I love these both so much!

The first one is an expanded group with the WCA members and some FF and Moondragon too, who I am glad to see included.

The second one reminds me of when the Collector was mysteriously abducting various Avengers and allies.

I had that Treasury Edition as a kid, and the back cover Kirby illustration of the marching Avengers including both Giant-Man and Yellowjacket confused the hell out of me. Always great to see Kirby draw the Avengers, though.

Whoa! Every character looks great and powerful!

Wasp looks very strong and beautiful, Yellowjacket has huge arms and Moondragon made an appearance!

But was Moondragon even in the issue? Perhaps that should have been Quicksilver since this appears to be early Avengers? Maybe it was an error? After all, Pietro had a green costume back then as well, lol.

That's from 1975. The stories reprinted in that issue were from 1968-1970, so Moondragon and Beast aren't in the actual stories (Heather didn't exist yet - debuted 1972 - and Hank was still an X-Man). The art shows the then-current roster, which didn't include Quicksilver. Beast and Moondragon in fact had both become regulars in the book just a few issues prior.

Except.......Giant-Man and Yellowjacket were one and the same, Hank Pym (not Hawkeye), so Giant-Man in red should not have been on the back cover as he was Yellowjacket at that point and, in one of the stories in the book, "Come on in, The Revolution's fine!" did indeed include Quicksilver (Avengers #83) in his new silvery costume. It would have been nice to see Pietro drawn with the team.

I forget, is Jarvis at Avengers Mountain?

[Gaastra]

Ah, there is no beating George Perez. And great inks by Gene Day.

Love the little touches like wasp catching the falling cup and beast reading upside down.

I forget, is Jarvis at Avengers Mountain?

He's not. He's at the Mansion. The Avengers aren't using it as their HQ right now, but it still needs maintenance.

[Tony Stark]

Anybody get or read today's issue of Avengers?

The new Starbrand is now my least favorite character.

LOL. You mind explaining why?

[Nomads1]

The new Starbrand is now my least favorite character.

That' quite a statement in a run this bad and with so many crappy characters.

Peace

Avengers versus Serpent Society might be fun, but I'm not going to get high expectations.

LOL. You mind explaining why?

She's too ridiculous and unlikeable.

Let's not forget that Cap used to take them out singlehandedly, but now they're gonna take on the WHOLE Avengers. Call me cynical, but I smell shite comming.

Issue #52 was passable. Forever #1 was meh.

I can't take this mixing and swapping of characters seriously. Can't wait until Aaron leaves.
