Not seven issues. Seven titles. From an economic standpoint I understand it, but from a reader on a fixed income (in a field that the asshat tea partiers are actually trying to legislate out of existance- libraries? who needs 'em? everyone has a kindle and a computer and if you don't why should I pay for you to read books. But I digress.) I just gave up. When you start to resent aspects of a hobby, best to cut loose before you turn that inward. <br />Sorry to ramble, but I'm with you, Mr. I.Ray Sablacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252129938551938631.post-13731690989209811382012-02-23T10:09:25.508-05:002012-02-23T10:09:25.508-05:00I left the Avengers for good and stopped reading t...I left the Avengers for good and stopped reading them after George Perez left in the mid seventies. I read Avengers on and off for a few years later. My whole comic book addiction came to an end in 1986 when I got out of college and had to make a real living. The last good books, I felt were revalent to my generation were: Dark Knight, Batman:Year One, Crisis on Infinate Earths...got the slipcase Alex Ross cover edition and last but not least the original Watchmen. <br /><br />Back to the subject of Avengers, the last Avengers story I read was JLA/Avengers by with the art by George Perez. That team up concluded the whole saga, at least to me. All of the new material I see out there I can't relate to any more. It's a clone of a clone of older stories from the past. <br /><br /><br />If I were in charge I'd have a next generation approach to the characters. Let them get married, and have offspring that would take over for the new generation of Avengers.<br /><br /><br />I don't know how many fans will agree with me but I am going to take the price of what I'd take to see the new Ghost Rider movie, the new Spidey and Avengers movies and donate it to Gary Freidrich,the creator of Ghost Rider.Late Night Ferenginoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252129938551938631.post-14554179078242264002012-02-23T06:45:35.628-05:002012-02-23T06:45:35.628-05:00Mighty Avengers lost all direction after Secret In...Mighty Avengers lost all direction after Secret Invasion. Dan Slott writes a certain style, and does it well, but its a style that hasn't suited the Avengers since about 1984. One of the worst runs on a flagship book in recent memory, although it was soon matched by James Robinson's slow murder of Justice League of America v2 (in my opinion).<br />Glad you're feeling better. <br />Just grow the beard, and then existential hair questions won't matter<br />Cheers from Australia<br />DarrynDarryn Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900631686816871848noreply@blogger.com
