Short-lived and underappreciated Marvel Comics

G3k came along during a time when movie hype was at an all time high and the main Guardians book was less than stellar. I had already read some of Jim Valentino's guardians from the 90's, so this was pretty fun.

Kathryn Immonen made me fall in love with Sif. That's what good writing does, makes you care about these characters.

Galactic guardians! Marvel spent a year setting this team up in gotg. They get a try out mini and that's it.

I will always bring up Slingers in these type of threads.

Slingers remains my favorite team book to this day, and I was stoked to see them brought back in the recent Scarlet Spider series.

Honestly, I love finding the hidden gems that Marvel has produced and forgotten over the years. Off the top of my head, here are some series I wish had lasted longer:

Dr. Voodoo
CB & MI:13
Livewires
Bishop: the Last X-Man
Weirdworld
Craptacular B-Sides
Avengers: the Initiative
Agents of Atlas (original team)
Agents of Wakanda

-Pav, who couldn't believe when AoW used the Livewires...

Very much enjoyed this run and I wish it would have lasted longer.

The roster wasn't perfect, but I thought the premise of the book was. Ultimate problems require ultimate solutions.

Avengers Academy had a solid run, but they should revive it and include all the characters from other short-lived books about younger characters: Young Allies, New Warriors (2014), U.S.Avengers, Unstoppable Wasp, Kate Bishop's West Coast Avengers, etc

Make it a compliment to Champions.

Now this is pick up

Loved that book. I got a thing for books that focus on the usually 2nd of 3rd string characters.

This one was probably never intended to go further then it did...but loved the Asgardians of The Galaxy.

Who was in the destroyer armor again?

I thought this Comic was Amazing, Espically the first serveral issues! The Artwork was great and the inking was vivid and the Writer Ewing has become one of my favorite currant writters at Marvel, this Series being a big help for that!

Have love/hate rship with this one Writing as A+ but the art was awful especially Susnpot/Citizen X being whitewash for 90 % & the roster was awful overall imo.

Can’t agree more....

To be fair...it was a limited series and Suzy just did not get any traction. Personally I liked her and would like to see her (and her boyfriend Justice) brought back in an Avengers book.

Kid Loki

Plus the lost generation.

Is the Lost Generation canon and are any of them still alive?

I loved the MC2 universe. I loved pretty much every title. But my favorite was J2 Zane Yuma the son of Juggernaut. I remember reading this series when it came out while I was on break at the drug store I worked at. I would go to the magazine rack and take it to the break room I know the character story line was pretty much a rip off of early Spiderman comics. Zane Yuma being bullied at school. But his bully loved his super hero alter ego.

The cover for my favorite issue. It told the story of J2 one on one fight with The Hulk when The next Avengers fought the original Defenders.
