Father's little spiel I found interesting, sets up a very interesting sci-fi angle to this book. I look forward to learning more about how exactly the adaptoids evolved to their current state - they seem incredibly powerful.TRobbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-70703448500586203902012-03-14T09:45:54.583-04:002012-03-14T09:45:54.583-04:00I was surprised that they revealed so much about V...I was surprised that they revealed so much about Venom's new status quo -- given that "Venom" #13.4 or #14 weren't even on the stands when this issue was published -- and then never used him. Are we not going to see the "Project: Rebirth" folks again? Is there still a kill button? We started this series with this whole mythology attached to it, and I felt like it was super weird that we just discarded that completely only a year or so into the run...and in another book!JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18384937330661711685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-38284469979014453732012-03-03T00:30:53.239-05:002012-03-03T00:30:53.239-05:00Hmm, good point, TRobb...

A team superhero book SHOULD look flashy and bright(to really highlight the heroes and their powers), while a book like Cap, Daredevil, and especially Winter Soldier should have a more gritty, gruff look to it. Although, since I guess(maybe?) Marvel wants the Secret Avengers to be more of a covert/spy team, that's why the art is more reminiscent to Winter Soldier than Avengers... Or at least that would be my best guess.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-44956787370994860242012-03-02T17:41:51.533-05:002012-03-02T17:41:51.533-05:00So far I've enjoyed the writing in this series...So far I've enjoyed the writing in this series, but I really dislike the art. It's got that whole neo-retro look present in a lot of the Captain America books, and to me it really detracts from the storytelling. It works better in say, Winter Soldier, for example, because you are reading about spy drama and action. The grittiness of the visuals matches the gritty and dark feel of the stories. However, for a superhero book it just looks off, and has the effect of diminishing how cool the heroes and their powers are.<br /><br />Any thoughts?TRobbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-55535382866432319812012-02-28T00:50:50.582-05:002012-02-28T00:50:50.582-05:00I definitely could have misread the Pym-Beast-Ultr...I definitely could have misread the Pym-Beast-Ultron line(I've had A LOT of reviews to get through this week, and haven't paid as much attention to certain books as I could have). I def got the playful banter vibe in the beginning, and I really enjoyed it because that is a great representation of Hank and Hank's relationship. They have a pretty cool, playful relationship. But idk, Beast pulling out the Ultron card just seemed cruel, not funny... I mean I know <strong>I</strong> wouldn't make Ultron jokes around Pym, especially considering how much Pym blames himself for many of Ultron's actions. In a way it would have been like Pym throwing in Beast's face his failure at trying to cure the Legacy Virus.x-man75https://www.blogger.com/profile/10292719455945603075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-25140670663276280772012-02-27T09:38:54.324-05:002012-02-27T09:38:54.324-05:00merits*merits*cap von trappnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8091466292216433701.post-63304386728314312122012-02-27T09:38:22.780-05:002012-02-27T09:38:22.780-05:00I enjoyed this issue.

I felt that beast was more making a playful joke about the ultron thing, specifically because he was putting up his own meits against pym's with the whole better scientist thing... Which is awful because of what ultron was and did. But i didn't think of it as a jab. Maybe i should re-read it. Also, someone mentioned it, but stone-faced cap telling flash that Jim killed Hitler had me cracking up.
