“Generally, one knows me before hating me” -Quicksilver
What really caught my eye was Cap genuinely being impressed by how well this particular set of characters was already working so well as a team when they hadn’t even really known each other as a group before. That made me wonder if there might be some future plan for this group (mini? Ongoing? Occasionss asl appearances in main book?) I’m all for it if that’s the case.

Some neat things here and there like tony getting effected by morgans spell and not snapping out of it as he loves the knight era so much and does not snap out of it and a fast scene of him upset over killing yellowjacket but later commenting "some of the avengers are dead" while looking right at the picture of the avenger he killed. That was awkward but as the back up story kind of put it "it wasn't really the current tony but the original who killed them".Haven’t read the run in a long while (I need to rectify that), but my primary memory of Iron Man was him recognizing some red flags with Carol, helping her acknowledge that she had a problem, and then really stepping up to help her through recovery.
This tony is teen tony from an alt universe aged up by franklin with classic tonys memories and the original died a traitor. Something kind of ignored today by marvel! So, it wasn't really his fault. That is some great storytelling even if it was a really short one in fact that whole back up story with jarvis answering avengers questions and ending with "is falcon a mutant" gag was the perfect way to end that issue.
I'm assuming the sort-of unannounced second Avengers book will have most, if not all, of Cap's ad hoc team. The solicit released for #16 says: " PLUS: What’s next for the Avengers Emergency Response team?".
Maybe a kind of 2024 version of the Rogers' led Secret Avengers from from the Heroic Age period, with this group as the core? Various events pop up, Cap's team gets activated, he brings in other members to assist, depending on the situation?
It would make sense to have them continue to appear somewhere.
One thing that caught my attention is that Villa took the time to redesign Hercules and possibly Kate (not sure because many of her costumes are similar). That's a level of effort that they usually don't make for short appearances like this tie-in.
It would make sense for there to be a second Avengers title(or third) with a group of younger heroes being led by Cap. He gets to instill the Avengers legacy and values into the next generation.
As much as I liked New Teen Titans and George's run on Wonder Woman when he was still penciling and writing, it's his run on Avengers that I cherish the most. He also had a great run on JLA, but it's kinda short in comparison to his other projects. Oh, and that purple Wasp outfit -- loved it -- along with the new Wonder Man costume that debuted in the same issue. Shame both were very short-term.Originally Posted by K7P5V;6808702
You're welcome. But yeah, [B
Yes, despite all the ongoings over at his book, which led him to occasionally be absent from the team, Tony was the only founding Avenger and Big 3 to be an active member during all of Busiek's run. He sported a few different armors, was often the deputy leader of the team, and some times was around soley as Tony Stark, but I think he managed to get more panel time then any other Avenger during that run.
Peace
I think that kind of team would be perfect. Remember, the y had Avengers Initiative and Avengers Academy so this kind of book would work fine. They had a Secret Avengers team led by Cap and that was outside of the usual Avengers usual M.O. and that was widely accepted. Cap would work great as an inspiration and mentor for the next generation of heroes.
I think the most optimal line-up would be something similar to the Busiek run, where you had a bunch of established Avengers and then Justice and Firestar. I don't mind the "training young heroes" idea being an element of the team, but there are so many established Avengers characters, even if they're B or C-listers, who I'd much rather see fill the ranks of a new team than a bunch of young heroes with little-to-no Avengers history.
"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
