As I said in Talk@, 2007 will be the year of MODOK.

This is the best Avengers book in decades (perhaps ever). It boggles my mind that the fanboys ignore the Marvel Adventures line because they think they're "kiddie books." They don't know what they're missing.

Its not that I think they are kiddie books, its that I cant afford to add more books to my list. Espcecially since these books take place in their own universe.

I have been thinking about picking up the digests though. I hear taht Spidey Adventures has been a great read.

As enjoyable as they are, they are kiddie books.

I dunno, it's not really that it's a kiddy book. It's just not quite the Avengers I know if Storm, Wolverine and Spider-man on it. It's on that premise that I don't pick it up. I have heard many good things about it and in a cheap TPB or HC on a slow month, I might just give it a try.

Bear in mind, I also read Power Pack.A fun little kiddie book.

A buncha massive-headed Modoc heroes kickin' ass and takin' names.
It's jacked-up!
It's great!
An awesome start to the new year !
LOL !!!

so if marvel is the house of ideas,im supposing marvel adventures is the Garage of ideas?
...the Root cellar of ideas?
the avengers as modocs?...hmm

grabbingsand · 01-02-2007, 09:40 AM

Kiddy books or not ...

I know that I want a MODOC Captain America action figure on my desk. Like now.

And so do the rest of you.

JackFrostUK · 01-02-2007, 09:42 AM

BIG HEAD! BIG HEAD! BIG HEAD!!

The cover looked cool....the previews way cool! I'm def picking up this issue!

When is MODOK's 11 out? :/

Bugaboo-X · 01-02-2007, 09:53 AM

Almost as good as if they had been converted to Avengorillas.

I may buy this one just to make my wife laugh.

Well, considering that Spider-Man was an on again/off again reservist in the early 90's and current New Avenger, Wolverine as a current New Avenger, and Storm was a member in an alternate reality (Kang story in the 80's) All of them have been Avengers in one form or another. LOL

Seriously though, people should check out this title. It's a fun read month after month. Done in one stories that have something for both kids and adults.

While I also have been staying away due to Spider-Man, Wolverine, and Storm's presence on the team, I have to say that I'm getting this issue.... for the cover alone, if nothing else (and I am violating my no-buy-for-covers-only rule as well)!

BillReed · 01-02-2007, 11:28 AM

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahah!

I can't wait for this. This is AWESOME.

The_Googly · 01-02-2007, 12:22 PM

I think I have to own this.

Mundungus · 01-02-2007, 12:31 PM

That was hilarious. I'm going to pick it up.

The art is really good too. Get this guy on a 616 book!

Rob Barrett · 01-02-2007, 12:43 PM

I'm going out on a limb here: the loose story arc in Jeff Parker's first four issues of Marvel Adventures Avengers is the best Avengers story since Busiek's Ultron arc.

As this preview suggests, his next four issues may be vying for similar status.

Some of the marvel adventures books are the best on the market. The only thing that is affected by the fact it is being marketed to kids is there are rules on what type of violence can be done on the book. If you love regular marvel continuity you will love these books. No continuity just plain old fashion fun comics. It is a nice break from the current marvel universe.

lordlad · 01-02-2007, 12:55 PM

Now that gives me an idea...

Marvel has done MArvel Zombies, However a Marvel MODOK for this year ??!!!?? *WINK*

bob_at_york · 01-02-2007, 01:03 PM

This issue looks like fun! I dropped this book because of budget reasons but they are giving me good reason to look for the digests.

I'm sorry... Any quibbles about who's an Avenger or who's not, or whether this is more appropriate for kids aside, this single issue could be the single issue of any comic this year. That preview is hilarious.

KyleCowstar · 01-02-2007, 02:15 PM

This should be the best selling issue of any Marvel Adventures series.

That's probably my favorite book currently being published by Marvel...

It'll be THE comic of comics.

Years from now, people will be talking about where they were when they read the All MODOK issue.
