And I shall write too much dialogue, far far too much of it, just repeating what I just said, meandering about, constantly going round and round (and round) in circles, until no-one will speak anything but sentences far too long, thereby sending everyone to sleep, which will mean I shall RULE THE WORLD (of course!)!<br /><br />MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA :DNagashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317832910354675201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-75039300194284314592010-06-09T00:16:26.999-04:002010-06-09T00:16:26.999-04:00I'm SO glad you brought up that spread Marc, b...I'm SO glad you brought up that spread Marc, because that was the point in this comic that the dislogue began to raise my hackles! I REALLY enjoyed the quick bit with the kid Avengers and Immortus, but that spread was the beginning of the end for me... I do agree with you when you say that it could have been A LOT worse, especially considering the fact that this was BENDISvengers book. Since I'd been giving New Avengers scores below 5, a 7 is REALLY good for a BENDISvengers comic(I LOVE that term!)<br /><br />Hey, you know what Jozeph, I completely agree with you for once! Wolverine was written WAY too kind and gentle here. He's not even that friendly with most of his X-teammates!<br /><br />That was BRILLIANT Nagash! And it's SO true! BENDIS just can't seem to help himself... Just like every single hokey super-villain out there! And yeah, I'd forgotten that JRjr was doing the art in this book, so when I saw his name on the cover, it goes without saying that I was thrilled.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-27182261352674264562010-06-08T12:50:37.372-04:002010-06-08T12:50:37.372-04:00I sorta read this one - I flicked through it at th...I sorta read this one - I flicked through it at the shop when it came out, and passed on it. Got Agents of Atlas though, which I'm not sure was a wise move. We'll see how that one pans out.<br /><br />I don't know whether there's a point in me reading this new Avengers. I'm not a fan of Steve, Thor, Wolverine or, um, can't remember who else was in this already >.<<br />Don't mind Hawkeye, Spider-Woman, Sider-Man, but apart from that, well, erm...<br /><br />And it'll always be typical BENDIS dialogue, he'll never stop his over-extended dialoguing. Or monologing (he is a villain after all ;)).<br /><br />JRJ on art is always a plus thoughNagashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00317832910354675201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-53486062940014449292010-06-08T08:06:39.163-04:002010-06-08T08:06:39.163-04:00I agree with you, the dialog was pretty bad, but B...I agree with you, the dialog was pretty bad, but Bendis did a great job of capturing the characters voices, Spiderman sounded like Spiderman, Capt.

But I've seen tons of people complaining about Spider-Man in this issue, so I must be in the minority on this one.<br /><br />I agree about a lot of the other dialogue (especially the Wolverine/Spider-Woman thing and that stupid spread showing all the people Steve tried to recruit), although when you put it in the context of the typical Bendis comic, it could have been a lot worse. That, combined with art by JRJr and maybe just the novelty of having the "classic" Avengers back together fighting a "classic" villain, actually made me kind of a fan of this issue. 7 out of 10 is definitely fair, probably what I'd give it too.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10558378521891430225noreply@blogger.com
