gmac Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 yeah I don't see the point in a "new" New Avengers, seems redundant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 yeah me too. It's pretty bankable IP though. There's an Avengers book 'missing' so far too. 4 books got canceled and only 3 have taken their place. Rumor has it that Gage will move from Avengers: The Initiative to a new book, Avengers Academy. Same idea but needs re-branding because The Initiative is clearly about to be shut down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Oh I understand the use of the Avengers brand, but they surely could have thought of a better name than New Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Didn't Bendis even say in an interview the other day "Plus the New Avengers have been around for 7 years now. They're not "new" anymore" Or something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 It should really be Marvel Knights or The Defenders. I do like that Avengers has been re-shaped in to a fully stocked 'house' like X-Men though. And personally, I find it a much more compelling one.

Dan_Dare Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Fuckin A. Millar is great fun to read. Not the most subtle guy but he's wickedly entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Although Robert Kirkman is my favourite writer, Mark Millar is my absolute idol. He really is. I love watching video interviews with him. He's so passionate, and he just completely "gets" the medium, and seems completely down to Earth. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReZourceman Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Why is the White Lantern Corps logo different between; Blackest Night #7 Final Page & Blackest Night #8 cover and Everywhere else (GL52, GLC....new issue) etc. Strange. PS I actually made a t-shirt if anyone wants it. In fact I think I did a fucking amazing job to be honest. I did it from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happenstance Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Not suprising really, New Avengers makes Marvel a lot of money so they'd want to keep Spidey and Wolverine on it. I would say it just means we get to read an Avengers book without them but I still quite enjoy New Avengers so it doesnt bother me too much.

Paj! Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Maybe New Avengers will be the similar/same roster as before, all the kinda "Marvel Knights" -esque ones, while Avengers has the "actual" avengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmac Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 yeah it's like "look here, it's the same lineup as before" hardly needs advertising for this so far, or even a renumbering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 So whos gonna be in the full line up then? Im thinking Cage, Spidey, Wolverine, Dr Strange, Spider Woman and maybe Hawkeye and Mockingbird. Probably turning it into a street level team so no heavy hitters. (I know Dr Strange is pretty powerful but you dont always see that with him and hes been with the team a lot recently) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
