The Mighty Avengers #1

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.

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.

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

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

Reading it now. 🙂

I <3 Carol Danvers.

when will we ever see the original avengers back led by cap once again.

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.

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.

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

Robert Reynold's mind has been wiped. he doesn't remember anything about the first time he was a superhero.

when did this happen? was it in his recent mini? because in New Avengers he regains his memories at the end of the sentry arc.

That "Collective" guy is on their team now as well.

😉

I'm a bit confused over the whole Xorn ordeal? The Collective was acting through Xorns influence even before Magneto became involved? Wha? 😐

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

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 [for whatever reason,] and chose michael. when michael got to genosha, xorn tried to switch hosts, which caused some rather weird shit to happen [michael retained powers, magneto was apparently repowered, zombies,] 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 [a villain from sentry's past,] 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).

Hope the erratic weather has something to do with Thor.

Thats the first thing that came to my mind as I was reading the issue.
I want Ares to turn on them and kill most of them(I like Black Widow so she gets to live).

Naa...in New Avengers they brought it back and in the newest Sentry mini they commented on it.

Bingo

Sentry in Silent War seems incredibly competent.

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