Okay I looked through the book and I will admit that it wasn't bad, but it wasn't the Avengers if this book had been called the Defenders I so would've bought it. I just can't justify these people as Avengers and I can't see Cap condoning their actions.

Probably gonna beat a dead horse here but how can you have several of these characters in the book and not be considered overused? I am wondering just how many books Spider-man will not be in. Dont get me wrong, I like Spidey..but come on.
On a different note I did pick up the first issue ( sorry Lash) only because I wanted to see the original Spider Woman back in action.

Well, having both Spider-Man and Spider-Woman on the team at the same time is almost like having Ant-Man and the Wasp... almost

Yes, there were one-shots with Spider-man, Hulk, X-Men and FF which happened in between the mini-series and the Finale One shot. All of them are in the TPB.

Well, after thinking that Dissassembled was nearly as bad as the Austen run (nothing can ever be that bad), I was wondering if I was going to pick the new series up or not.
I don't like Wolverine, I've never been a big fan of Spider-man (even though I enjoy Ultimate) and I hate the fact most of my favorite Avengers are out of the book.
However, I was quite happily surprise with the first issue. Apart from two useless splash pages, the pace is really good and the story sounds promising.
However, to me, it's "Marvel Team-up" or "Marvel Knights", it's not the Avengers

I like the Pulse article of how it "Sold Out". In more ways than one. Also wondering if it will outsell Busiek/Perez's #1.
As Pariscub knows I was all for a shake up. Namely getting rid of the dysfunctional Avengers family members Pym, Wasp, Wonder Man, Vision, and Scarlet Witch. Atleast breaking it up a bit. The connections between some of these characters was just getting old and hurting the title IMO.
But I was hoping for the return of Thor, possibly Namor? Black Knight? Wouldn't have minded Sentry joining either. And while I love Spidey...he is in a ton of titles. I would've enjoyed him. But Wolvie?! Total sellout.
Also I know many (including Paris) love Jessica Drew. I am all for the new guys. hate when retired heroes return when another hero has taken their place. I love legacy characters. Rebirth? ick. Ohwell my rant is over. I will return to the Avengers once the Avengers return. My guess is after Bendis is gone so wil the "New".
Plus the Avengers are kicking ass in the Ultimates. I LOVE the Ultimates.

Jorge, I'm hoping that when Thor returns in his own title that he'll eventually make it back to the Avengers. You're right that he belongs with the team. And while I like Jan and Hank, I can't say I'll especially miss them.
I also like Jessica Drew, and since Bendis once planned a series based on her it's a sure bet that he likes the character.
I also love the Ultimates. I often feel like they're the Avengers-done-right. Ultimate Cap is way better, and I truly enjoy this spin on Thor. Even Ultimate Wasp is more interesting.

ferroboy, gotta agree with the Ultimates. Cap is way too politically correct anyways...the Ultimate Cap seems more american Ultimate Wasp is much more interesting. Ultimate Thor KICKS ASS. Man, I am a big fan of classic Thor but this nature loving hippee with a hammer! Now that is an interesting character. Same with Cap IMO he's a democrat that would make you swallow your teeth if you don't open the door for a girl. The original versions seem to be have become a bit static. I honestly think the new Thor series may be in the Ultimate universe.

Sorry guys. Been having issues hot linking to Pop Culture Shock. Also can't seem to even get into Silver Bullet Comic Books. It keeps crashing my browser. I'll get the link to the site these originated at when I can.
