Discussion for Avengers Vol 3 Issue 1 (First Half)

[garrideb.livejournal.com]

Scans of this half of the issue can be found here on my LJ if you need to refresh your memory or weren't able to obtain a copy of the trade. Please don't comment there - come back here for that!

Under the cut are some discussion points, but feel free to talk about anything that struck you while reading.

• Of vital importance: Jan's two new costumes! Would Tim Gunn approve?


• The writer obviously put thought into which Avengers were introduced though the mass attack at the beginning, using some lesser-known Avengers to make it diverse. How many of them did you know? Did any stand out?


• Early volume 3 uses news reports as an in-story way of giving background. Do you prefer this to recap pages?


• Tony seems on edge when we first see him. Is it because he can't have hot tea through a straw?


• How do you feel about Thor's font? His facial hair?


• A narration box on the last page reads, Captain America speaks normally - not once raising his voice above a pleasant, firm baritone. But even so, his words stir the others - What would you most like to hear Cap recite?

On Thursday we'll have more to talk about, as the second half of this issue contains exposition and fight scenes galore. You can read it here.

It's pretty terrible. THOR SHOULD NOT HAVE TWO LAZY EYES.
