Avengers: The Initiative

I checked around and couldn’t find a thread, so I decided to make one. So, here we go:

So…those first 8 issues were great…too bad they’re killing everyone from them. Gotta love Taskmaster’s “fuck it” attitude. And Gauntlet’s going nuts with the two weapons from Sudan.

Not to mention the Skrull that has no idea that there’s a Secret Invasion going on.

He’s lame, though!

Didn’t he first appeared in that Marvel Team up?

Wiki says he first appeared in Marvel Team-Up Vol. 3 #23-25.

Lame for right now but I would really like to see how he would figure into this Secret Invasion arc. They said there was a Skrull at Camp Hammond but I don’t think it was him though that talked to the Skrull from the Liberteens.

Nah, I’d definitely have to say that the skrull will be that guy who was talking to Gyrich in the Annual and blackmailed Hardball. He probably wanted to get the SPINtech for the skrulls.

The only other people who could be skrulls are Pym, the Nazi and Gyrich. And the fact that they were all in on cloning a buncha MVPs to fill out the Initiative rather than filling it with skrulls suggests otherwise to me.

damn that actually makes sense. They could depower any threats and start beasting on everyone else.

Anyways with the current KIA arc i’m hoping the chick that owned the tactigon before killing MVP comes back to claim it.

I’m betting we’re going to find out that with the two monsters who fought in Annual, one dropped the Tactigon and the other dropped the Gauntlet and sword that Gauntlet’s using, which is why Gauntlet has suddenly gone wild. Anyways, I think the Tactigon could end up getting destroyed. We already know that this arc is going to end with Iron Man showing up and freaking out all over everyone, so I could see him giving the Tactigon back to Armory if it doesn’t get destroyed.

I missed the past couple of issues (last one I read was #6) as the story wasn’t very captivating. The artwork is pretty cool though. If Caselli is still the artist then maybe I’ll start reading it again.

I’d recommend checking it out. Honestly, my only problem with it is we’re just now getting in the groove of who’s who. What’s what. And now everyone’s dying.

The status quo is yet to be established, and they’re shaking it up right now, and they intend to shake it up further in a few months.

Well we won’t know who died till the next issue.

This is very true. But I can’t see them with…

dead guys

Spoiler

Keeping everyone alive after Trauma gets skewered, Pym getting vaporized, Baron Von Whatsits? getting smacked with a damn 42 inch plasma, Thor Girl getting nuked, and Gauntlet about to go completely nuts.

Thor Girl will survive just cause she’s a God.

Trauma will survive somehow

The Baron is definitely dead.

Pym is gonna be alive just for the sake of the Secret Invasion arc.

There might be some casualties within the new students that arrived.

Nah, the Tactigon’s deal is that it only works enough to neutralize the objective, and since his objective was only to kill the crew who was around I bet they’re going to leave Diamondback, Eric O’Grady, the Skrull and Melee all alive. O’Grady’s too awesome to kill, and Diamondback has history. Melee is going to end up as the new Taskmaster and the Skrull is a skrull.

I don’t think they’re going to wipe out the cast right after introducing them.

Good point…it would be stupid to kill off ant-man.

I really want to see if Justice uncovers the whole clone thing and see if it has an ramifications for the 50 state initiative.

Damn straight! Eric O’Grady is the MAN. He does big pimpin’ then tells off the hoes.

Like with Veronica after he screws her “yeah…but when I’m talking to you it’s like been there, done that.”

Then he watches Ms. Marvel get lathered up. Great stuff, that. I hope he becomes the main character.

I’m glad Taskmaster didn’t get killed. He’s always been one of my favorites and his power is bad ass. I wish he’d get rid of the dumb ol cape though.

QFT.

UDON Taskmaster ftmfw.

But yeah, seriously…his power is pretty badass. I hope Pym did get killed just because of how he smack-talked Taskmaster. I miss his SHIELD weapon generator from his solo miniseries. Being able to just randomly generate Spidey webs, Cap’s shield, Wolverine’s claws and so on and so forth is badass.

Seems like taskmaster is just rollin with the Shield,Bow and Arrow, and Sword for right now.
