Avengerspalooza #1--I Guess Tigra Didn't Get The Memo

For this and all posts today, SPOILER ALERT for Siege and the 95 Avengers titles released Wednesday...SPOILERS start after the Avengers logo...


Welcome to the Heroic Age--after Osborn's been put down, and the Hood has been captured:


Yes, "we're so popular I could kill you right now and no one would punish us, and hell they'd probably help me" is the epitome of heroic, ain't it?? That code is precisely what the Heroic Age is all about, eh, Joe Quesada?

Off to a grand start there, Marvel.

From Avengers Initiative #35.

Quote Of The Week 1--Enter The Asgardian Dragon

From Avengers Initiative #32, written by Christos Gage:

I have to admit...I never thought of it that way before. Thor as the "Bruce Lee of Asgard."

Of course, if "most Asgardians are only about as tough as Spider-Man," that sorta kinda belies the premise of Siege, wherein Volstagg "would not know the effect his power would have unleashed upon mortals." I mean, Spider-Man couldn't blow up Soldier Field, even on a good day.

Still, the thought of Thor in Fists Of Fury has me smiling...

Homework

OK, loyal readers, each and every one of you is expected to use this phrase in actual conversation this weekend:

Oh, all right, the "I'll kill you" is optional.

This quote is extra great because is comes from Arthur Nagan, former head of the Headmen, a scientist who managed to get his head transplanted onto the body of a gorilla (hence, the name Gorilla-Man):

You know, that really wouldn't be so bad, because then you could go around naked all the time, and people couldn't say anything, because if they said "Hey, you're naked," you could just gesture at yourself and say, "Dude, gorilla body" and they'd have to give you that one, so you could just keep on keepin' on...

I've just said too much, haven't I?

Anyway, use the phrase. You'll be glad you did.

Quote of the week comes from Avengers Initiative #27, by Christos Gage and Rafa Sandoval and Roger Bonet, which really ticks me off because every time I get ready to drop the title they come out with a GREAT issue like this one so I have to keep reading it. Sigh...
