I don't know, but many reputed historians consider president Grant's term as one of the most corrupt periods in american government's history... As a General though, he was highly respected. Not that there may have been some corruption there as well. Just pointing out, that there are good and bad folks on either side of most conflicts and that it is not always correct to lump them all together under one banner.

To be fair, Carol thought he was alive at the time she passed the info, and had no chance to change that perception.

OK Balok, I gotta disagree with your grouping.
I know you want to make a point, but do you really believe Ms. Marvel is corrupt?
In the actual Civil War there were people on both sides with integrity, just like there were people on both sides who were evil.
Was Robert E. Lee corrupt? He didn't own slaves. He believed slavery was wrong. He believed that States rights were important so he fought with his state.
Or in this case, since the side you and I were against (yes, I am anti-reg)won, we were the losers. So let's use the North as an example.
Was Abraham Lincoln corrupt, was Grant? In most accounts all of these guys were honorable men.
Rambling on to lead to this point. Carol isn't corrupt. We disagree with the side she chose, but she obeyed the laws as written. She did not want to hurt her friends. But if they broke the law, she upheld it. This argument applies to many others as well.
I don't look at Reed and say corrupt, in this case I say weak willed Same with Pym
Now Stark and Gyrich are on their own.

Alche has it right about Gyrich. So it would appear that they are setting the initiative to fail, and fail massively.
To start with a death, add a coverup and put it all right in Stamford. I thikit'll get real ugly.
It also looks like they're setting it up to revolve around the Cloud 9 character because the writers are putting in an effort to make her someone the readers like and can identify with.

so what we see again, is a failure to pursue due process.
There should be a hearing before doing away with someones powers. The Avengers have hearings when an Avenger kills someone.
In the Military if there is an incident, there is a Court Martial.
This attitude of just carve their powers up and send them out doesn't jive with reality. And Marvel is trying to mirror reality.

The thing is, Armory didn't lose control of HER power. That guy she was with did. He uses the powers of others. This is his fault.
When in control of her power Armory's weapons only allow enough power to stop her opponent, thus not being a deadly weapon.
The other guy took control of her power, overriding that safety.
He is the one that should be washing out, not her.

As a matter of fact, I am a HUGE fan of gun control. You know I can't give you facts for super human registration in-uni but I do know this little chestnut: If you combine the populations of Great Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and Australia you get a population roughly the size of the United States. The USA had 32,000 gun related deaths in 2002, they had 112. Do you think it's because Americans are more homicidial by nature? Or do you think it's because those countries have gun control laws? I'm sorry, I just think it is the height of idiocy to let this kid wander around with a giant killer weapon on her hand. I'm for registration, I don'/t think ANYONE should have a weapon like that but to let a kid who cant even legally register it yet have one is to me the real crime. Here's another fact though Doom. There is a town in Texas where people are required, by law, to own at least one gun per household. They have the lowest crime rate per capita of any town in the nation. The problems with our guns is that most of the bad guys have them and aren't afraid to use them because in many cases our legal system holds no fear for them. Although I still cant approve of a girl walking around with a canon on her arm. But if you were a mugger, you'd probably look elsewhere for a victim.

Another thing I didn't understand is this.
They are trying to establish a 'boot camp' attitude. When I went into basic, we didn't start out with combat drills the very first day. In all branches of the military the first few days are comprised of classification, medical junk and breaking down individual patterns in order to set the foundation for team mentality.
Gyrich is one hundred percent beauracrat. Which means he does things like they've always been done. Boot camp would not have changed, which means these kids would not be in this situation at his point in training.
I guess it's just another believability issue for me.

I am trying to work on my compulsion to buy a complete set of a title once I've bought the first issue. I am tempering that with the guidance given on this site by someone who encourages not to judge a series by the first book.
That being said.
Issue 2 will need to go farther to hold my attention. For me, it's not about disliking an artist. It's just the story doesn't grab me. Them going out of their way to show Gyrich as the slimey government typ is done to death. Most of the new characters are just not that interesting to me. The separation of people from their powers seems like it is gonna be problematic.
I hope it picks up, I really want to like it.

Doom, Tony has proven at other times in the past that he will use the ends to justify the means. Armor wars, rather than clue everyone in, he took the situation in his own hands and killed one person, attacked an Avenger and betrayed Cap, knowing ahead of time he would have to. I don't have my IM back issues to go through, but I can remember there are plenty of other times where he used people to get what he wanted.
Now Reed, on the other hand, that was one of the things that bothered me. He has not been an end/means kinda guy. He always seemed to me to be the guy who'd go out of his way NOT to do that. Also he always one to know there is always a way to beat the long odds.

This interview does bring up one very important question. Which team will Bobby Knight be on? I think this could turn the tide against evil.

No no, no no,
Here in South Carolina the Mormons are almost as prevalant door to door as the Jehovahs witness.
They wear black pants, white shirts and ride bikes.
Almost like a gang. OK now I'm scared. You don't think they are really ninjas in training do you?

All Mormon?!?
You mean they go through towns, house to house, knocking on doors, looking for crime? They never find any because no one will answer the door when they knock.

It's about Jen going after IM I think.

OK, I may be about to start a fight here, but Sub-Mariner?
I have never ever thought he was worth his own series.
He just seems so completely one dimensional. The only time his character has been likeable, for me, is when he has amnesia. At all other time he has been,..ahem,...forgettable.

The way they talk about the upcoming books in her series they are implying that there is about to be some problems between her and IM. I couldn't imagine being the leader of a team when he was on it.
I don't know how much longer they will be working so closely together. She is on who will see that he is manipulating her and resent it heavily, I think.

I'm glad to find out I'm not the only one who sees merit in this title. The racist angle is something that I have noticed as well Doom, almost like they are trying to compensate for skin color issues. They don't need to compensate for anything, because he's a pretty good character on his own. Watching the marriage interaction is fun as well.
