All-New, All-Different New Avengers

[Cloudman]

Attention readership -- has anyone both obtained AND read their copy?

Do share for the kids in the back of the classroom who have another several hours to do the same?!

Yup! It's a reasonably strong issue.

spoilers:

American Kaiju gets sent to attack A.I.M. headquarters, A.I.M. deploy a giant robot (Avenger 5) in response, S.H.I.E.L.D. use this as an opportunity to step in and arrest the New Avengers in order to get their hands on the Whisperer.

end of spoilers

Feels like this book didn't have to tie in to Avengers Standoff, but it's still typically excellent work from Ewing so I can't complain.

I love the American Kaiju!!

[RLAAMJR.]

Despite my own aesthetic prejudices, I'm really enjoying this title.

Al Ewing is doing some really great stuff with subplots and character dynamics and he's keeping things fast and light and fun.

The Once and Future King plot has me ravenous for follow up.

Really hoping to see this group interact/crossover with the Ultimates -- and it would be swell to have Sam and Izzy guest appear at some point.

That['s great to know.

In All-New All-Different Avengers #0, SHIELD precog predicts the Avengers 5 shotgun scene with complete different characters, including Songbird, Hawkeye, Teddy, Squirrel Girls, and the shotgun line is split between Teddy and Doreen. Ewing can't plan everything, right, folks? hahahahhaah Marvel Event: 1, Al Ewing: 0.

Yes.

Yes. All the yes. Every single yes in existence.

Also, a nice Pod moment! I get a definite sense that Pod has feelings for Toni (who will have none of Bobby's patriarchal bullshit, as a fun aside). I'm hoping Toni feels the same. Because Pod deserves some happiness. She's such a sweetheart.
