The New Avengers
Anyone else reading this? If so, what do you think? Personally, I'm up in the air on the Sentry arc. It seems a little cheesy to me to be crossing the "reality" line with the whole comic book connection. Wolverine seems grossly out of place still, but at least they are dealing with that a bit with the conversation between him and Iron Man. All in all, it's still a pretty good read, but this arc is wearing a little thin by now.
And what's with Luke Cage keeping the Wrecker's crowbar? Is he the new "Thor" replacement or is that just temporary?

I'm reading it year (since I'm able to *wink*wink* buy them while living in Denmark)
Sentry part of the story is interesting, I'm just not sure where they're going with it - I think the ending will make it
Wolverine - at least they're trying to explain why he's hanging out with them
and "Woops I dropped my tricycle" just cracked me up! the whole Wrecker deal was pretty cool IMO

I've enjoyed the hell out of it thus far.

LOL Well that's a good thing! Personally, I wish they'd apply just a tad more speed to getting the team together though. We haven't even seen this "Ronin" character yet.

Sentry arc = 2 thumbs up. Ronin arc = who the fuck is it? If it's Elektra, then it'll make sense, but damn if it won't really be pushing the limits of who the Avengers let in.
I think they need to give something for the Silver Samurai to do. Toss a silver guy a bone here!

Have you read any of the Kitty Pryde mini? I'm sure what we've seen there isn't the endall beall, but uh..
SPOILER ALERT
DONT READ THIS IF YOU DONT LIKE SPOILERS
I think she killed him. Or they're saying she did.
And yknow, come to think of it, Silver Samurai could be Ronin. It's definitely not Taskmaster, AFAIK, which is annoying.

Yeah, I wanted it to be Taskmaster, too, which would have been the greatest thing since ever. That guy is a walking goldmine, if they ever played him right.

He's so awesome. If Cable/Deadpool wasn't so good, I'd love for a squad of mercenaries..Deadpool, Taskmaster, maybe Agent X? I need to finish his series..a couple others to get a book. Probably have Simone or the current C/D on it, it'd be gold.
Not that Taskmaster doesn't deserve a solo title.

Yeah, they really have some characters that could be a big cash-crop for them if they ever cultivated their seeds: Taskmaster, Moon Knight, etc. These are cult favorites for a lot of people, but you NEVER see them getting their chance aside from a mini or guest shot here and there. I still think Moon Knight should be on the damn New Avengers, along with Taskmaster. Get rid of Wolverine, he's everywhere anyway.
