There has been many, but which one is your least favorite?

I see, you definetly have the incursion.

Avengers Forever dreadful.

Force Works would have been better are some of the recent arcs, like most cast with edgier characters, Chaos War is a brilliant idea

hey why when i click new topic just a white a blank screen?

@rubear: I have what?

So you don't read this volume of Avengers, yes?)

@rubear: No, I just don't think they seem that... interesting.

@nerd_of_a_hero: But Sean Connery and Uma Thurman though....

On-topic, I didn't like Bendis' incarnation, it pretty much abandoned the exclusiveness of the Avengers and lowered the impact of other Marvel teams.

@maccyd: You mean the Heroic Age Avengers? Yeah, I personally would have preferred to keep reading Mighty Avengers.

The Avengers in Age of X were pretty underwhelming.

this was by far the worst version of the Avengers.

or maybe..

these were both pretty bad.

I'll go old school. While I like the classics, I never liked Cap's quirky quartet. This team just seemed to be missing a lot of essential pieces. No muscles, no brains, etc. I don't know. Just didn't care for this lineup.

@quickfingers26: Wow, Pietro making a warm smile is kinda creepy...

@waezi2: It's the 60's. Drugs or just the decade itself made it happen. It clearly didn't last.

I liked this team, mostly for the no-filler group dynamic, but it is pretty hard to take this team seriously as "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" when they lived in the same world as the X-men and the Fantastic 4 and only had two members with actual superpowers.

obviously Stan Lee recognized this, since this lineup really only lasted less than a year (issues 16-27) before they brought Hank Pym back (filling both the role of brains and muscles).

@oldnightcrawler: Well, it was always meant to be temporary, as far as I understand. Hank, Tony and Jan just had some stuff to do, and had to leave the team for some time.

I agree. The Avengers' identity and prestige has been lost. They never recovered from Scarlet Witch's nervous breakdown.

@darthmummy: Which doesn't make sense, no mater how much Marvel try to convince us it does. Kinda wish they would go all Hal Jordan.

yeah, Hank and Jan were both back within a year, with Hercules joining the next year.

It almost feels like they wanted to establish a core team that wouldn't need to be reliant on the characters capable of supporting their own books (like the big 3), thus making Hawkeye, the Pyms, the twins, and later the Vision all main characters in Avengers despite none of them having their own books until years later.

But can we really forget about all this revolving door nonsense (or Civil War), or excuse it like with Jordan?

@darthmummy: Sure we can. It's called Skrulls.

@waezi2: Holy ****! A secret invasion within a secret invasion!

@waezi2 said:

That's not even the entire team

@darthmummy: I dont get why noone has thought about it.

@saucygiraffe: See? That's how little I care about them.

@waezi2: It's a massive retcon to solve a very old and wide-reaching problem that most do not believe exists, or aren't concerned about. I highly doubt there's even a general desire to attempt something like that...

If you ask me, every "Avengers" team after the Disassembled arch should have gone by a different name.

Ok, not the actors specifically, just the entire film itself lol.

As for the least favorite version of avengers is a show called Avengers: United They Stand. I hated that show so much with a passion. And yes, they even made a comic series out of it so it exist. The roster was Wonder Man, Vision, Falcon, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Ant Man, Wasp, and Tigra; not a bad mix up to form a team but it wasn't enough to satisfy the viewers and the show. Captain America and Iron Man only made one appearance but not Thor, some of them had these hand full body armor - which makes no sense since they don't normally use it in the comics - after under going these silly transformation sequence like sailor moon or power rangers , the voice acting was bad, animation was bad, and everything that made the Avengers awesome was absent in UTS. I know there was more things going on behind the scenes about the production of the show and all, but I still stand that this is the one of the worst incarnation of the avengers.

@manchine: I'm actually not too trilled about them myself for a couple of reasons.

really? you don't like Mighty Avengers?

@oldnightcrawler: Na, my problem with them is the same problem I have with JLA after Infinite Crisis. But I like the book better after issue 6.

@waezi2: so many of the issues being event tie-ins you mean?

yeah, I've enjoyed the whole series, overall, but Mighty Avengers #6 is really where it seems to hit it's stride. Probably not a bad jumping point, either.

@oldnightcrawler: Yes, I wrote the comment before reading 6, so I will give it a chance.

6 is where it starts to get pretty great for me, 6-11 have been a real treat.

Anyone else?

anything without THOR

@thorson: Thor is a key-player. If Cap is the spirit, Thor is the heart.

I can't say the series is bad, writers are actually doing really good job but nonetheless the line-up is worse than my wildest imaginations.

really?

what don't you like about this team?

@oldnightcrawler: I really dislike Havok,Scarlet Witch,Rogue and Wasp. So when 4 of them united together i pretty much wow'ed. And in the other members i only actually like Wonder Man everyone else i don't care at all

@marlboroman: yeah, I can see that.

When I started reading the series I wasn't really a big fan of Havok, Scarlet Witch, or Wonder-man, and it had been years since I'd been interested in Rogue. But I guess I ended up liking them all because I like the series as a whole. Havok and Wonder-man especially have become personal favorites in the book, which is totally the last thing I expected.

Havok and Rogue work for me in this book because it puts characters I'd long grown tired of in a new context, one that makes both of them seem a lot more distinct and special than they have been in X-men stories for quite some time. Sort of like when Firestar and Justice joined the team in the 90's; it gave the team and the characters themselves some new blood.

Maybe it's just that I like the book in general, but at this point I'm pretty genuinely interested in all of the members* and would be pretty happy to see this lineup stick around a bit longer.

*(Except for Wolverine, actually, despite being one of my favorite characters in general, he's probably the member of this team that interests me the least at the moment)

@waezi2 said:

This...and not only them...I mean the whole roster by Hickman...

But I have to say I love how he wites the illuminati...

Anyone else?

Can't say I like this line up either. Captain Marvel & Captain America are the only two I would include in an Avengers team.

Bendis's New Avengers
