I liked having more than one Avengers book, and don't object to different squads, but the blending of so many different heroes into the squad has diminished its value. Note the specialness is still evident in the movies; just saw Ant-Man and that was very clear. <br /><br />Love that one hundredth issue by the way. A real gem. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-35786818701177278402015-07-29T06:14:01.300-04:002015-07-29T06:14:01.300-04:00The Avengers became everyone, so in a sense they b...<i>The Avengers became everyone, so in a sense they became no one.</i> Quite well put. I think that became true even before their ranks were mixed with other teams. I recently had occasion to return to <i>Avengers</i> #100, where Roy Thomas (and Barry Smith) created a double-page spread that gave a landmark display of "every man and woman who was ever an Avenger." At the time, that came out to only about twelve people; but compare that to the virtual <i>crowds</i> of Avengers present in future such displays as the membership ranks swelled, and that issue of <i>Avengers</i> sadly loses a great deal of significance.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.com
