Mighty Avengers Thus Far
I sat down yesterday and read Mighty Avengers #1-5 all at once, and it was a great read. I wasn’t sure going into MA how I was going to like it because, as a kid, I was never an Avengers fan. From the outset, this team felt more like a traditional Avengers team to me, and my interest in the Avengers started with the New Avengers.
Things I love about the series…
- Ms. Marvel. Marvel has been pushing her as the next big hero in the MU since House of M, and for my money, it’s working. My next IST order is going to have the first trade of her solo series on it.
- The character relationships. The heroes play off of each other well. Their personalities and powers complement well.
- The leadership tension. Carol is officially the leader, but Tony is one of the founding Avengers and the head of SHIELD. Wasp has led the Avengers before. Black Widow really knew how to take charge on the helicarrier. Who will really be in charge of the Mighty Avengers? Will they routinely question orders? Interesting dynamics here.
- The Sentry’s real chance. He feels like he fits in here better than he ever did in the old team. He is right in the thick of things and really has a chance to take off as a character.
Once the book gets back on schedule, I think I’m really going to enjoy the interplay between New Avengers and Mighty Avengers.
