I am currently reading New, Mighty and the Initiative Avengers titles. Dark Avengers is about to come out and I can't do it any more. I'd like to get down to one Avengers book and I don't know which to read. I know they're about to change directions so it's hard to know what will be good, but what are you planning to buy, what are you excited for, what are you bored with and, if you were going to read one Avengers book, which would it be?
Avengers The Initiative has been hot and cold for me, I'm done with it. That was the easiest decision in this. Dark Avengers, from what I can tell is basically just an extension of what Ellis started in Thunderbolts. I dropped that series and I have no interest in this one. Mighty Avengers sounds like it should be fun, I love the art (and I forget the artist's name right now, Pham?) but Dan Slott's best stuff has always been solo characters to me. His team stuff, mainly referring to Initiative, is a bit iffy. I think he might do a better job with these more well known characters because I think part of the problem was that he knew the characters and assumed that others did too when I didn't, which could make it confusing. New Avengers would be very hard for me to drop as I've been following it since the beginning and loved MOST of it, but right now, I don't even know where it's going to be going. So, I'm having trouble choosing between New and Mighty…
