This stuff reminds me of Civil War, which was a big mess from the first issue. Delays and the book barely had a plot. The first three issues had big things that fizzled out despite the fact that two of them were things that had never been done before. I swore I wouldn't read another big Marvel crossover. Look at Captain America and Iron Man on that first preview page. How do you go from friends who disagree, to bitter enemies who were friends, back to working together again like nothing happened? This just reminds me of that thing. Not to mention they had two big characters return, then not turn out to be who they thought they were. One of thems right there. Captain Mar-Vell himself. Who had a one-shot come out and then later you found out it wasn't him at all. Just like Thor. So, it had better be him if they want to retain any shred of credibility.
Also, it's all about the New Avengers. I haven't read the X-Men in a while, but I've always gone back to reading it. The problem now is that their book is so affected by what goes on in the Avengers books there was barely a point of having an X-Men team because all the mutants were gone. More or less. Because of what happened in the Avengers books. I'm not even going to ask why Namor is there.
Hey, anyone read Aquaman recently? Good stuff. You see they make jokes about him talking to fish. It's funny.
As for JRJR, I was looking through an old Spider-man comic he did in the 90s and really enjoyed it. His art had flair and it was inked well with good colors. Spider-man was a guy named Ben Reilly and was single and he was awesome. Like everyone else, he (JRJR) has probably felt his time grow short with his personal life and professional life, so he draws real fast and that's how it came out. I don't think he's a bad artist. i could tell what was going on and that's important.
Hey, did Collosus shave his head? Weird.
Will I buy this. I don't know. Maybe.:)
