98. Mighty Avengers vol 1 (2) #1 ... Frank Cho ...


Okay. Why I put vol 1 (2) is that during the original run of the Avengers, at one time, they had the title The Mighty Avengers ... so I am not sure who qualifies for which and hence this ... but this series came at the height of popularity when Bendis made the Avengers reach the top of the charts and kick out everyone else including Spidey/ Batz/ Mutants

So what do you do?

You do a spin-off. When this was launched, it was supposed to give you the powerhouse members of the Avengers as the first team had become more and more "street" with people like Luke Cage. So as the cover shows, we have Iron Man, Sentry, Wonder Man, Ms Marvel, Ares and ... Black Widow (and tiny Wasp). Naturally one have to wonder (no pun intended) why they included Ares as he is not the strongest or most intelligent in that set. So what can he offer them?

Hmm ...

For artist, they chose the guy who is famous for his curvalicious babes, Frank Cho. I know he has many fans but sad to say, I am not one of them because I find his babes have huge chunky thighs (sorry, mate) and to me it screams of cellulite! Hahahahaha!

For this tale, it's basically a formation of the team and going out to kick some major bad guy ass. However, the most important is the villain coming up in issue 2 and this is but a foreshadow of the next. Also as the cover says INITIATIVE ie part of the Marvel U world structure after Civil War and this is the group that supports Iron Man's registration of powers

Ratings: 6/10
