Maybe a George Lucas-esque re-run? Everything's been reset and tweaked, but there's no guarantee you're ever going to get your favorite episode or storylines again. Not that interested.<br /><br />And in my opinion, it's not so much change as it is the illusion of change. When I read the Avengers growing up, it was one of my favorites, because something was always happening with Hawkeye, or the Vision & Scarlet Witch, or Giant-Yellow-Ant-Man. The villains were just as interesting. Things happened! But now - the same titles have Wolverine, Spiderman, Captain America and every heavy hitter of the Marvel capes (including Xmen and FF incredulously). You KNOW nothing's going to advance for those charaters. (And you also know the ending before it happens... heroes win). When an appearance by Squirrel-Girl has the most impact on continuity it's pretty sad. I actually dropped the Avengers from my pull list because of this nonsense (well, and I was tired of Bendis). <br /><br />This has all been pretty similar to the last time I commented. Sorry about that. Unfortunately, the cape comics are even more stagnant.baroquen131 / Robnoreply@blogger.com
