1.0 out of 5 stars The Heart of a Paper Lion at Best, August 3, 2004

This review is from: Avengers Vol. 4: Lionheart of Avalon (Paperback)

Despite some promising aspects, poor characterizations make this story arc one of the weakest in the title's near 500-issue history. The author succeeds in creating a moving and poignant event in the selfless heroic sacrifice of a young mother. In her resurrection however, she is saddled with a horribly cynical burden. For the most part, the Avengers are portrayed as a superhero team completely unable to function due their own personal problems, and lack of professionalism. Themes that could be quite effective are treated in jerky, unconvincing fashion. Long-time followers of the title will find several inexplicable developments, and unrecognizable charters.

This review is from: Avengers Vol. 4: Lionheart of Avalon (Paperback)

The writer insults his fans, calls them 40 year old virgins who live in their parents basement when anyone dares say a bad word about his books, he is so bad he went from writing a bunch of books a month, to be currently fired off every book, from two companies, so you know how well the writing must be.

The characters do not act anythign liek they should, for example Hank Pym who in a bout of insainity 20 years ago slapped his wife once, and then faced trial for that and other crimes, and then reformed and and patched his life back together, him and his now ex-wife are even lovers again, everything is back to normal

or so it seemed till this writer, he writes him as a nut, everyone acts like he will beat his wife again over one slap 20 years ago, he all of a sudden hates women, when a mother dies he speaks badly about her, facts about his life are messed up.

but he's not the only one, Cap is shown as a man who can't even comfort kids who just lost a mother, Hawkeye insults the dead mother in front of her kids, everyone acts like the biggest jerks in the history of the world, nothing liek they are.

the new captain britan kills enemies, is unknown, yet is invited to join the team? she lectures the team on why killing is right and they don't know anythign about killing, yet the writer must have forget many avengers have killed, stoof trial over it at times.

so many plot holes pop up, i can't mention because it would spoil the book, but they are really really bad, stay far far away.
