2 NEW! Avengers series!!!

Marvel has released 2 new series this month based around the Avengers movie coming out in May. The 1st one is 'Avengers Assemble' which includes the 6 main characters from the upcoming movie. I believe this is going to be a ongoing series. I didn't find any info to dispute that. The series is written by the writer of the main Avengers title, but Brian Michael Bendis is not going to continue with the main Avengers title so I don't know if he will continue to do 'Avengers Assemble'.
The other new Avengers title is a 4 part prelude to the movie. So read this before you go see it. 2 issues have already come out and they have a completly different creative team from the other Avengers titles. It's called 'Fury's Big Week' and does center around him and S.H.I.E.L.D. Check out these new titles to get your Avengers fix until the movie comes out!

Just picked up Avengers 24.1, which as a prelude to the Avengers vs. Xmen event that starts next month, details the fallout between the newly alive Vision, and his reaction to hearing how he died and that his wife, the Scarlet Witch, was ultimately responsible. There's a really amazing confrontation between Vision and Magneto...a great, great little story that makes me pretty excited for this upcoming Marvel event.

I'll have to check that out. Two of my favorite teams going at it!

Picked up #2 of Avengers Assemble Wed. I read both of them and they were both good. The story does take place in the current timeline of the comic series already being done. They come up with a cool way on keeping this seperate from the other Avengers books though. If you like the Avengers comics you would like this series.
Check out the HULK getting ready to 'SMASH' on the cover of issue #2.

Issue four came out this week of Avengers Prelude and concludes this mini-series. I will be reading this soon now that I have all the issues. Which shouldn't be a problem while I'm on vacation!! Here is a pic of issue 4.

Fury's Big Week was a really good story taking place during Iron Man 2, Thor and The Incredible Hulk. It was a very well done mini-series. They came out with a new 3 parter also that is a prelude to The Avenger's movie called "Black Widow Strikes'. I picked it up Sat. Here is a pic. Please no drooling over Scarlett.

I've read the fist two issues of "Hulk Smash Avengers" which is another limited series that retells some of the iconic meetings between those characters over different periods of the Marvel timeline. Fun stuff so far.

I read about those on Marvel's web site but didn't see them at the comic shop I go to. They did look interesting.

Joby, I did see the latest issue of the Hulk Smash Avengers on Friday. It was #3 of 5. So I didn't get it since I din't have the other 2. Also this week #2 came out of Black Widow Strikes. The last issue comes out on June 6.

They are all stand alone issues so you can easily pick up in the middle and enjoy

I'm surprised I didn't think to check that but I did have my sister in law with me and she was getting bored of being in the comic shop. I was taking her home from work, we both work at the same place, and I told her I needed to stop at the Comic Shop first. I don't think she had as much fun as I did. ;D

Avengers Assemble #4 comes out June 13.
The last issue of "The Black Widow Strikes" came out Wed. I plan on reading this series this weekend now that I have the last part. Another nice cover with a pic from the movie.
