I’m going to be honest: I don’t care about these characters at all, and nothing anyone says will convince me otherwise. I picked up this issue solely for the Hank Pym stuff, because after all these years, someone has to do him right for once; this book managed it just fine – everything about Pym and his desperate struggle to reinvent himself over the years is fascinating to read. Then you get the standard superhero fare with these Avengers recruits, and while the idea of them is interesting, they’re bland, two-dimensional characters who serve no real purpose outside this book. I’m all for that, too, it’s just not something I want to read.
