Mighty Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Thread

A sneak peek of sorts from Dan Slott:

MIGHTY AVENGERS #21
"Earth's Mightiest Part 1 of 3"
"The Smartest Man in the Room"
Plot for 32pgs.
Dan Slott

PAGE 1
Panel One
We open on a "worm's eye view" of the FOUNDERS STATUE outside of AVENGERS MANSION (see ref). We don't need to see the mansion in this panel because we're going to pull back to a proper establishing shot in Panel Two.
For the purpose of this shot, we don't even get a full view of the FOUNDERS STATUE. HULK, IRON MAN, CAP, and THOR should be cropped so that only parts of them are in frame. The FOCUS of the panel is firmly on the GIANT MAN part of the statue, heroically pointing forward, with a tiny statue of the WASP poised on his finger.
In the sky above, dark clouds are brewing. And through a gap in the sky we can see a small, green figure flying through the air, with a large yellow cape unfurled behind them. (This is VISION from the YOUNG AVENGERS, but he's too far away to make out.)

Panel Two
We pull back to see a proper shot of the FOUNDERS STATUE, with the wrecked AVENGERS MANSION behind it. There are other statues of AVENGERS as well (please, no statues of JACK OF HEARTS or any version of ANT-MAN)-but none of them are nearly as large or prominently placed as the FOUNDERS STATUE.
THE VISION comes in for a landing feet first, his yellow cape flapping behind him. On his shoulder is a shrunk-down STATURE (a.k.a. CASSIE LANG, the VISION'S girlfriend and fellow YOUNG AVENGER).
The VISION and CASSIE are having a conversation that quickly fills us in on a few thingsâ€¦They're here because WICCAN called for an emergency meeting of the YOUNG AVENGERS. He's detected a major magical threat-on a global level.
CASSIE isn't too sure about any of this. WICCAN is relatively new to his powers.
VISION points out that with DOCTOR STRANGE missing, WICCAN is now one of Earth's most powerful magic users. They shouldn't take this lightly.

Panel Three
As CASSIE jumps off of VISION'S shoulder and grows back to her normal height, the VISION says that he's getting a bad feeling-as far as android feelings go. His communications systems are acting up-and his WiFi is down.
This amuses CASSIE. She never thought of VISION as having WiFi capabilities. But it only makes sense. After all, iPhones have it, and
VIZH is wayyyy bigger than an iPhone.
"Say," she asks him, "do you have an MP3 player in there too?"

Panel Four
The VISION admits that-yes, he HAS a built-in MP3 player. CASSIE raises an eyebrow and playfully asks him what music he has downloaded inside him.
As the VISION lists some bands, CASSIE says that those are all of HER
favorites.
"Of course," the VISION tells her, "that's why they're in there."

Panel Five
The two of them are obviously in love. Silent panel as CASSIE does that cute thing that girls do when they slightly bite down on their lower lip and try not to smile. (Khoi, this should be one of those isn't-Kitty-Pryde-adorable-and-don't-we-just-love-her moments.)

Got the 4 issues of Slott's Mighty Avengers over the weekend and I have to say that this is a fresh start for the franchise. New team, new chemistry, great art and lots of plot twists. For those who are getting tired of Bendis' writing, you should check this out.

I read the recent issue of Hank Pym's Avengers - I liked it! Because the Inhumans were there! Teen-Inhumans! There was a flashback that featured Black-bolt, Medusa, Karnak, and Gorgon when they were kids and how Black Bolt came to be King.

This Avengers is up against the Unnamable - the king before Black Bolt who was banished and erased from Inhuman history because of what he did (He sold the most powerful weapon that they had.) When Pietro realized what they were up against he said they needed to call ALL KINDS OF AVENGERS! The New, the mighty, the initiative, everyone for that matter! Surprised

The team, meanwhile, were checking out their new HQ - an infinite Avengers Mansion. (Natawa ako nun malapit na mag-panic si Jarvis nun akala nya kailangan nyang linisin ang Infinity. Hehe!) It was impressive but I think lumalaki na naman ang ulo ni Hank Pym.

I have never liked Hank. The last arc really got into my nerves - of he he was childish, impulsive, immature. I told Adverb Lad (Who is a rabid Hank Pym fan. God knows why! Rolling Eyes

) that Hank Pym is not fit to lead an Avengers team. (Nagtampo! Muntik na hindi ipabasa sa akin itong bagong issue! Laughing

)

Still this new arc looks promising - pag nabugbug si Hank matutuwa ako. Laughing
