New Avengers # 32 Review

I remember complaining about how slow New Avengers moved for me and some of my comic reading friends would tell me that's just a different way of writing. To give it time and the it reads better as a trade. But you know what? If it takes one whole issue to tell a story about the Avengers on ("Fuck you! I'm getting in the plane"....George Carlin) a plane? Fuck that type of storytelling. This is a comic book and I know there are different types of comics out there. But with a title with the word Avengers in it, you figure the characters would be doing a little more than sitting on their asses playing the blame game.
Does BMB think the readers are fucking stupid? Last issue we found out that Elektra was a Skrull. So of course any reader would be asking themselves: Who else is a Skrull? What is their purpose? Hey is my fellow Avenger a Skrull? And it takes one whole fucking issue for these street smart Avengers to ask the same questions the readers are asking. Except Wolverine never acknowledged he has already been impersonated by a Skrull during his time as Death. The plane crashes and Spider-woman takes the Elektra/Skrull body to Iron-man, because Bendis, much like us thinks that Iron-Man could be a Skrull. One issue for 3 bucks gets me less satisfaction than over 1000 blogs that have done the same thing, better.
Yu is really the man for any job. You can put him on any book and he can make a cruddy book better. I guess that's why they teamed him up with Bendis on dull stories such as this one. Bendis really kills the momentum he built up with the cliffhanger in last month's issue. Well at least they weren't eating donuts and having coffee time, it could always be worse. C-
Well, to be fair, that's why I'm writing Mighty Avengers too. If you're the type of fan who skips the confusing word bubbles and wants a 6-issue-long fight scene that's the one for you!
I have no problem with Mighty Avengers. I give that book nothing but praises...well for the most part. This book from the beginning just seemed to be dragging and it seemed forever before we got the team together. However, it did shape up after Civil War. This issue however could have been told in just a few pages.
I enjoyed the book and I'm a huge of fan of your work Mr. Bendis. Wish you could write all the Marvel comics like Dini is doing with Countdown.
Omar, you actually got Bendis to reply to your review? AWESOME! Hi Mr. Bendis, remember me, your old pal Spider-Ben. I was the super nerd at Wizard World Chicago 2005! (Bet that narrows it down)
Anyways, I really dig New Avengers and Mighty Avengers. Great stuff. I love all your work!
Just a heads up, do you still have the fan mail package I sent you back in 2005? You know, the one with 2 DVD covers and a House of M sketchbook? I'd really enjoy getting them back sometime, even though I know you are ultra busy and all.
Well done Omar, you got Bendis to reply to your review!
Mr. Bendis, you just totally rock!
Spider-Ben! I remember you. GET A FUCKING LIFE! Spider-Man isn't real! Get some help!
Dude I don't give a fuck whether your Bendis or not, get fucking bent dude. Ben is a comic fan and is thus as entitled to his geeky tendencies as the rest of us.
You wanna bust on him or me for having comics and enjoying them, you best fucking bring it, otherwise shut the fuck up and go back to the rock you climbed out of you fucking troll.
Nice try, but you are no Brian Michael Bendis. First off, when I met Bendis he was simply thrilled to meet such a hard core fan. He signed all my stuff and posed for a picture. He treated all his fans with respect and admiration for supporting his work.
Secondly, there were 58,000 people or more at Chicago that year. Do you really think Bendis remembered one lone comic fan from Ky? Whatever, if Bendis did remember me he would have replied to my e-mails.
Third, there is a very nasty comment in the Chris' Harry Potter review. Is it coincidence that someone is trying to be negative in more than one post on this board? Whatever, sounds like we have another Dennis trying to cause trouble and stir shit. That won't fly here, this is Omar and Dan's site.
Finally, thanks Nick. But don't take this very personal, this isn't Bendis.
I know, I just hate cowardly a-holes that lurk and make derogatory comments cause they are veiled behind the anonymity of the web.
If people are gonna be throwing insults so be it, least have the balls to use your real name.
This books sucked ass. I don't what the fuck is going on with the comments from BMB, well at least the second one pretending to be someone. The booked sucked ass, you sir are a hack. Go fuck yourself. And Spider-ben, it's cool Spider-man is real. He has to be. :)
