 | Avengers vs Agents of Atlas #1 (Marvel) "Earth's Mightiest Super Heroes"/"Defender of the Deep" Jeff Parker Gabriel Hardman Elizabeth Breitweiser Tom Orzechowki Takeshi Miyazawa Chris Sotomayor Joe Sabino Humberto Ramos/Ed Delgado (cover) we had them teaming up with the X-Men, now we get them with the Avengers. everyone's favorite retro team gets lots of guest bookings (now also appearing in Thunderbolts), despite the cancellation of their book. i was thinking this was going to be a time travel thing considering the cover. as it turns out, it is but in reverse: a time/space anomaly has converted the present day (real) Avengers into their '60s incarnation, giving them the opportunity to catch up with old times with the Atlas people. it may be similar to Avengers/Invaders but i assume Jeff Parker has tricks to wow us. there's also a backup story that would serve as a lesson to kids who intend to take up whale-hunting as a career. |

snaps: X-Men vs Agents of Atlas #2
... where the time-honored tradition of fighting before simple diplomacy is in full effect. (actually that describes around half of superhero comics since 1938!)
1) cat? i thought he was a dog?! or a horse?!
Q: What do you call a bunch of Hank McCoys?
A: The Blue Cat Group?
2) Namor: "that insolent remark will cost you thirty lashes in our next tryst. when is that scheduled, by the way? am not sure we should do it in Utopia."
3) how do you say "get a room!!!" in Atlantean?
4) speaking of feelings, here's some creepy ones along the lines of cyber-telepathy.
5) oh, i see what you did there, Jeff Parker, you clever man you.
6) lookit! it's Cyclops without his visor or any eyewear!! isn't he handsome?? (this would qualify for a No-Prize, except that its in the astral plane or some plot device which anything is possible)
7) see, there's always a way to stop Wolverine (short of a Muramasa blade).

enlighten me ...
... o geekz of the InterWebz.
how does Namor talk through water again? and in an intelligible way?
you can see the bubbles from below so don't tell me he's not in water.
oh and hey, where's that webbed thing that used to be under his armpits? or does that appear only when he's flying?
also, let's see what Namor is actually saying on the cover (considering that watery thing that muffles sound):
Namor: "you cannot keep me from my cousin's puppies!!!!!!!!!!"
honest to God, that's what happens in this issue.
