It pretty much sucked balls ... anyone disagree?


erm

Skeets
I do!

I didn't read it..leftright

Black Adam
meh. has another second issue to wow me otherwise I'll stick to the Initiative book.

Hercules
I've not read it yet.

Scoobless
The art isn't great, the writing is mediocre, the random monster fight is pretty dull, Wonder Man forgets he can fly for the first half of the comic, Sentry is a clumsy fool, etc, etc .... about the only character getting any respect is Ares.

I heard Ares was in it, I thought the team line up was a little brick heavy, what with Wonderman, Sentry and Ares all in the line up, did that come over in the book?

Scoobless
They (Iron Man & Ms Marvel) discussed it, decided not to go for an uber-brick team, then somehow ended up with one anyway.

Why did they say Sentry was new to this and inexperienced? They basically compared him to a Young Avenger, except he was actually the first superhero and in the mini stated to be the greatest

Yeah I was like What the f**k? with whole Wonderman thing too

At the begining it seemed like he couldn't fly since he got a ride from sentry and then at the end o the book he flew and charged at that dragon thing.
Justice #10 > Mighty Avengers #1 yes

Martian_mind
Because in actual fact Sentry is an over hyped peice of garbage who should have been left o die and burn in a gutter.

Still better then Wasp though.

Darth Vicious
I for one liked the artwork besides that, I wasnt impressed, it was a "meh" of a fisrt issue. Ares shouldve kicked their asses! They shouldve brought someone more threathening that the freaking Mole Man and Ultron is now a woman.

King_Mungi
I hope Omega Flight blows them out of the water in the first issue.

The Mole Man is what smurfs hoes call him......not remotely threatening....

Well he does seem to have forgotten pretty much everything.

"Mighty" Avengers:

Sentry = Flying Brick, some energy powers
Wonder Man = Flying Brick
Ms Marvel = Flying Brick with energy blasting/absorbing abilities
Ares = Non-flying brick
Iron Man = Fairly versitile (but still brick-ish)
Wasp = Good for stealth
Black Widow = Brought her own gun so they let her onto the team

Now that Ultron seems to be back (again) I suppose having a brick team could be useful ... until they realise that they can't break him (her) and it'll be up to Iron Man to save the day again (as usual).

I enjoyed it.

Scoobless
Hope the erratic weather has something to do with Thor.

Lucid Lui
I'd probably have enjoyed it more if it had indeed... "sucked balls".


Ok, now that that's out of the way.

I liked the use of thought bubbles, and i'd like to see that stick around. I liked the characterization for the most part.
Though Jenkins and Bendis really need to get together and sort out the Sentry deal. Since the NA Sentry arc, Bendis has been writing him with a completely clean slate with no one remembering him, and him only just getting the feel for superhero-ing again. Whereas Jenkins has written him as completely confident, taking lead, the people loving him etc. etc. It's kinda stupid.

I liked the Ultron twist. The art's ok. So far it seems like the lineup could make for an interesting team.

So yeah. I liked it. It was a fun read.

Grimm22
I thought it was decent, but it really didn't live up to its potential

Cho's art seems not to fit with the book and the plot honestly makes no sense

We have no idea what the hell the mole man has to do with Ultron or what Ultron has to do with the whether or wtf happened to Iron Man at the end of the issue.

That and it seemed like Bendis has no idea how to write thought bubbles. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see them return to comics, but he writes them like speech bubbles, which is definitely not how they should be used.

Ares interested me the most.

I know Bendis said he would write Ares as being able to beat Thor but I think this is overkill. stick out tongue

I disagree with the art being bad. Cho made Leisure Suit Simon look decent. That's a big accomplishment IMO.

Mole Man is there because his underground world has been destroyed and he thinks the surfacers are behind it. He has nothing to do with Ultron, he was just attacking the city. It's in the dialogue, plain as day. Likely destroyed by the same thing that's causing the disasters around the world.

And Tony only just turned into Ultron at the very end of the issue as a cliffhanger ending. Of course we're not gonna know why yet.

Having big long expose thought bubbles in the middle of conversations/fights, like they used to, made no sense cause that's not what people would be thinking about. Showing little short reactions that can't/wouldn't be voiced makes much more sense.


And i agree with Validus about Cho's Wondy. He's looking good.

HaHa Ares is the shit.

Cmon, did anyone really expected that Sentry`s stock wouldnt be lowered? No way writers would have a Galactus lvl guy on Earth.

The art is great. Cho great.

I'm a bit confused over the whole Xorn ordeal? The Collective was acting through Xorns influence even before Magneto became involved? Wha? no expression

As for Sentry's mind...why he go and get even with Masterminds daughters.

Disappear
i think bendis meant for xorn to be some sentient energy construct, much like sublime was a sentient disease, who wound up taking possession of the energy in the collective. he needed a vessel to get him to magneto and chose michael. when michael got to genosha, xorn tried to switch hosts, which caused some rather weird shit to happen but then xorn and the energy he was connected to got thrown into the sun. and then magneto sort of got killed but not really.

i haven't read the issue, so i don't know what you're talking about with the whole "mastermind's daughters" thing. but, the general used jason wyngarde to **** with the sentry's mind. that's pretty much all i know about it, and i believe that's really all there is to it.

That pretty much covers it. I think the poster refering to Mastermind's daughters meant that Mastermind's daughters could "fix" Sentry. I think Emma said that the "virus" had already done its damage but she removed it and restored his mind (at least somewhat).

I want Ares to turn on them and kill most of them(I like Black Widow so she gets to live).

Bingo

Sentry in Silent War seems incredibly competent.

Sentry in Mighty Avengers doesn't seem to have a clue how to act.

Validus
Robert Reynolds is no longer in the Sentry equation from what I understand. He's the Void and Sentry is just Sentry.

marvelprince
Thats not really right is it. I thought that there was Robert/Void and Robert/Sentry. Voibert was flung into the Sun and Robtry continued to exist. Remember after the Sentry mini ended we still saw Sentry as Robert in NA. He was in the fetal position when the team needed him to fight the Collective

ScarletSpider
Bad writing, and it's dissapointing that Bendis is on both Avengers books, because now there's no refuge to be found.

Out of character dialogue. Marvel's ****ed up Wonder Man for no reason and without explanation. Marvel's been trying to reinvigorate the Avengers property, and they messed it up instead.

marvelprince
Yup. I noticed the difference too between the two interprtations a while ago. Jenkins and others write Sentry as more strong and take charge but Bendis writes him as a follower and more of a tool imo. I know Bendis said he wanted to take the time to develop Sentry but methinks that time has passed. Just make him a badass already

H. S. 6
Sounds like Bendis dropped the ball big time on this issue.

I'll withhold my own opinion until I read it, though.

I enjoyed the issue alot. Felt more like the traditional Avengers but with new elements. Only things off were the comments regarding past Avengers seemed out of character and that Sentry was portrayed as child

Yeah, but I would like the Sentry thing to either be further hyped, or put to rest. Obviously we'll see the former, and I wouldn't mind to see him get a few more high-end feats

ScarletSpider
Yup. Only it's too bad that JMS is writing his new series. I don't know, maybe it won't be dissapointing, I really doubt that.

At least Oliver Coipel's illustrating it, so it'll be fun enough to look at.

My bad. I was thinking of the fact the Emma Frost is lecturing him about how he gets to start in the world, new, but that just refers to the fact that no one else remembers the sentry but the sentry himself.

Dwayne Mcduffie was to JLU as Paul Dini was to Batman TAS. Even with Hudlin breathing down his neck I trust the guy not to make BP a God.

i wouldnt be so hasty to jump to conlcusions cuz you might remember that on one of his "world tour" covers panther was fighting Namor..only to come to find out that no such thing happened inside the comic, in fact he had a nice peaceful argument free dicussion with him

Donkey Punch
I really, really enjoyed this issue. Bendis is on really good form at the moment. I like his pseudo apology for making Sentry looking like a wimp so far. With his impending fights against Black Bolt, and Ultron/Iron man, I think his rep is gonna gain a lot of respect. I love the introduction to Ares as well, although i don't like his current costume. I'm not sure about the line up though, an Eternal or Vision would be a nice alternative to Wonder man.

capt it up
it was decent I enjoyed the fact they explained why they picked certain people.


The sentry thing was a little annoying though acting as if at his best he will only become a thor ugg.

Last I check is not sentry supose to be a person who can defeat thor

Martian_mind
Marvel is hyping him up for one purpose.

They will give him a shit load of feats,power and ability and then have him lose to Hulk,hoping that people will uise ABC logic to come to the conclusion that Hulk would beat Supes.

Yes, because Marvel comic writers are far more concerned with power levels than good storytelling. roll eyes (sarcastic)

Well MAs may not be able to lift 100s of tons but are able to replicate huge amounts of damage through skill. For example DD was able to use pressure points to knock Mr Hyde out cold. Captain America was also able to make all of Giant Man's limbs go numb with one touch.

I really didn't think that the shield to the face hurt him much.

The thing with the Goblin was explained somewhere nicely though, that it wasn't just the lone pumpkin bomb that hurt Simon, but the fact the warehouse was filled with tons of other Atlantean weaponry.
