Fist of teh Internets.
So #1 is out and it rocks!
If I had to compare it to a movie---it's not "rocks" as in the same term that Ultimates, Fables, Justice rocks....more along the lines of Runaways or New Avengers rocks.
I hope that made sense...........it probably didn't.
Anyways....there are a lot of team books out there. This being the new one might not register since several of you already have quite a few team books out there. But this is definitely worth getting.
Ok---it's a fact---Bendis on New Avengers rocked. Always did. It was the big popcorn comic of Marvel and it was good. A few issues were stellar---some weren't.....but at the end of an arc.....you could always recommend it to someone.
Well Mighty is no different. The premise is simple: The Initiative has placed a super group in each state.....but the WORLD will always need saving and will always need The Avengers. New Avengers are underground heroes who refuse to register. Mighty Avengers are a govt sanctioned superteam.
The first issue opens with the MA jumping into battle. This battle continues thru the whole issue. In between battle scenes...we jump back in time about 2 days ago and witness the interaction between Tony and Carol.
Tony tells Carol that while he will be on the team...he is to obusy running SHIELD to lead. So Carol is the MA team leader. We then get banter of them going back and forth debating on who needs to be on the team.
So then we cut back to battle...and in each 2-3 page battle splash we get brief highlights of each member in action. But then when we cut back to Tony/Carol....we see them reviewing the background of each member and why they should be on the team. To be quite honest....it's actually set-up and layed out very brilliantly.
I'm gonna say this with the utmost seriousness------this book even Wonder Man kicks ***. :neutral: <--- See? Serious Face.
I remember reading the preview for this a few months back in Wizard and it seemed as if Iron Man wasn't Tony. Well I guess they reworked the script a bit...because this is Tony............kinda.
At the end Iron Man starts to go on the fritz and we get this huge explosion. When the dust settles we see a naked female Ultron standing where Tony used to be.
Yeah....WTF indeed. :?
But even with this little "yeahbuwhat" moment---the book was an absolute blast.
5/5
Seriously......
