So, this is comic genious? Superheroes standing around talkn', watching tv, and then trying to runaway when danger comes there way?

Are these the Avengers, or the Great Lakes Avengers? They're a bunch of Fuck-Up's! And they shouldn't be because all of them are seasoned heroes!

What I really hated abou the book was the inflection dialouge during the fight. Spider-Man fighting Dr Daemonicus all the while he's complaining to himself. What the Hell? This is classic Spidey? Him being a whiny bitch

I've come to the conclusion that Bendis loves the sound of his own voice within the writing of characters, he's like a demented Jeff Goldbloom obesed with the minutia of verbose conversation about squat.

Jokers! They just wan to see a fight. Kids don't buy comics anymore...CRASH! BAM! WH-KOOM! Dont cut it no more. 80's babies are ther last gen of comic buyer/readers. Kids watch cut-scenes in games and get annoyed!!!

[LordBifford]

Comic books stories are all too often excuses to draw superhumans fighting each other.

Loved the Greg Horn rant. The covers by that guy are such pathetic attempts to seduce sexually frustrated fanboys out of their money... No real artistry present.

Seriously, Jose, tell us how you really feel. I hate when you hold back. Just let loose bro. lol

And thanks alot El. You just gave Bendis a reason to do a Capt. Marvel spotlight issue featuring the Shazam-wow cape. Good job.

Dude that is it in a nutshell

[locusmortis]

Just thinking about Osborn and this whole this whole "brand new day...er sorry...Dark Reign"....but isn't Osborn pretty much playing the same character as Tony Stark did for 2 years?...except with worse hair....

I mean he's got Stark Industries, HAMMER aka SHIELD and he's even wearing an Iron Man costume.....the marvel universe hasn't changed...its just the illusion of change...which indicates that either bendis is making a point about the nature of politics....or is just lazy...hmmm...

[locusmortis]

INDEED!

[locusmortis]

Gotta disagree here, 10 pages of talking heads does not an Avengers comic make.

Bendis's dialogue on Powers is great because its a police procedural and he's got the voice of the characters. His dialogue on the Avengers has this forced wittiness where every character starts to sound the same.

The Avengers in NA 50 almost seems to have a hive mind where they were having run on sentances and finishing each others sentances. With all the jibber jabber it felt like a pretty lacklustre issue

[locusmortis]

David Aja's art was probably the best thing about NA 50, I'd probably trade wait DD though, Brubakers story moves pretty slowly so picking up a single issue is probably pointless.

[BlackPhoenix06]

You know what's worse? The fights end only promises yet ANOTHER confrontation between the Hood and The NA since nothing of consequence happens! Damn. This books sucks ass at the moment.
