Avengers Prime #2: Complete That Thought!

Avengers Prime #2 hit the shelves today. I just want to highlight some subtext.

In this issue of Avengers Prime, Tony, Thor, and Steve go off on their own adventures. In Steve's, he makes out with an Empathic Chick Who Reminds Him Of Wanda. Yeah, I know. But before he does, he says:

Steve: I just -- I didn't do enough for [Wanda]. I couldn't help her when she needed help. And now I -- I'm getting a chance at life. A third chance really and I - I think I maybe he making the same mistakes again. I'm fighting with my brothers when I feel nothing but love and respect for them. I stand my ground on principle when all I really want to do is -- Um, why am I pouring myself out like this?

Non!Wanda: That would be my doing, mortal. I am empathic. Don't be ashamed of your true feelings. They are quite beautiful.


So... What does Steve really want to do?

...Tony gets beaten while Steve gets the girl. Oh yay. *facepalm* If Tony wasn't half-naked, sweating and bound, I would look away. (Thank you, Alan Davis. Shirtless, slightly fuzzy Tony? Unf. ...No, I don't just read comics for the eye candy!)

(Control your urges, Steve. You got your trigger-happy girlfriend and that weird relationship of yours waiting for you at home)

Great issue. The ending was a shocker (Hela's headpiece looks like really weird sideburns). o_o Never expected that. Can't wait for the next issue, but I guess I have to.
