COMICS: Earth's Mightiest Heroes Battle Their Past Selves In AVENGERS #27 Preview

Dope!

This fits into the much larger story Hickman is telling in New Avengers. Looks like in this story we're going to see the Avengers finally figure out what the Illuminati have been dealing with as well as how.

I like the Super Adaptoid in small doses. This is a very different take on that character or in this story - characters.

meh might be fun

Marvel needs a hard reboot.

@grif and Interestein when they are bringing the original xmen and the original avengers back, you know it's time for a reboot. They're rebooting the original characters, but not the continuity. And new 52 is so much better than the shit marvels putting out

Marvel has a few good titles. Thor being my personal favorite but I love the new guardians run as well as a few others. This however looks very uninteresting.

@Batmaniac

Why does Marvel need a reboot they are doing fine in sales compared to DC and there are still great titles that Marvel puts out. The thing about a reboot which DC has shown us can be handled absolutely terribly DC's continuity is so f ed up that they are still trying to figure out what events and when events happened.

Could not believe marvel getting bagged for having great continuity what's wrong with that or do the dcu reboot I like establishcharacters with the trade paperbacks how can u want reboots

In actuality these aren't the "past" Avengers; in fact, they're Avengers from an alternate earth that has been destroyed due the multiverse destroying itself with incursion events. Despite bearing the same physical appearance, these alternate Avengers are in fact evil and comparable to Dc's Crime Syndicate. Just another great example of how majority of the people on this site have never and don't read comics.

This bringing the 60's avengers to the future is just ridiculous. I love me some avengers books (even if they're 5-10 at a time), but even this is just not appealing to me. All New X-Men is awesome...This is just a bite and its stupid.

This is one of the few plot devices that is going to be used to expose The Illuminati as mass murderers.

People...

The title of the article is incorrect. These ain't no past avengers, but those from an alternate Universe, probably following the Incursion storyline from New Avengers.

Still pretty gimmicky but not as lame as bringing past heroes into the future (again, after all new xmen).

@Spidyfan I stopped reading MarvelNow avengers after the Ex Nihilo arc and picked up some of the Infinity tie-ins. So I do read some comics. And yes, you're better than me for buying this one

@spideyfan - "consistently dominate the competition with sales and market share."

No, they actually don't.


"The stories have been taking the characters to new places showing that they aren't bygone like most of the DC lineup. Seriously, DC spent almost an entire year telling Batman's origin...again."

They retold Batman's origin story once since the New 52. Where the [frick] are you getting this "again" from.

Looks like a ton of fun. Can't wait to read this.

Haters can kick rocks. GTFOH with those same-same whiny ass complaints.

No [frick]ing reboots you fools. You see what a travesty it's been for DC haven't you? Sheesh.

Rebooting Marvel is total lost of ideas, dumbass. Yeah, just like the New 52 - rehashing origin stories and putting characters in new costumes.

Not resorting to total reboot means Marvel actually does something different than DC.

Top 10 comics from Janurary. We have the top two being DC, then a Marvel at #3 (one of the many #1 issues). The next, DC. The following 3 are a marvel, but not avengers, who they are messing up the worst. Then Harley Quinn, and finally the Avengers. This new storyline and basing all of the characters of the movie adaptations is not working. Spider-Man and X-Men, who are not basing their stories off movies, are doing much better. Superior Spider-Man was original, and X-Men is kicking off a new event (so that really shouldn't count). Based on the large amount of events and #1's, it seems like Marvel really is in it for the money. Even Robert Kirkman agrees that while some of the comics are good, Marvel's long term plan is flawed.

Why is it dumb when the avengers fight their evil self but it's genius work when DC does forever evil? I don't get some of you guys.

Marvel doesn't need a reboot. They just need a boot. A size ten right up their uncreative a$$e$. BubSnikt is right in that their plan is flawed. This tail wagging the dog bs of basing all their original print characters on the film versions with MarvelNow is a total crapfest.

They would be better served to just roll their universe back to Avengers Disassembled or Heroes Return or somewhere in that period before they started renumbering every title twice a year and changing characters appearances to match Hollywood costume designers specs, clean house of all editors and most writers and artists and bring back veterans that can create great stories while managing to maintain continuity longer than a week. Enough with sales gimmicks and marketing ploys and half baked, sloppily patched together "events".

btw, nobody noticed that Super Adaptoid cover is a copy of an Avengers classic.

I still read Marvel books but usually through digital copies from friends. I enjoy Hickman's, Remender's and Ewing's Avengers books. Jason Aaron's Thor is by far their best book though. I love DC but some of their decisions as of late have driven me away from their books. Green Lantern has declined (even before Johns left) but then Aquaman was really good. Superman/Wonder Woman is surprisingly good and I dig what I've read of Swamp Thing.

Both companies have great stuff to offer and they both have their drawbacks. But overtime I think you'll notice that smaller companies like Image, Valiant and IDW are taking bigger pieces of the sales pie. People are getting tired of the clearly corporate driven mandates that permeate the stories that they put out. Marvel is one event setting up another setting up another and constant renumbering. DC is bent on making all their characters dark and gritty like Batman. I'd argue that Image, Valiant, IDW, and even Archie Comics (Afterlife with Archie is awesome)put out books easily on par with if not better than a lot of the offerings of the big 2. And a big part of it is that they're not owned by a big corporation that demand the utmost level of productivity. But then those smaller companies don't have billion dollar movie franchises. So there are trade offs.
