Discussion for Avengers Vol 3 Issue 3

[garrideb.livejournal.com]

This wraps up the first story arc of Avengers volume 3! Find scans here. At the end I included the letter page, which has fan reactions to the first issue, and Stan's Soapbox, which has some speculation about the Iron Man movie. From 1998.

Need to catch up?
Issue 1 part 1 scans are here and discussion is here.
Issue 1 part 2 scans are here and discussion is here.
Issue 2 scans are here and discussion is here.


So, the Avengers have entered a new era with an adventure that managed to incorporate nearly all of them. What were the highlights? Best lines? Things you would have liked to see? Things that disappointed you?

Any Yeoman America/Iron Knight plot bunnies?

The letter page prints two fan letters concerning the first issue. Do you like letter pages in your comic books? Do you prefer them to be included or dropped from trade collections? Have you ever written a letter to Marvel?

This is the last post for this read-along, so feel free to discuss anything that struck you while reading this story. And thanks for joining me in exploring one of my favorite Avengers adventures!

'Bltch' is an awesome sound effect.

I love that Jan sits on Steve's shoulder. That's totally the best part of her powers. Also, apologising for zapping Hank in the face, she's so adorable. I hadn't read much of Jan before this besides as a supporting character in fanfic. She's really starting to grow on me.

I really noticed the poses on the flying/jumping/flung people, they feel real to me.

'Bltch' sounds like wet mud to me. What was it used for here? *is too lazy to check*

Jan is one of those characters who I sometimes adore and sometimes find annoying, but I pretty much always love her on this run.

When Morgan squishes the guard's head on page four. :D
