Who are the new Mighty Avengers?

September 30th, 2008 Robert Posted in Comic Books, Dark Reign, Marvel Comics, Secret Invasion 2 Comments »

Who are the new Mighty Avengers?

As mentioned and its being pimped out on CBR and Newsarama, the great Dan Slott will be leaving Avengers: Initiative to go and write The Mighty Avengers. Dan Slott’s run on Avengers: Initiative has been wonderful and I think Chris Gage will do a fine run in his absence on Avengers: Initiative.

On discussion about The Mighty Avengers, Dan Slott mentioned this…
http://www.newsarama.com/comics/090828-SlottAvengers.html

Yeah. No Gilgamesh, no Death Cry — we’re talkin’ good characters. But the guys we don’t have on the roster — there will be guest appearances. But if we get to use Hank for three or four issues, I don’t want to just use Hank. I want to use Hank and Simon. If I get guest stars, I don’t just want Beast. I want Wonder Man and Beast for two or three issues.

This made me very happy to hear. Thank-you Dan Slott! Actually having Avengers in an Avengers book, who would have thought. I am so excited about this…

So it makes me wonder who else will be joining the Mighty Avengers. Some thoughts — Tigra joining the team so she doesn’t get stuffed in a fridge by Bendis!, U.S. Agent comes back from Canada, Ronin joins, Moon Knight comes back to being an Avenger and from the Secret Black Ops Initiative team, Mutant Zero joins just to get closer to Wolverine who I am betting remains on New Avengers.

An interesting thing that on the Marvel site, they have a Mighty ‘Vengers team link which leads to a page that has not been “approved” yet. Hmm…

Are you excited about The Mighty Avengers by Dan Slott?

Rant: Bendis NOT Showing the Love

Rant: Bendis NOT Showing the Love for Doctor Strange

… for Doctor Strange and other characters!

Okay you know what bugs the shit outta me? The fact that recently I have put Bendis! in that same area with Warren Ellis, kinda over there —–> where I do not plan on buying their stuff unless they WOW the flying f****k outta me. That said, I do think that both are good writers and I lean more towards Ellis of late then Bendis! That said the recent words from Bendis! after this weekend’s Baltimore Comic-Con have me thinking that someone like Bendis is getting his wires crossed. Here are the posts on CBR for reference:

Okay now that you have read those pages, let me rant on…

Marvel Solits for Dec ‘08 & BtS NEW Messed Up Warvel Solits!

Marvel Solits for Dec ‘08 & BtS Warvel Solits!

Marvel Solits on Newsarama:

CBR:
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=18060

Marvel Solits for Dec ‘08 are here and as I await news of a huge rumored Vancouver Canucks trade, I thought I would put up these solits. Oh yeah, I am working as well but I mean Spider Monkeys could do my work with feces covered fingers all the while playing Facebook D’n D like me.

I know William S. will be avoiding these posts like the plague but some hi-lights are the upcoming Spider-Man & X-Men Noir which had those B&W posters a while ago you may have seen (I never pimped them out on BtS). I think William S. would be interested in Spiderman Noir with the 1933 setting of this “out-of-cannon” book. Also all the upcoming Dark Reign books are “classified” much like Marvel did for Civil War to add intrigue and not “spoil” too much. I guess this is a way to get fans hyped for more Bendis crap. *shrugs*

I do like the upcoming Spider-Man run by Dan Slott toyfuly entitled “Harry Osborn and the Chamber of Secrets”. I like seeing Red Hulk getting some loving from the Women of Marvel, always a good thing with Spider-Woman flying on in — get some of that Skrull Queen action Rulk! I do like the homage to Evil Dead in the upcoming Marvel Zombies #3 cover but that’s about it, I am a Zombie Hater. I wonder which Porn Star in in the upcoming Marvel Spotlight: Secret Invasion Aftermath cover? The Golden Age Sentry kicks it British music style. Oh and December is What If? Month with the likes of Doctor Doom getting the Infinity Gauntlet and Captain America winning Civil War *yawn*. Oh and lastly the Marvel Cosmic stories continue with fun of the third Summers brother Vulcan, Emperor of the Shi’Ar Empire, starting building his empire with the rest of Universe in X-Men: Kingbreaker.

With the Dr. Doom cover exposed, I am now guessing that “Dark Reign” and “Embrace Change” means the heros lose and the Skrulls win. Oh to add some “depth” to this post so its NOT just a solits post, I decided to make a new feature here — The FIRST Special Messed Up Between the Staples Warvel Solits, check it out after the click below…
