You get a more real Marvel universe with heroes that have faults, and, you see how even though they have faults, they still get things done. The MU basically hasn’t changed with their superheroes on mission. It just says plug along anyway, even if things don’t go your way.

I don’t know the solution to getting a country prepared for war if their world is in relative peace.
    That's a good way to look at it, and yeah, good point there as well.

    Agreed. I find that the event would have worked better with each of the Squadron issues being a mock one-shot (possibly with a fake issue number to go along with the theme), while the event followed Blade navigating through this world to assemble the Avengers. The way that they’ve done it just feels lazy and like they didn’t have any real story that would fill these issues and as such they relegated all the actual story progression to these back-ups at the end of each issue.

    I find it difficult to believe that this stuff really appeals to anyone. Is this the current state of comics today?

    Thanks to Deadpool, yes, she does know how violent Zarda and the rest of the Squadron are. It prompted her to rename her Young Squadron team to their mainstream counterparts' name, the Champions, at the end of their one-shot.

    This is one of those events where the tie-ins overshadow the actual event itself.

    Such as, IMHO, Gage and Slott's Avengers, the Innitiative really kicked Bendis' Secret Invasion's ass.

    Peace

    She sounds like an Aaron Asgardian lady.

    Is this how he would actually write Wonder Woman?

    Have to say I don't care much for this writing. Does every "godlike" character nowaday have to have an overdone ol' Hercules personality?

    I was tired of it with the Asgardians by the end of his Thor run.

    But Aaron like his hedonistic, hard-drinking, warrior types.

    I have to remind myself that this is a lampoon and not a serious take on a Wonder Woman homage. That said, people are spending real money on this tripe. Somehow I expect more from Marvel for their hard-earned dollars.

    Well given how Aaron’s been writing She-Hulk, really not surprising that his Zarda would also be brutish. It’s just that with her, it’s hidden under a traditional beautiful exterior.

    Isn't this how he writes women in general lol?

    Honestly just looking at the contrast between his She-Hulk and the way Al Ewing writes her, it's like night and day. In one issue of Immortal Hulk Ewing gave Jen more character and depth than Aaron did in the 40+ issues of Avengers.

    Is Jane Foster (who he wrote in his Thor run) the only woman he knows how to write, or what?
