Great Moments in Comics History: Avengers #2

The very first official meeting of The Avengers was crackling with sexual tension.

Comments

  1. This is so absurd. I love it.

  2. stuclach stuclach says:

    Is this from an issue of Herogasm?

  3. ohcaroline ohcaroline says:

    They really needed Cap to get them in line. 

  4. the thing is, all the things we praise Stan Lee for are encapsulated in this panel.

  5. drakedangerz drakedangerz says:

    Pym is not having any of this.

  6. muddi900 says:

    Hulk spin bottle! Hulk kiss puny Pym’s wife

  7. DarthDuck DarthDuck says:

    Off panel Jarvis is having a nervous breakdown – "Bring the bottle, don’t bring the bottle, bring the bottle, don’t bring the bottle."

  8. Bedhead Bedhead says:

    "You wouldn’t like me when I play the spin the bottle!"  

  9. Dan Dan says:

    Seven minutes in heaven with the Hulk? I’ll pass, thank you very much.

  10. Josh Flanagan josh (@jaflanagan) says:

    Not Kirby’s finest panel.

  11. verily, it beeth makeout time

  12. Jesse1125 Jesse1125 says:

    " OK, EFF, Marry, KIll…Pym you go first"

    Is that Iron Man’s latest, CB trucker Armor?

     

  13. zenman zenman says:

    Looks like it’s "Hammer Time" for Thor.

  14. siraim siraim says:

    What a reasonable and well spoken Hulk.

  15. stuclach stuclach says:

    @Josh – I bet he drew it in less than a minute. Sometimes quantity>quality.

  16. Josh Flanagan josh (@jaflanagan) says:

    I blame the inker!

  17. drakedangerz drakedangerz says:

    I don’t believe Iron Man could sit down in that old thing, let alone hunch over and cross his arms.  Shenanigans I say!

  18. Timmy Wood TimmyWood (@TimmyWood) says:

    "We get to know each other better, now if you got stuck on a desert island and could only bring one book what would it be?"

    "HULK NOT READ!"

  19. twooldridge twooldridge says:

    I feel bad for anyone who gets it from hulk.  SMASH!  That guy has got to be packin’

  20. Thor, get your hammer off the table! It’s bad manners!

  21. Dan Dan says:

    And that Marvel coloring?!?! Garish!!!

  22. Quentin Quentin says:

    Hank Pym’s secret ability…he can read thought balloons. Look at that face & body language, it’s written all over him, he’s pissed.

  23. siraim siraim says:

    @Quentin  reading her mind isn’t really a difficult task.. she’s always looking for ways to get slapped.

  24. PraxJarvin PraxJarvin says:

    Oh my… so bizarre. However, why do Hank and Janet seem to be wearing the same belt?

  25. Anville Anville says:

    @Praxjarvin – It’s all part of the continuing evolution of Hank Pym as a cross-dresser.

  26. Yeah this is pretty bad for a guy like Kirby.

    Love Pym crossing his arm and Janet being the worst character ever as usual. Also….is Thor kneeling? Cause the position his arms are in it certainly looks like it.

    Eh Kirby can have an off day.

  27. You’d think the first Avengers meeting would be more…well…epic than this

  28. BizDaddy BizDaddy says:

    @ TNC – I thinkhe’s sitting on a bench as well.  Which makes me woncer why the Avengers basically would be sitting at a chromed out picnic table.

  29. Anville Anville says:

    BizDaddy, you think the old-school Stark mansion furniture is going to hold the Hulk?  Tony obviously had to whip an adamantium patio set.

     

    I wonder what happened on the other "get-to-you" meeting?  Did they go bowling? Or maybe a pub crawl? No matter what, you can be sure the Hulk got into a fight.

  30. Neb Neb says:

    The Hulk speaking like he’s from Brooklyn?  Awesome.  

  31. Mangaman Mangaman says:

    Huh so I guess everyone back in the 60′s had dark horizontal lines for eyes? Interesting. . .

  32. rayclark rayclark says:

    awesome. love this

  33. Why does it look like Iron Man has a beer belly? He sits like I do at the dinner table!

    This would be a nice runner on showing bad artwork by legendary artists.

  34. Mangaman Mangaman says:

    @TheNextChampion: I thought that was how his gold armor was designed.

  35. mikeandzod21 mikeandzod21 says:

    and people complain the Bendis makes them sit around talking…

  36. Gabe Gabe says:

    She had it coming

  37. captbastrd captbastrd says:

    And people thought the Illuminati ‘talking about girls’ monent was out of character! Stark just loves to have deep talks while sitting around a table! He just wants friendship!

    @siraim & TimmyWood
    I laughed aloud at your Hulk comments.

  38. Unoob Unoob says:

    You would think there would be a nicer board room in the mansion. And Benches!?!?! Where are the big comfy leather chairs?

  39. Unoob Unoob says:

    And I love the sky blue painted floor that just meets with the white sheetrock walls. "Molding? We have no need of molding!"

  40. Crippler Crippler says:

    I have to presume that the panel before had someone – Thor? – suggesting just such a thing.  Clearly then the next panel would read: " Verily then, it shall be truth or dare!  "

  41. awkward!

     

  42. Unoob Unoob says:

    "How come Hulk always Big Blind? Hulk Dealing."

  43. I wonder if that antenna Iron Man has picks up any good radio stations?

    "Reasoning with Hulk is like trying to have a conversation with a coffee table. It’s just not gonna happen."

  44. Bebop Bebop says:

    Awesome!

  45. pppiquer pppiquer says:

    this looks more like fanfic than actual comicbooks XD
