All Avengers Appreciation

[Digifiend]

Most of the major MCU heroes up to Ant-Man and the Wasp have new Marvel Studios 10th anniversary posters. Pretty much everyone except Captain Marvel, whose film is out after Wasp. The only other ones missing are the TV characters, some of the Asgardians, and Quicksilver.

Jason Aaron's Avengers got off to a good start in May, with the first issue selling 122,358 copies, and finishing fourth for the month. The second issue sold 66,646. The Avengers outsold the X-Men for the month.

How many "Essential" TPBs are available for purchase in-print now?

I started loving the Avengers with my first off the rack Avenger's comic; #115, when I was 8 years old. I bought every issue for about 10 years. I loved Cap, the BP, the Vision, and Yellow Jacket. I later grew to love the Beast as well. Wonder Man grew on me, though not a fan right off.

To me, these are the greatest years of the Avengers ever.

Fandom (wikia) recreated the cover of Avengers #1 using the MCU heroes.

Avengers #3 sold 59,572 copies in June and ranked #20 on the sales chart. It was beaten by the relaunched Justice League and X-Men Gold, but it did beat Star Wars and every other X-Men team book.

And so the competition between Snyder's Justice League and Aaron's Avengers begins .

I also find it kind of amusing that a wedding issue beat Avengers.

Avengers #173 Jul 1978
The Korvac Saga: Part 6 of 10 - "Threshold of Oblivion!"
Avengers are vanishing one after another with no end in sight! Is someone collecting super-heroes?
In an attempt to replenish the roster, Iron Man brings in the Black Panther, Black Widow, Hercules, and Captain Mar-Vell to help.

But to no avail as T'challa, the Scarlet Witch, Wonder Man, and Yellowjacket all disappear from the mansion next!
So the Avengers are down to their final four...Hawkeye, Iron Man, Thor, and the Wasp.

Is that going to be enough against an elder of the universe?

Meanwhile, Michael (aka Korvac) continues his preparations for conquering the cosmos.

Could that Avenger be Jean Grey? She's got two reasons to join: Namor, and Phoenix.

Could that Avenger be Jean Grey? She's got two reasons to join: Namor, and Phoenix.

Just a hunch but I don't think it's going to be Jean Grey. Then again, the fact that the Phoenix is part of the prehistoric Avengers may be a sign that she is.

They said Domino would be joining the Avengers. I think so, and hope she is accompanied by Diamondback so that she and Cap can have a reunion.

That was a fakeout - the panel previewed was actually from Dom's solo!
