salineaMighty Avengers 21-36
Read in order to complete my Amadeus Cho reading - for which it's actually pretty disappointing (also had my two least favourite Young Avengers & Quicksilver - I guess it does complete other stuff I've read pretty well). Decent otherwise with some fun moments but also a lot of dorky moments. Hank Pym really is the only character with solid characterisation through out though; and even there the writer seems to be under the delusion that having him go "SCIENCE!" loudly enough will trump having some actually good storytelling/plotting around scientific (even very pseudo-scientific) ideas. Art very inconstant (which is a shame, as I really liked it when it was being good)
And, lest you guys think I've been doing nothing all this time, I'm also 25 issues into Nightwing (which is good but a bit dry), and 6 issues into The Question (which is very good). I'll have more to say later

I think Dixon is a bit too slow setting up a supporting cast. It's good he does it in depth at least, but meanwhile, the texture of the story suffers from it (at least the action scenes in general are very good).

pas faux, mais bon, c un dictat du medium, et après faut faire avec ou faire abstraction.

If I have fond memories of his run, it's because of the atmosphere he set, not because of the particulars. (I'd say I also have some bad memories of some offensively disappointing villains, but those are mostly a blur.)

Date: 31 March 2011 06:31 pm (UTC)Well, I speak about the run from the eighties.
I don't know for the other mini-series, only read
one more, which was fun but not very clever.
