I just wandered back after being away a while as well. I've gotten away from recent comics but have been enjoying the oldies and the MCU films. My feelings exactly. I hardly buy any recent books but have instead decided to focus my comic dollars on fleshing out my collection of old stuff. I think it's strange that Marvel has lost touch with what many of feel made the books great back in the 60s-80s and even 90s and yet they get it when they make the movies. They are the kind of exciting fun the books used to be. I'm finding that buying the old stuff still gives me that pleasure though.

I agree with Starfoxxx. This used to be a very fun site to visit and we have had many interesting conversations. It's great to see someone new. Unfortunately, most of us that are regulars here have stopped buying the books. I think I can speak for MOST of us when I say that it's not because we stopped loving the Avengers though. It's more like the Avengers we love no longer exist in print and haven't for some time. Our love for the old books is as strong as ever but you run out of things to talk about with the same people about the same books. On the other hand, we all seem to be quite pleased with the quality of the movies. That might be the best place to get something going again - or any topic regarding the Avengers dating back 10 years or more. I for one simply can't comment on current happenings because I'm not reading the books but would love to have some Avengers discussions.
Perhaps another starting place would be to find out what books everyone is currently reading or have bought recently (If any). For me, it's a very short and odd list of things that don't tie in too much to the main Marvel titles - Hell-cat, Silver Surfer, Ant-man, Hercules, and the one issue of Civil War 2 that featured Power Pack. Yep, 'fraid that's it.

Further updates - Some of Marvel's NOW titles were leaked online recently so they went ahead and confirmed these via their Previews catalog. Avengers #1 - Waid continues on the current main title. Vision, Lady Thor, SamCap, the new Wasp, Hercules (armed) and I'm unsure of who the other (new?) character is. (Also the new Wasp is getting her own title, the Unstoppable Wasp) This really annoys me. In her 50 year history and tons of great character development, Janet Van Dyne has never been given so much as a limited series. Finally, the do an "Ant-man and the Wasp" LS but it is with Hank as the Wasp. Now, the Wasp finally gets her own book but it still isn't Janet. Meanwhile, the movie (Which I do look forward to because the first one was surprisingly excellent) features Hope Pym getting read to become the Wasp. Where's the love for the real thing?

Thanks for the update, Marvel Boy. Since my LCS close, I haven't been able to get copies of Marvel Previews regularly, so I'm not up to date with Marvel's output. Well, that Divided we Stand banner looks pretty cool, as does the Champions and GLA covers. That being said, I have no interest in any of these stories. The GLA was always a favorite spin-off group of mine, but I feel like they've been the wacky well that Marvel has gone to one time too many, already. I love that West Coast Avengers font, though. U.S.Avengers looks horrible. And let me know when Marvel decides to kill off Squirrel-Girl. I'll buy that issue. The U.S.Avengers does look horrible. I may buy the GLA title though. I have always liked them. I was even okay with Squirrel Girl when she was being treated as the ridiculous character that she is. Even the issue where she defeated Dr. Doom and everyone else was obviously presented in jest. I didn't care for it but I also didn't take it seriously. Then, suddenly, people did. Now people seriously talk about how she can defeat anyone. As a joke, I seriously liked her. As a serious hero, she's a joke. She needs to go away.

One reason that this conflict worked better than in the comics (And I agree that it did) was that the initial cause of the concern made more sense. In the books, the problem started with the New Warriors and the Stamford incident. This always seemed completely forced and artificial to me. In a world where incidents of this nature happen every day and have been for years and years with numerous heroes and groups, this particular incident didn't seem that extraordinary. The cinematic universe is newer and the Slovakia accords were prompted by numerous events. When you add the personal stakes involving Stark having been responsible for Ultron's creation and Cap's attachment to Bucky, you have something that seems real. I understood where both sides were coming from and even wavered in my agreement throughout the movie.
So far, the cinematic universe has surpassed all of my expectations. When I first saw that they were covering the Winter Soldier I shuddered. I hated bringing Bucky back in the books. His death, along with Gwen Stacy's, Uncle Ben's, Thunderbird's and Captain Marvel's (At least at that time) were the only lasting impacts death had ever had on the Marvel Universe. I didn't think it should have been undone. The movie handled it well though and because I had not already seen dozens of movie characters return from the dead, I wasn't bothered. When I saw that the second Avengers would be called Ultron Unlimited, I rolled my eyes. That was an awful comic book story and one of the last Avengers stories I actually read before giving up. I loved the movie. At the time that Civil War comic came out, I thought it was one of the worst stories ever. I'm still not a fan but will admit it was brilliant compared to most of the garbage that has followed. The Civil War movie was terrific. At this rate, I might even refrain from moaning if they do Secret Invasion. However, if they do Avengers Disassembled, I will still break out in a cold sweat since that was really the beginning of the end of my comic book love affair with the Avengers.

It was AMAZING! Chock full if Avengers, and much like Avengers:Age of Ultron, most of this movie has the feel of a live-action comic book. I agree. I can't quite go along with the reviews that say that it was the best one yet but it was up there, especially once it gets really moving. Loved the new Spider-man (Although it totally creeps me out to be thinking that Aunt May is hot) and Black Panther. I was also glad to see that Ant-man is still getting the treatment he deserves. I've said this before but I just don't understand how Marvel consistently delivers the fun and excitement of old-school comics on screen but seems to have forgotten how to do it in the actual books. If the books were a tenth of the quality of the movies, I'd still be going broke buying tons of monthly titles. Come to think of it, maybe I'm better off that they've forgotten.

Yeah, I've always been a Marvel comics guy, with DC in second place, love Who's Who and classic Justice League, and pretty much anything George Perez did for DC in the 80s.... but when it comes to movies, Marvel is sooooo superior to DC. I don't like ALL Marvel movies (Deadpool and Iron Man 2 & 3, I'm looking at YOU), but both AVENGERS, Capt Americas, Thors, Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, the last 2 X-men (took a while for them to get good), the first 2 Tobey Maguire Spideys....I love these fun, well-acted super-hero movies. I have very little interest in seeing Superman/Batman, I didn't like any of the new Superman, Batman, Green Lantern movies, and the DC TV shows just don't do it for me. (Neither does Agents of SHIELD, though) Being such a huge comic book fanatic, it wouldnt take much for DC to produce movies to entertain me.....but they have failed miserably at capturing the spirit of the comic books like Marvel has. I agree with the movie analysis completely (With the exception that I actually did like Deadpool and the first 2 X-Men). I notice you didn't even bother to mention Fan4stic, which is probably wise. The DC movies just haven't cut it for me. I hated "Man of Steel" so much that it has stopped me, so far, from seeing Superman vs. Batman. I'll probably wait for DVD, and even then I'm not excited. I also agree that "Agents of SHIELD" has been underwhelming. Sometimes it has been very good but that's less than half the time. "Agent Carter" on the other hand has been excellent and "Daredevil" and "Jessica Jones" were both both fantastic. Where we do disagree, however, is DC TV. I love all of the DC Shows (Flash, Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl, and Gotham). I wish DC could do half as well on the big screen and I do include the Dark Knight series in this which I thought was okay but not as impressive as most people seem to think (Only my opinion). I wish DC would connect it's universes like Marvel has done. They have excellent actors already portraying Flash, Green Arrow, Atom, Supergirl, Hawkgirl, Black Canary, Firestorm, Martian Manhunter and more. If they just used the movies to introduce Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Green Lantern (Although with better versions than I've seen of any of them) and then tie that to the TV universe, a Justice League would be ready to go. Marvel, especially Marvel Studios, just gets it.

It occurred to me that it could be an interesting thought exercise to come up with "Hybrid avengers", characters combining 2 known avengers, much in the vein of the characters from the Amalgam Universe. I have a few, focusing on the Black Panther today: the Black Panther Knight, Captain Wakanda, Iron Panther and Killer Bee. Lol As Spiderwasp, I think I started playing this game a long time ago so continuing in that line - Captain Arachnid, Ironwasp, Ms. Spider, Hell-bug,Spiderbeast, Waspeye, Scarlet Spider (Oops, that one's been done).

One of the worst comic series ever (Even by today's standards). The story was pretty bad and that Century character was terrible but no aspect could come close to the art for sheer awfulness. And yes, I have the entire series. I was a big fan of the West Coast Avengers and continued to hope that this would become good because of my love for the characters. It is now one of the embarrassments of my collection.

Okay, Squadron Supreme by James Robinson with art by Leonard Kirk. This team is comprised of sole survivors of Earths destroyed by Incursions. Hyperion is the same one seen throughout Hickman's Avengers run. You also have Nighthawk, Doctor Spectrum, Blur (of DP7 of the New Universe) and Power Princess (from Gruenwald's Squadron). Having seen their respective worlds die, they are firmly intent on protecting their new home from any such similar threat, whatever the cost and whatever the consequence. So far, their actions have been conducted within the shadows, but their first public move is a big one, taking on Namor the Sub-mariner and Atlantis. Doctor Spectrum particularly loathes Namor, for his role in the Illuminati's actions that allowed her Earth to perish in an Incursion. Factor in Namor's continued attacks against the surface world over the decades and clearly it's time for someone to properly handle this ongoing threat. The Squadron engages Namor and his forces in an attack, where things appear to be going as usual, until Nighthawk's deception comes into play. Namor believes to have gotten the upper hand on Hyperion, taking him out when in fact, Hyperion departs to enact Nighthawk's plan; take Atlantis out of the equation, you then solve the problem. Namor watches in stunned horror as Hyperion lifts the entire city from the depths of the ocean, it's populace fleeing as best they can, falling back into the ocean. While the rest of the Squadron hinder his attempts to reach Hyperions, Namor can only watch as he then flies the city over land, throwing it from height where it crashes upon the surface, destroyed. Namor swears to kill Hyperion but then Hyperion, using his vision, kills Namor instead, beheading him. Finished with this personal goal, Nighthawk then declares the group can move on to actual business. Public perception is, of course, widely divided. As news spread of the Squadron's subsequent attacks on global Hydra bases and Maggia operations, some people view their actions as being heroic and necessary (one woman even says they are doing what the Avengers have always been too scared to do) while others want to see them held accountable for their actions and crimes, no better than the villains they are taking down. Meanwhile, their power and the death of Namor doesn't go unnoticed. Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch, now works with the Unity Squad of UA. He is furious over the death of his former comrade and the over-zealousness of this new highly dangerous group. SHIELD and Old Man Steve agrees, thinking the UA needs to do something about them now.... I was wary of this title at first, but wow, did it start off with a bang. Naturally, Robinson may have to walk a fine line here with the gray morals this team seems to favor against being viewed or rooted for as heroes. Or as Hammond described them, "The power of the Avengers with the reasoning of Frank Castle". A dangerous combination indeed. Kirk does a great job here with the actions scenes, from the rising and destruction of Atlantis to Namor's fate. The status quo has been greatly upset and it'll be interesting to see how this new Squadron fares in defense of their new home. I love the Squadron Supreme. The Gruenwald limited series is my favorite comic series of all time. However, like most of today's Marvel, this isn't them so I have no interest. The fact that the rest of the beloved team that had so much potential (Though no one other than Gruenwald could seem to get to it) is dead except Power Princess further makes me know that I won't be buying it. On a scale of 1-10, my interest level is -2.

What's that bobc? I couldn't hear you with the theme from STAR WARS loudly playing in my brain, haha. Captain America: Civil War was one of the previews before Star Wars.... I was hoping to see the preview of X-men/Apocalypse, but it was just Capt A and some Disney Pixar thing (I never could get into Disney or Pixar stuff, and was really hoping Star Wars wouldn't be influenced by the lameness of Disney.... sorry Disney fans, just my opinion.) ....Star Wars was good, definitely didn't disappoint me. I saw Star Wars today and agree, it was good. My theater showed previews of X-Men/Apocalypse and Civil War. No Disney/Pixar. Guess you're making me appreciate them more now.

[ [/quote]Hm, but are you sure about including the controversial plotline about Franklin Stark traveling back in time and becoming the father of Ben Parker, the current Spider-Man?
[/quote] I don't think that plot is that controversial. After all, without it Ben Parker couldn't have married May Parker (The Scarlet Spider) and they couldn't have given birth to Red Spider, Pink Spider, Silver Spider, Beige Spider and Spider-Gwen Jr. That makes it all worthwhile.

From the time I was a kid, I've always dreamed about what it would be like to write for Marvel. I had many great story ideas. Last night I was thinking about what it would be like to work for current Marvel and I think I'm perfectly qualified. Here's my idea of what meeting a fan at ComicCon would sound like:
Fan: So, what big storylines do you have coming up? Me: It's going to be huge. There's a 53 part crossover I'm spearheading about the divorce of Galactus and She-Hulk. The custody of the Universe is at stake and much depends on her lawyer, Ironman. Fan: But, Tony Stark isn't a lawyer. Me. Of course not. Matt Murdock is Ironman. Tony Stark is Sandman, the founder and leader of the Fantastic Four. Fan: You mean the Frightful Four? Me: Don't be silly. I mean the Fantastic Four. You know, Sandman and his wife, the Invisible Woman, her brother the Human Torch, and his best friend the Thing. Fan: But what happened to Reed Richards? Me: He never existed. You'd know this if you had read my recent story in Avengers. It's the same story where the Scarlet Witch and her husband, Quicksilver, gave birth to the legion of Visions. Fan: Isn't Quicksilver her brother? Me: Wow. You are behind. Ever since the Portal to the Portal of Endless Portals closed, Sue and Johnny are the only brother and sister left on the planet. Fan: What? What about Northstar and Aurora? Me: What do the married lesbian co-leaders of the Defenders have to do with anything. Stick to the subject.
See, I'm perfectly qualified to work for current Marvel.

I can't say that the popularity bothers me. If anything, I love having people realize that I was right all along. What I don't like, however, is when people claim to be comic book fans because they love the movies. No, you are a super-hero movie fan and there's nothing wrong with that but leave the comic book bandwagon for those of us who actually read the books.

Conversely, we could also pick the 3 we would like the least for sharing a planetoid with. I´m gonna go with the Sub-Mariner, Sersi and US Agent. Interesting. I certainly agree with USAgent being an excellent choice. I'm in agreement on that one. Therefore my picks are: Moondragon USAgent Dr. Druid I don't think I could take it.

Interesting question and especially hard to keep down to only 3. Not sure how useful powers are because if we are the only ones there, fighting skills would be irrelevant. That makes a lot of itcome down to personality for me. I actually have to say my male/female groupings would be a bit different than Humanbelly's. I've never mentioned the fact that I'm gay here because it was never important but it would be in this scenario. That makes Living Lightning my first choice since Northstar isn't an Avengers and Wiccan and Hulking are way too young. My best picks for female companionship that I think I'd really enjoy would be She-Hulk, Wasp, and Hell-cat but I don't think any of them would be happy with just Miguel and I guess that makes it Wasp and Hawkeye. I love Janet and she and Clint have a history so that should work out. Besides, he would be awfully handy to have around for hunting and LL would be great to get fires started to cook what he caught. I won't be sexist enough to say Jan would do the cooking though. That could me my job since I have no powers and besides, I don't think I'd want to eat anything she cooked. Being a spoiled heiress, I doubt she can boil water. She can be our leader.
So, there you have it: Living Lightning Wasp Hawkeye

RAGE JACK OF HEARTS LIONHEART (ooo-- how cute if they were to become Sweethearts, eh?) SANDMAN (back as a reformed criminal again) JOCASTA Jim Hammond-- the ORIGINAL HUMAN TORCH (hmm-- him & Jocasta??) and. . . CENTURY (from Force Works) Okay, all I would do is replace Century with Hell-cat and I'm all over this book. As I've said before, I love the character and thought she was great in the Defenders. She wasn't so much mishandled in the Avengers as just never given a chance. Not letting her join initially made sense since she needed more training but then, once she got the training, she was just forgotten. Century, on the other hand held absolutely no appeal for me. Maybe not as bad as Sentry but close.

If I watch this film (IF), it'll be when it drops down onto pay-for-view. I'm opting for the REDBOX option.....I'm not paying more than $2 to be disappointed, ha-ha! I ACTUALLY didn't think the first two FF movies were THAT bad, (the THING should have looked rockier, taller, more massive in general).....the characterizations (esp. Silver Surfer) were OK..... EXCEPT DR DOOM was wrong, wrong , wrong!!!!!!!!! That slick, Americanized DOOM just ruined it for me! He even cracked jokes in the first FF movie!?!?! Didn't ANYONE read a comic book with Dr Doom in it before attempting to make a FF movie?!?!? SHEEESH! I too MOSTLY enjoyed the other 2 movies. I think they did a good job with the actual team. If they hadn't screwed up Dr. Doom and Galactus so badly, they would have been excellent. However, those screw ups were pretty massive.

I take it that's supposed to be Jen reading the Wall Street Journal whilst wearing fuzzy pink slippers too. Hahaha. Y'know, looking over the list of titles in that ad, I don't recall Machine Man having his own series. And what is Spidey Super Stories? Spidey super stories was a kid's book based on the Electric Company skits. I tried to load an example video but had trouble. You should go to Youtube and look them up. If a narrator voice happens to sound like Morgan Freeman, it is. Electric Company is where he got his start. He was mostly known as a character named Easy Reader. The book was actually a little more sophisticated and actually used the villains from the comics rather than the hokey was Electric Company made up but was still clearly aimed at young kids.

Regarding some of the SW tie-ins (SPOILERS of course) : A police procedural/detective noir story starring alternate versions of Thor sounds preposterous but man, if Jason Aaron and Chris Sprouse haven't turned Thors into one of the most interesting of the tie-ins. You have Ultimate Thor, Beta Ray Thor, Stormborn (Storm of X-Men), Rune Thor, Destroyer Thor (yes, THAT Destroyer), Throg, Odin, even Groot Thor (I am Thor!). Ultimate Thor and Beta Ray Thor, partners in the Hall of Homicide, are assigned the important case of solving an apparent serial killing, 5 dead women across 5 different kingdoms. The case becomes more intriguing when it's discovered the 5 dead women are all the same woman, Jane Foster. The situation turns deadly though when Ray is killed while searching for leads, Thor Odinson appears (the only Thor to ever become unworthy) and what may a homeless, street-living Loki have to do with all this? This book reads like Law & Order: Valhalla Unit, very enjoyable. Spider-Man Renew Your Vows continues to be enjoyable as well. The exploration of 'With great power comes great responsibility' continues as Peter now believes his greatest responsibility is to protect his family at all costs, especially his daughter, who is now exhibiting her own powers, from the forces of the Regent. But when she is possibly detected at school (a beautiful misdirection here by Slott with a great guest appearance), Peter in street clothes races to save her, revealing that, in this domain bereft of heroes, Spider-Man still survives. Fearful of being hunted, MJ convinces Peter that the best way to protect his family is to be Spider-Man, handing him a black costume. Some really great story-telling here from Slott. While I have yet to read the main Spider-Island story, the Spider-Island tie-in was fun. Flash Thompson Venom leads a rebellion against the Spider-Queen in infected Manhattan. It doesn't help that Spidey is dead and the majority of the Avengers are now infected (Spider-Cap leads the Queen's forces). With the help of the Vision and Jessica Drew, Flash enacts a plan inspired by Jack Russell, the Werewolf by Night. During the day, Jack is an infected spider slave. At night with a full moon though, his curse takes over, turning him into his normal free werewolf self, who works with Flash in the rebellion. Flash has been collecting certain items, the moonstone of Man-Wolf, Morbius' vampire serum and the lizard serum of Curt Conners and uses them to free Cap, Carol Danvers and the Hulk from their spider-influence. So yes, Cap is now Man-Wolf, Carol is a living vampire, and you have a Lizard Hulk! A wonderful fun twist as Flash now hopes to use his new Monster Squad in destroying the Spider-Queens' reign. But the real reason I picked this up was the back-up story of Spider-Girl by her creator team of DeFalco and Frenz. Within the span of 10 pages, we see the after-effects of Spider-Universe on Mayday Parker, from her social life to her family life to her superhero life, where a new threat appears. It's an old-school Marvel approach to story-telling that still works beautifully when handled by a pro such as DeFalco. Bendis should take notes. I know you said this was enjoyable but just reading this synopsis made my head spin to the point of vertigo.

Okay, spoilers will come but I'll give a warning before getting there.
Let me just say that I apologize to Marvel Studios. I had serious doubts about this movie, some of which I've expressed here. However, I loved it. I can't wait for the next one or for the next appearance of Ant-man in another movie. Dare I say it, the movie was ASTONISHING
If only I could have reason to offer this kind of apology to Marvel Comics.
Now - SPOILERS------Stop here if you haven't seen the movie---- Seriously
I am especially happy to be filled with new hope that we will not only see the Wasp in a future film, but possibly even Janet herself. I hated Secret Invasion and her "death" but am thrilled that her death in the movie is so similar. It seems so obvious that Jan is alive and in the Microverse and will be rescued at a later date. I also loved seeing her brief appearance in the flashback. It may have been small but the original Wasp DID appear in a Marvel movie and looked awesome. Finally, the costume after the credits being shown to Hope was great. I don't mind so much seeing her become the new Wasp. I just hated the idea that Hope was going to be the Wasp and Janet wasn't going to exist or just be dead. Yes, she's "dead" but she was the Wasp first and is likely not really gone.
Aside from the Wasp aspect, I thought all of the performances were great and the use of Scott's family and friends (Especially those hilarious friends) added tons to the movie. I had no idea the Falcon was going to appear but it was the perfect Avenger for Ant-man to fight. I especially loved the "No way Cap finds out about this."
