Marvel's army of super heroes has just become a super hero army! Also featuring The Mighty Avengers and a new generation of Marvels. Collects The Initiative #1-6. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Graphic SF ReaderI actually enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. The story focuses on a bunch of new recruits of the kid variety to the Initiative program. You know that things aren't going to go well when you see that Henry Pym, Henry Peter Gyrich, and your superhuman gung-ho drill sergeant type are in charge, and when one of the new kids is a sort of Captain America peak human type who could not have cannon fodder stamped more clearly upon him if it was in orange and pink neon ... Read More Rating: - Uncle Sam Wants ThemI thought that a lot of the Civil War ties have been weak, but not The Initiative. This series is off to a strong start. From the first issue, you're introduced to some promising new characters. You think you know where the series is headed and - bam! - Slott throws you a very unexpected, even brilliant curve. I wish I could tell you what makes it so great without giving anything away, but I don't want to spoil any surprises for you. Just trust me - this book goes into some very unexpected ...

Jim Rhodes, or War Machine, and Hank Pym, Yellowjacket. I just wish the writer wouldn't always have to bring up the fact that Hank had some problems with Jan in the ... Read More Rating:  - A Good Story But Some Really Lame CharactersI've been a long X-Men fan, and read many of those series for a decade, and thought I'd see what was going on in the Avengers world. I picked this one up at the book store because I liked Caselli's art. The final section features art by Uy which is pretty horrible, but for the most part, the book has great art. The story is good, and introduces a bunch of new (at least they seem new to me) characters such as Cloud 9, Trauma, MVP, Armory, Komodo, and Hardball. Sadly, these interesting characters are eclipsed ... Read More Rating: - after the civil war, please meet ... THE INITIATIVE !After the great event that was the Civil War between our heroes (and the loss of Captain America), the Initiative plan is about to become the next legend coming from the House of Ideas !! |
