Avengers Comic Review

Well it's been a long trip but I finally finished all the Avengers comics in my collection. Dating back as far as 1981 there were some memorable moments:

 Get a load of Spiderman's comment about his fellow team mate "Starfox" and his "Love touches" Not surprising to see Starfox and his love touches have been quietly buried in Avengers history.
 Well said Beast!
 Look at these lovely Kree guards playing Gin while waiting to take over the Earth...cause you know, that's what alien races love doing to kill their spare time.
I LOVE how the Avengers membership card not only comes with a live video feed but a handy dandy calculator as well! (I'm guessing to calculate tips?!)


Darn skippy Captain Marvel! If Trump had been in charge of this party, he would have made this comic great again!

 What's great about this is that they never reveal what was going on in the next panel. Gotta love it!
 Hey Hawkeye! What's that you're reading? That "H" on his head must stand for "Horndog"

Overall, this comic series was extremely boring. ZERO character development. The heroes kept changing every 6 issues due to things going on in their own series which were never revealed but mentioned at the bottom of the page "Check out Iron Man #222 to see what Tony means!)

They just brought these characters together to sell comics. Nothing was that heartfelt or impactful. They constantly rotated A-listers with D-Listers because they thought the comic would sell regardless. Though it was evident when sales lagged because one (or more) of the Big Heroes would step back in to sell more comics!

Even when Bendis took over the series later on it wasn't that much better. Shockingly I place this series among the worst ones I've read so far. Don't bother wasting your time reading them.
