Bio: My first forray into comics was the last issue of West Coast Avengers featuring the death of Mockingbird. After losing touch for a while and finding joy in japanese material, i came back into comics early in 2004 and quickly returned to be an opinionated fanboy complaining about creators(cough cough Jeph Loeb) ruining my favorite books. I'm a hardcore Marvel Zombie with ties to the X-Universe and i occasionally dabble in DC through the Teen Titans, Green Lantern and Flash titles.

Its good to see Thor back in the Avengers books and not just a guest star and Bendis writes some nice dialogue
If Bendis wants to really write the two on a team book he has New Avengers which they've clearly carved a niche in, i just personally wanted a clean break of a book built on the strength of the Avengers on the cover rather then built on Spiderman and Wolverine popularity, thats all i'm saying. I personally have no problem with Spiderman as an Avenger because it was something that was a long time coming, but Steve pointing out spiderman for responsibility still irks me to this day and i still day and Wolverine talking to Jessica Drew about earning her place on the avengers sounds weird coming from a guy who murders people for a living and never seems to answer to anything he ever does. I've just never seen Wolverine as an avenger an no type of justification outside of Wolverine deciding not to kill people with his claws anymore and abandoning the X-men will make me see that
I care because honestly, this whole Wolverine as an Avenger thing has been purely marketing and never been like...Wolverine deserves it the role. I mean i have issues of X-Force where he is blatantly tearing people to shreds and issues of his own book where he is doing less then heroic deeds just because he can. I got over it when he was a member of New Avengers because that was a completely different animal entirely but this is supposed to be a classic Avengers book and Wolverine is thrown in. Plus Steven's rational for the team really falls falt when he descripes Spiderwoman as Savy.....
Sorry if this comes off as venting, i overall like the issue just Wolverine and Spidey's inclusion sort of soured my enjoyment. I'm hoping that thanks to the Age of Heroes one shot Captain Britain joins the team and Spiderman and Wolverine get replaced with like Marvel Boy, She-Hulk or another female character.
But this is only the first issue and hopefully Bendis decides to write best on good story and merit outside of popularity and marketing. I love JR JR on most stuff but his Ironman has always been atrocious because bar a few cosmetic changes he always draws the same armor which varies wildly in design during the book
Nice review, i think doug's been taken off the board for another mission in future issues thats why he didn't go with the X-Club which looks like its going to be taken off the board next.
Even with a changed context it is still honestly a weird thing for the character to say considering characters who have spent more time with Kurt are just standing there. If someone like Dazzler had said it would have made more sense, she was one of the x-characters not involved in messiah complex would have none of the real blind faith alot of the others have have of hope and was close enough to Nightcrawler for it to pull on my heartstrings.
