   First issue of this was really good, now we can finally see the Assault happen.

   Not to thrilled with the AoA back up though. The last one was almost unreadable.

   I jumped on with the one shot at the beginning of the month… can’t say I was impressed, but I already pre-ordered this issue, so oh well.  Maybe I’ll like it better now that I know what to expect.

   I admit, I’m not inspired by having a bunch of overexposed characters foisted onto this book, nor was I that much inspired by the one-shot. We’ll see how this goes. 

   @slockhart I actually didn’t think Assault on New Olympus was that great an example of the series. Felt very dull and lifeless. Also, many people are expecting Deadpool-level comedy from this book which isn’t true. It’s humorous but it’s also well crafted and well researched writing.

   Soild issue all around. Art by Buchemi was a bit off, but it wasn’t a deal breaker.

   I’m loving this idea that Cho might become the new Hercules. That would be huge of Pak/Lente were able to do it. Plus I love the Mighty Avengers in this and the Greek Mythology used. There was a shit load of the latter within this.

   Hmmm, maybe it’s just not for me.  At least unlike other books I’ve tried and decided not to keep buying, I can at least see why people would like this.

   I’m apparently not a fan of this storyline. It felt like a chore to read it, a little wordy and slightly off-pace. The art was blah, but got the job done. 3/5 for me. My renewed enthusiasm for this title is fading fast. Not good.

   @Prax: You said that before but you still stuck with it!

   On second read, the art is still a little iffy and I do agree it’s kinda wordy. But I’m still enjoying it very much so. Pak/Lente keeps updating greek mythology brilliantly and they do have a great take on the Mighty Avengers. Pym, Quicksliver, and USAgent were great to read in this.

   Hopefully the art gets better next issue.
