So apparently me being SO NERVOUS about being workshopped means that I can't fall asleep. Who would have guessed. Also roommate has been on the phone for the last hour, which doesn't help. (WTF phone plan does she have? I swear she's on at least 5 hours a day.) But then I thought hey, I just got the first volume of Marvel Adventures: Avengers. Maybe I should do some scans so people can see why they should be reading this. Because OMG SO GOOD. Especially when compared to 616's dead!Steve dead!Jan BND!Peter SHIELD!Osborn suicidal!Tony canon clusterfuck. So. Scans. Have them!


The Avengers are summoned by the military to be told they aren't needed anymore - they've got a new super-dooper shiny robot army to replace them. Too bad the robots immediately go crazy. Spiderman is king of stating the obvious.
Blah blah plot happens, they beat Ultron but it takes control of a production base, so they have to go there and fight it.

I'm sure there are strong tactical reasons for Steve and Tony to always stick together in battle. It's not just because they're married.

Spider-pirate! Is this a bad place to mention how much I *heart* Spiderman? Ultimate!Spidey was the first comic book I really got into, y'all.

Spiderman is smart and awesome! And they beat Ultron, for the time being. But mostly I included this for the last two panels. Hee!
Not scanning the second story, but suffice it to say that the Avengers fight some giant sea creatures, the Hulk gets kidnapped, and Wolverine saves the day by calling the Hulk names until he gets mad enough to punch a lot of things.


I don't think any of the kids this is aimed at will get the MST3K shoutout, but it fills my heart with glee. Also, Steve, you are such an adorable prude, and you should chew your boyfriend out for sleeping through your movies.
And then Steve gets kidnapped by Nazis. Well, a Nazi, anyway. And Tony uses Science! to track him down so he and the rest of the Avengers can save him from Baron Zemo's grandson.


The Avengers are called in to stop a prison break, which they do handily. This exchange ("This for using ain't! This is for being a supervillain! This is because I like to hit people!") is made of win.
I wonder if Steve has oiled Iron Man before?



Seriously, someone needs to mail this guy the Evil Overlord List.

This page was why I decided to do scans in the first place. Because the Avengers haven't gone to Paris in this book. So all I can assume is that Steve and Tony went to Paris together for a romantic date, and Tony kept the pictures, for...uh...nostalgia's sake? Yeah, we'll go with that.
MA Steve and Tony - twice the gay and none of the angst of 616 Steve and Tony. :D
