I actually got my issue today. It’s a bit of a brake having Doom say “What?” when they mention Sentry’s amnesia thing, although I did like him telling Stark to cut out trying to hack his armour. I suspect S.H.I.E.L.D demolished his castle, which should tick Doom off big time.

I couldn’t agree more Brother129:

Bendis has Doom and Morrigan Le Fey using simple words like, “okay”, and simple phrases like “damn it,”"you fools!!”. Isn’t doom known for more regal, pompous sounding dialogue? Then the team wraps up a symbiote invasion in one book, yet it takes 6 issues to beat a nekkid Ultron?! That ain’t decompression, homie…That’s stalling the book to make money. I almost feel as if Bendis is dumbing down his characters(insulting long-time readers) or phoning in the script.

He can stay as a plotter(just say Iron Man was a Skrull in Civil War and get it out of your damn system already), but get him some help on character personalities/dialogue ASAP. Everyone tends to sound like a 1930’s vaudeville act…I begrudgingly stayed on after Cho left(this is my favorite Marvel team); Since I like Bagley, I’ll drop this after #12…

Mark Bagley doesn’t deserve the blame on this. I save all of it for BMB and Marvel editorial for allowing this glacial pace/decompressed storyline to go on in this title and get all of Marvel continuity out of whack. I’m bummed Bagley is leaving for DC and we should thank him profusely for giving us THREE ON TIME ISSUES of Mighty Avengers. Blame the writer if the story is screwy and could have been told in two issues. Apparently its Bendis’ world and we’re just paying rent.

Ugh. I’m still trying to figure out when this is supposed to be taking place. Could someone explain to me when this synchs up with WWH & New Avengers? For I am but a simple man.

I hate to agree but agree I must. I love BMB’s dialogue but his plotting has been less than stellar on the Avengers for a little while now. I know that he’s very obviously building up to Secret Invasion but there has to be more movement in the book to take us there. I’m not sure if the Cho fiasco of a story (great art but all it really did for me was make me think that the Sentry’s wife was a Skrull so why bother use that many issues) slowed everything down too much but BMB needs to play catch up (if that’s the case) not slow everything down more…

Since Marvel put Bagley on, I’ve lost all interest in Mighty Avengers. I think part of that was because I was willing to put up with a mediocre story because the art was so pretty to look at (hey, Starkultron was only a hot naked chick because that’s all Cho knows how to draw). Now because the story is mediocre-to-poor, and I’m not a fan of Bagley on anything but Ultimate Spidey, I’ve lost interest in Mighty Avengers altogether …

Maybe the artist is throwing out the art quicker because he is going with an old style. No need to spend so much time.

It’s possible… But I’d be willing to bet that Marvel put Bagley onboard because he IS fast, something that Frank Cho (the previous artist) was not.

and I will testify that I support every decision he made. It’s nice to see that things are actually happening though, and I do enjoy the old look they went with. Maybe the artist is throwing out the art quicker because he is going with an old style. No need to spend so much time.
