CCW 2.142: Pet Avengers & Dark Young Avengers #1 Reviews

[Pinkhamsterino]

I read the Pet Avengers book, and can see how it was a welcome break from Dark Avengers for you guys (I don't read that), but I wasn't that excited by these Pets. Lockheed's drama about Kitty being dead felt melodramatic and didn't connect with me because these characters are dying and being resurrected all the time, I can't keep track. Death doesn't mean much to me in a Marvel comic. Sure, it was light and breezy, but at the end I didn't feel like my day had been improved by having read it.

[comicculturewarrior]

I feel bad that Pet Avengers couldn't brighten up your day a little. Now I'm feelin kinda depressed.

I guess I just needed the Falcon's falcon to try to eat Throg.

[comicculturewarrior]

Or to call Ms. Lion a whore.

J.

[Pinkhamsterino]

or a "he-bitch"

[comicculturewarrior]

or a f'n c*nt and then rip Ms. Lion's head off.

[Pinkhamsterino]

hey now!  that would be ultimatum

4:08 LOLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

yeah that Pet Avengers looks like its done very well.. i think Marvel knows about this type of style of comics that I for one enjoy - but it seems as though people are still getting a ZinG out of this Soap Opra stuff for the mean while. (personally i like this type -mixed with some gritt - but gritt in the action, not the language. )

so stupid the way they are expanding the M.U> by making everyhting the same but a second generation....errrr

[deemar325]

Manly Maahn..man..man..Maahn...

[Nkerklaan]

This sounds like one of those surprise seems-like-a-joke-but-is-actua­lly-a-great-fun-book like Marvel Apes was for me last year. I'll probably pick it up.

[deemar325]

Jose hit it on the head with the team dynamics it just dawned on me who each pet is supposed to be like.

[deemar325]

Just read it it was beyond my expectations, but why the brotha gotta be a damn frog?

[usedbymyusername]

And here I thought the Illuminati each had an infinity gem...

[pobra17]

wow, i didn't think anybody bought Pet Avengers, and to hear that it was actually good is even more shocking. Speaking of shocking, how terrible was BFTC #3! I purposely bought that piece of dog vomit just so i could revel in Jose's thrashing of one of the worst comics I've read all year. You had better make it worth my $3.99! I'm sure you will, can't wait.

[J1994M]

I know why did they kill Bruce! It makes no sense! It's like killing off Spider-Man and replacing him with daredevil or something! Batman is Bruce Wayne not a circus acrobat!

[pobra17]

you know, I was pretty pissed that they killed Bruce too (though I'm sure he wont be gone for too long), but the real problem with BFTC is Tony Daniel. Because when you think about it, this situation is almost an exact rip-off of what marvel did with Cap. Only difference is that Brubaker was writing Cap and he made it work, where as Daniel just gave us three shitty issues to impose a new Batman. Hopefully the Batman titles wont be as bad as this until Bruce returns.

[pobra17]

and if they are, oh well! At least we have Batman and Robin starting next month, which I have very high hopes for.

[johnnyhorror92182]

Quit your bitchn'

[comicculturewarrior]

Are you talking to pobra, johnny? Because the way I see it he actually bought a copy of the comic so I think he has every right to bitch about what a fucking piece of shit it was. It's not like he's just talking out of his ass without reading it.

Needless to say you probably will think I'm bitching in my review of it next week.

J.

[johnnyhorror92182]

I did buy it, Jose. Look, i'm just tired of everyone bitching about Batman, ok.

[locusmortis]

People are not bitching about batman, people are bitching about Battle for the Cowl and what a horrible book it its, and it is a terrible book imo.

I for one am looking forward to Gotham City Sirens, Detective Comics and Morrison and Quitely on Batman and Robin in the next few months.

[johnnyhorror92182]

whatever......

[locusmortis]

has someone replaced you with a pod person or something?

and to give me a negative mark for expressing my opinion is pretty lousy.

[comicculturewarrior]

I'm not bitching about Batman. I'm bitching about editorial and fucking Tony Daniel. I hated the ending of R.I.P. and I hate everything about Battle for the Cowl (which doesn't even have Batman in it!).

That being said, I've already come out and said I am really looking forward to most of the Bat family books that are coming out next month just like locus stated.

Batman is completely being shit on by DC and I think that's who you should be frustrated with. Just my opinion though.

J.

[locusmortis]

Isn't bruce alive in a cave in the stone age? At least thats what I thought the last pages of final crisis were about anyway.

[comicculturewarrior]

I will try to do you proud pobra.

J.

[pobra17]

thanks Jose.

[deemar325]

Dude if & when this book goes to trade I'm buying it and passing it along to my kid (When he learns to read) This & Marvel's Wizard of Oz simply excellent great for kids.

[locusmortis]

Totally agree with you.

Fin Fang Four Returns was great as well, Roger Langridges cartoony style really fits the stories so well.

You should check out Dark Reigning Cats and Dogs by Chris Eliopoulos and I think Brad Anderson as well....it reminded me a lot of comics like the Beano and the Dandy that we have here.

[deemar325]

Definately will

[BlackPhoenix06]

I'm glad you guys brought Mr. Cornell. Did you hear that CB&MI13 has been cancelled as of issue 16?

[dukealoops1993]

actually it cancelled at issue 15

[BlackPhoenix06]

I stand corrected.

[deemar325]

Still pissed about it :-(

[comicculturewarrior]

Me too.

>:I

J.

[deemar325]

We should put together a team of misfits of our own and beat down the doors of Mahr-Vul because wes Maaahn...Maahn...Man...Man..Ma­ahn...

[QZ7]

I'm not sure all the Dark Young Avengers have that 'scene' idea, it seems only this Coat of Arms character does. She looks like she has some sort of scheme up her multiple sleeves

[QZ7]

I've enjoyed Dark Avengers and Pet Avengers. Comic's are big enough for both the live. Just waiting on a cross over

[MarvelBoy117]

great stuff guys can you review War of kings and gaurdians ?

[pmknight12]

now if they could just work out a crossover with streaky,bat-hound and krypto!!!

k.o.

[variantgirl17]

wow, I thought I was only one of the people that liked this:P I thought it was awesome, I have to put it on my blog review, I'm so far behind...blah. Glad to see you guys review it ...so much fun to read. Bought a copy for a younger cousin.

[mguy1977]

It was Firestar's dog not Aunt May's on the cartoon.

Matthew

[comicculturewarrior]

Ya but in this book Ms. Lion is Aunt May's dog.

J.

[mguy1977]

cool i will check this book out

Matthew

[saar1707]

another Marvel Apes like series...

[weshensley2004]

hey there watched where you were talking about horror movies and behind the mask was an awesome movie and smartly done. Its nice to see a horror movie nicely done and not a rehash or crappy teen movie or remake that does not need to be done.

[comicculturewarrior]

They just announced that the same writer and director are working on a sequel weshensley. I am looking forward to it.

J.

[generaldark]

[johnnyhorror92182]

Jose, Elliott, have a great Memorial Day weekend Holiday!
