I know this is probably dangerously close to setting off some kind of bomb, but…. As much as I did enjoy reading this, it sort of brings up the debate we had here (somewhere) about “what is a review?” Don’t get me wrong, everything you bring up is relevant AND true. It’s just that only ONE paragraph is devoted to _glossing_ (quite lightly, too) over this particular issue of this particular book. If you called this “A Response to Avengers #25″ I would totally not even be bringing this up… I enjoy your original style, Mr. Marlowe, but… If I were your editor at a newspaper, and you handed me that? I would have you do some rewriting. Your mileage is welcome to vary, naturally, as is everybody else’s. Let me repeat: I LIKED THIS!! :D You just might be inviting trouble if it’s going to be what you do all the time. Hopefully that’s seen as “constructive”, because I don’t wanna be a jerktard on the intarwubs. :)

(Oh, wasn’t it the Skrulls, and not the Kree? Where’s my No-Prize? :D)

I’ve long been tired of the writer’s making Pym and unstable idiot. If you compare his mistakes to other such as Reed and Stark they haven’t done better.

The best part of this issue was the panel where Reed tells Hank that he knows more about Pym Particles than Hank does, prompting Cassie to spit out her tea and Cho to stammer out an “Oh, snap!”. Good stuff.

I am a Pym pusher. As stated, not many bad guys are immune to three-foot wide knuckles.

I agree…..I’m pretty sick of Hank getting kicked around like this. I wish he would get treated better in the comics..

God, this is all looking terribly familiar…

The flooding-the-market with one of Marvel’s main franchises, a heavy shake-up in the Spider-Man universe, and creators being allowed more and more freedom with established characters, due to past success history. Oh, and Wolverine’s still everywhere, so much in fact he needed a son and a clone to spread the wealth.

So when does Bendis, Slott, Pak, Van Lente, DnA, Gage, etc. etc. split and form “About Face Comics”?

I think the real problem is that we’re being oversaturated by Avengers issues (much like all of the X-titles in the 90s). Between Mighty, New, Dark, and the Iniative it’s a bit much….

I don’t understand how this book is selling

The problem with Hank is that he has so much crap stacked up against him that he could cure cancer, achieve world peace and feed every man, woman and child on earth and still have stuff to make up for. Just think of “Annihilation: Conquest”, how many were killed by Ultron and his troops?

Hank’s first wife was named Maria. She was later mutated into the monstrous AIM creation MODAM.

I have to say that the best part of the issue (”Richards? It’s on, bitch.”) served only to make Hank look even more unstable and silly. I hope that Slott really does have something huge in mind to bring Hank back to prominence, because the flippant “hey, we saved you from a snot monster, now you love us, right?” bit didn’t do the job.

While I agree on the treatment of Hank, it was still a fun read. Like I’ve said before the Hank/Reed dialogue was hilarious and os was the reation of the people present.

Yes, I defintely agree wiht you. Hank Pym had been the punchbag of the MU for lot of time.
