March 11, 2010 10:40 pm So far the reaction to these new characters has been pretty mild.  I'd like to hear from those that aren't interested in this book to say which teacher(s) would make it interesting enough to buy.  Hank Pym?  Nick Fury?  Steve Rogers?

March 10, 2010 12:40 am Any word or guesses as to who will be running the academy?  I like structure so hopefully the Avengers Academy will be an actual institution in the Marvel U for some time to come, regardless if whether the series continues or not.

Going back to the first image for a sec, it just dawned on me that no one is guessing Daredevil.  That would totally rock but now I think I'm just starting to see the team members I really want. 

 These ink blot teasers are maddening!

@abirdseysview - That's a fair point.  But I was talking about Marvel's creative direction, not the motivations of Taskmaster or Venom or whatever other classic Marvel villain.  Still, I've liked Marvel these past seven years for the darker turn and how the super-heroes were rooted a bit more in realism.  If the Heroic Age goes to far in the other direction of the super-hero spectrum, I think I'm going to be disappointed.

@ Everyone guessing Taskmaster, Sentry, and Green Goblin...don't forget that this is kicking off Marvel's HEROIC AGE!  I doubt that means they're turning their entire stable of heroes in Thunderbolts type books. 

My choices are still

#1 Spider-Man

#2 Doctor Strange (the cowl could be hidden in the sillhoutte and the redemption quote fits nicely.

#3 Jessica Jones!  

February 9, 2010 2:45 pm I say Doctor Strange for the second image.  To me the first one is obviously Spidey.

February 2, 2010 2:05 pm Great pick!  This is one of the few sentimental titles for me where I've been passively trying to collect the entire run in floppies.  I'll definitely be picking up the trade to lend out to friends. 

January 29, 2010 10:15 am I buy my comics in Duluth, Minnesota and our comics come from Plattsburgh.  That distribution center covers a lot of area.

Interesting.  I would question the wisdom of releasing a movie adaptation two years after the movie was released and five months before that movie's sequel is out.  It would have been really nice to see Peter David do an original story instead.

 Bah, what do I know. 

January 25, 2010 2:50 pm Soooo, is this a movie adaptation...of the first Iron Man movie?  Poor synopsis.
