Can even the AMERICAN KAIJU hope to stand against the forces of alt-girl hair dye, gay cyborgs, and the ambiguously brown force?
Will he fall as a Patriot or rise as a New Avenger?!

God bless this book.
>>82034812
>ah happen to be night-invulnerable when ah`m blastin
OH MY GOD HE EVEN SAID, THANKS EWING, IT MAKES ME SAD EWING WONT EVER WRITE A NEW MUTANT COMIC.
>>82034865
Probably.
Despite the implications in the final pages of Secret Wars (2015), absolutely nothing that happened after Infinity was retconned. Everything still happened.
>>82034812
>Sam is back
>Zebra Kids are back
YES! BASED EWING!
>>82034812
Someone should tell kind storyteller that Sam is back
>>82034368
Do you guys think they're setting up a New Avengers/Thunderbolts crossover?
>>82034525
I missed this.
>>82035171

CH-CH-CH-CH
CANONBALL!
>>82034812
That's one qt Cannonball which is something I never thought i'd say
>>82035359
They're adults now. They don't need him watching over them anymore.
>>82035359
Hopefully they'll be retconned or forgotten about like Colossus kid and Xavier's kid with Mystique
>>82035398
>>82035481
I know, I know. That's why - like Cannonball - they're 'greened out'; that's how I'm signifying characters who have appeared since I made this list. Perhaps I should use something more obvious like putting a big green translucent checkmark instead.
>>82035388
Was she? I either missed or forgot about that. If so I'll amend this list. I think I need to add Northstar to it anyway; I had thought he'd appeared in Captain Marvel along with the other Alpha Flight characters but apparently I was wrong about that.
>>82035710
Apparently Dust was in EXM #1 too, I'd have to reread to confirm Surge.
>>82035421
Do not watch Avengers Assemble then
>>82035817
Well, that's generally a given.
>>82035388
>surge
Issue 2, actually. Just one panel, but good enough.
>>82034394
I was so excited to see Taskmaster for a moment and then I forgot.
>>82035778

Hm. I guess that's probably her.
There we go. Amended and updated.

Fuck you, zebra kids a best.

When did Aikku hook up with Toni?
Doesnt she have a girlfriend?
>>82036614
Her girlfriend broke up with her on the first issues of New Avengers and Aikku has been heartbroken since then

That was one episode. The others didnt show stuff like that
>>82037157
*kaiju
fuck typing while driving, goddammit.
>>82036614
Toni has been worying about her a lot because being POD makes it hard to tell how Aikku feels.
So far I don't think either has made a move beyond emotional reassurance.
>>82037186
I was wondering if it was a portmanteau of gaijin and kaiju, signifying a non-Japanese monster.
>>82035237
Didn't even realized Emma Frost was missing
Duggan said the real Gambit will show up soon in Uncanny Avengers
>>82037219
That could work, actually.
Gaiju...
Hooray for accidental cleverness!

So it's not even a tattoo. it's just Ziller's pure patriotism creating the american flag on his neck and torso.
>>82035359
There's more than one hyprion. Might very well be, that the current Hyperion is not Marcus Milton, but Mark Milton, or...
>>82035359
They're grown ass men now, with jobs and everything, Hype doesn't need to be hovering over them all of the time anymore.
>>82034346
Is Aikku biting her lip?
>>82035469
Did they ever actually? I thought Karla just took her clothes off then because she knew Melissa was coming.
>>82034525
Oh my god I love A.I.M. I love this stupid comic.
>>82034660
He will anon. He's too good not to.
>>82034719
She's a HBIC. I like Maria Hill. You don't have to pick one or the other.
>>82039989
They were a couple for the entire duration of his tenure with the Thunderbolts.
>>82034812
You absolute fucking beast, Ewing.
>>82034741
Give him the arrow Songbird. Only way he will forgive you.
>>82035469

>CBR News: S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't the only force assaulting A.I.M.'s base at the end of Issue #9, it's also under attack by the U.S. government and its newest super weapon, the monstrous American Kaiju. What inspired the creation of this character and just how big, dangerous and intelligent is the Kaiju?
>Ewing: When I first pitched "New Avengers," one of the main things in my mind was that it had to be new, or at least new-ish. New bases, new toys, people who hadn't been Avengers before -- and most of all, new bad guys. I wanted to give Marvel at least one or two all-new, all-now threats -- and most of my ideas were along the "big and crazy" variety, things like Neohedron, Moridun of the Fifth Cosmos and most of all, the American Kaiju. The more I thought about him, the more goofy ideas I had to throw at him, but at the base of it all was the simple concept: "Godzilla exists, and he's American."
As for his vital statistics -- he's thirty stories high, like in the cartoon. He's intelligent, despite his limited vocabulary in monster form and his single-minded devotion to whatever cause the unhinged General Maverick throws him into. And he's very, very dangerous -- I mean, so far, readers have only seen him use his fists. What happens when -- and from the reader reaction, it's definitely a "when" -- he picks up a giant gun?
THE AMERICAN KAIJU IS GONNA GET A FUCKING GUN!
>>82041758
Bless Ewing. He's too good for us.
>>82041758
Giant amerigun incoming?
>>82041758
I'm still holding out for a red, white, and blue SKREEONK but I will settle for a 30 story Kaiju wielding an appropriately sized gun.
Best Avengers carries on being best Avengers. Felt like hit its stride this issue. Ewing knocks it out of the park as ever. Love the whole wacky 1960s American/Brit style (Lee/Kirby Avengers or Claremont X-Men meets Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds & Morrison's Zenith) superhero mash up wackiness. Just brilliant fun supes. And now fucking Cannonball is back!!
>>82034812
And now I have a bro-ner.
Someone needs to storytime Ewing's Zombo from 2000 AD again. Completly batshit crazy wackiness about a zombie hero fighting zombies in outer space while wearing only Cameo pants/a red man thong.
>>82034783
>Savage Land
Well I'm sure that won't backfire horribly.
>>82034812
YESSSS
I honestly tried to give this comic a chance but I don't understand how people can like it. It's trying way too hard to be goofy but it comes off as more annoying than anything because it's not actually funny. This page >>82034525 is like something you'd think some Invader Zim fangirl would find funny. This whole "tee hee Todd Ziller, aren't I being so cheeky" aspect. The whole thing just comes off as dumb and annoying.
>>82044418
>>82041758
You're literally never going to see American Kaiju again once Marvel decides to drop this "comic for hipsters" crap. It's a goofy concept that'll go the way of characters like Hypno-Hustler or Stegron in that you'll be lucky to see them once every decade except at least those characters were made with a modicum of sincerity, not taken from the Chris Sims School of Comic Books where everything should be wacky so you can guffaw at how wacky it is.
>>82044418
Then don't read it, people are going to like things that you don't.
>>82044582
And?
>>82044582
Whatever you say pal.
>>82034346
"Marvel 2016: even the sexless robot thing is a lesbian, for fuck's sake."
>>82044588
I tried to read it to give it a chance, that's the point. Everyone on /co/ jizzes themselves over Ewing and I figured what the hell, I'd give the book a try, I did and I think it's shit. How dare I read something and not like it though.
>>82044785
She's not a sexless robot, she's a lesbian norwegian inside a bio organic robot suit.
>>82034394
TRaitor!
>>82044799
>Everyone on /co/
That means nothing, especially in a thread with only about 40 people, and especially for yhe least selling Avengers book. It's good, but it's not for everyone.
>>82044799
Ewing taps continuity in a really nice way. I don't really understand how you can call him a hipster or wacky for wackiness sake. That sliding timescale thing in Ultimates was very neatly done, and his background is with stuff like 2000AD.
>>82034812
>love Ewing for loving/respecting continuity
>that very trait is going to keep Sam's dumb space baby around
Damn
>>82044418
>>82035237
Surge was in one panel of Extraordinary.
>>82034416
Isn't this dude the blue hulk? What did I miss?
Nice touch Hawkeye referring to his time leading Thunderbolts. Someone on /co/ was complaining that never gets mentioned just a few days ago. Also love the AIM minons still acting like goofy evil minons lol.
>>82046751
Hulk depowered him during his Doc Green phase, along with Scar, Red Hulk and Red She-Hulk.
>>82047628
Ewing's a continuity guy, he likes to pepper in callbacks and references to past goings on in his comics.
>>82045659
At least that baby isn't being pushed as hard as the baby that Jubilee stole was.
>>82044871
With a 100% Finnish name.
>>82044785
she is a lesbian who was taken over by a robot exosuit
>>82049293
Her parents are Finnish, but she was born and brought up in Norway.
>>82035817
He only talked her down a little and helped her turn good, but there was much more shipping fuel between her and Cap. All that ~teamwork~
>>82035237

>>82051056
Yes, yes it is.
>>82034812
I've missed Sam
>>82045659
Ewing's continuity wank is a double-edged sword. He's like the only person who has referenced KSD's Captain Marvel run or Humphries' Avengers AI for example.
>>82053168
So how strong is Cannonball when hes Blastin?
>>82034269
this cover doesn't seem at all related to what happens in the issue
>>82054400
He was able to take down Gladiator while he was blasting. So really fucking strong. Pretty much invincible.
But of course he can't be blasting all the time so there's that.
>>82035237
Can anyone name every single character in this pic from left to right?
>>82054400
He's defeated Gladiator (One of the earlier Superman knockoffs Marvel made) while blastin.
He's outright invulnerable and immortal while doing so.

Not too sure but this was back before (to my knowledge) Gladiator started being jobbed by writers.
He's been out of the spotlight since then so it's been really hard to get the guy feats even half as impressive.

CBR Interview with Al Ewing on this issue and the next ones:
>All-New, All-Different Marvel ushered in a new era for "New Avengers." Written by Al Ewing and drawn by Gerardo Sandoval, the team had a pretty ideal setup thanks to their leader Sunspot purchasing and repurposing the terrorist think tank, Advanced Idea Mechanics. As an arm of the new humanitarian focused A.I.M., Sunspot's Avengers served as a global rescue organization armed with a variety of high-tech vehicles and gadgets. There was, of course, one major caveat: They weren't allowed to operate on American soil because the U.S. government and S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't trust A.I.M's new leadership.
>After Rick Jones, in part responsible for bringing together the original incarnation of the Avengers, needed their help after leaking information about a top secret prison, the A.I.M. affiliated Avengers rushed home to rescue him from S.H.I.E.L.D. during the currently unfolding "Avengers: Standoff" crossover. The New Avengers are now reaping what they've sewn, losing members, dealing with a S.H.I.E.L.D. spy in their ranks, and their island home under assault from both the forces of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the U.S. government's newest super weapon, the American Kaiju.
>CBR News spoke with Ewing about the Kaiju, the revelation of Songbird as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s deep cover operative inside the Avengers, and how the explosive climax of "Standoff" sets the stage for the New Avengers' role in "Civil War II" -- and the return of the villainous Maker.
>CBR News: Let's start with the big reveal, the fact that Songbird has been S.H.I.E.L.D.'s deep cover agent inside A.I.M. Why did you cast her in this role? And how is she feeling at the end of "New Avengers" #9 where she's fighting side by side with S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Hawkeye who tells her he's not about to betray his friends on the team to his boss' invading forces?
>>82056917
>Al Ewing: There's more of that story to come, and obviously I don't want to spoil everything that's ahead -- but she's not feeling too great about it right now. Melissa's decision to work for S.H.I.E.L.D. was an extremely difficult one, and we'll get into the exact whys of it down the line, but this is far from the end of that particular arc, and once readers see her side of things, they might feel more well-disposed toward her.
>>S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't the only force assaulting A.I.M.'s base at the end of Issue #9, it's also under attack by the U.S. government and its newest super weapon, the monstrous American Kaiju. What inspired the creation of this character and just how big, dangerous and intelligent is the Kaiju?
>When I first pitched "New Avengers," one of the main things in my mind was that it had to be new, or at least new-ish. New bases, new toys, people who hadn't been Avengers before -- and most of all, new bad guys. I wanted to give Marvel at least one or two all-new, all-now threats -- and most of my ideas were along the "big and crazy" variety, things like Neohedron, Moridun of the Fifth Cosmos and most of all, the American Kaiju. The more I thought about him, the more goofy ideas I had to throw at him, but at the base of it all was the simple concept: "Godzilla exists, and he's American."
>As for his vital statistics -- he's thirty stories high, like in the cartoon. He's intelligent, despite his limited vocabulary in monster form and his single-minded devotion to whatever cause the unhinged General Maverick throws him into. And he's very, very dangerous -- I mean, so far, readers have only seen him use his fists. What happens when -- and from the reader reaction, it's definitely a "when" -- he picks up a giant gun?
>>82056938
>>S.H.I.E.L.D. and the U.S. government have come for A.I.M. because they operated on American soil to rescue Rick Jones, who currently plays a role in "New Avengers." As an old school Marvel fan, how does it feel to have such a storied character like Rick in your series? Have you written him before?
>I have written Rick Jones before -- or rather, a Rick Jones. I wrote the Rick who became the Hulk in the old "What If...?" stories, which was for me essentially an extended joke about groovy juvenile delinquents, and I'm currently writing a version of the old Rick Jones from the "Future Imperfect" timeline, as someone for the Maestro to bounce off of. Both of these are happening in "Contest Of Champions," natch -- available at all good thrill-merchants!
>If I had to pick a favorite Rick of all, I was always slightly partial to the blond, cowboy-hatted Rick of the old Hulk cartoon -- you might notice he made a cameo appearance on the side of the "Rick Jones" arcade machine in #9...
>>What can you tell us about "New Avengers" #10, the next part of your "Standoff" tie-in? It seems the stage is set for an epic battle, but will that battle continue into "Standoff: Omega?" What can you tell us about the role your cast plays in the crossover's final bookend issue?
>Elements of the final issue will pop up in "Standoff: Omega" -- including the final-for-now fate of at least one of the Avengers Island inhabitants. As for the epic battle -- well, it's a two-hander, with Avenger Five battling American Kaiju in the bay and a more personal action drama developing on land between Songbird, Hawkeye and the riotous Rick Jones. He's had his doubts about A.I.M. from the start -- will he stand together with them at the final moment, or will A.I.M. hang separately?
>>These "Standoff" issues of "New Avengers" mark artist Marcus To's return to Marvel after a few years doing work for DC and some independent publishers. What do you enjoy most about Marcus' style?
![NEWAVN2015011002-col-d4700[2].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/WEf9k81.jpg "NEWAVN2015011002-col-d4700[2].jpg")
>>82056958
>I love it! Marcus' style is clean, beautiful and his storytelling chops are pretty excellent, plus he's got a great command of facial expression, which is a huge plus-point with me. I had the good fortune to meet him in Chicago earlier in the year, and I'd love to work with him again at some point in the future if he's down Marvel way
>>I understand Gerardo Sandoval returns in "New Avengers" #11, which appears to be a spotlight issue on the trio/quintet of New Avengers who were given the team name and tossed out of A.I.M. after they voted against operating on American soil, correct?
>Yes, Gerardo is back for #11, lending his big, bold style to a small-scale tale of Wiccan, Hulkling, Squirrel Girl and Tippy-Toe picking themselves up and moving forward as the All-New New Avengers. And they're facing my personal test of fire, that all new teams must eventually go through -- a date with the Plunderer and Terry! Parnival Plunder is back, and he's more wondrously plunderous than ever!
>>In June's "New Avengers" #12 your cast becomes embroiled in "Civil War II." Fans of your work know you like to use the framework and elements of a crossover tie-in to propel long term story points and ideas. I know you're likely wary of spoilers, but can you talk about how that will work in "New Avengers?"
>Well, we're getting back to the ongoing Maker plot line, but there's a lot of connective tissue in the mix with the main book. When you have this much sturm and drang going on in the Marvel Universe, it's bound to affect things on the edges -- I liken it to something like the play "Noises Off," where there's the action going on on the stage and the drama happening backstage, and one affects the other. "New Avengers" glances off the main "CW2" plot, but we'll be coming out of it in a very different place from where we go in.

>>In "Civil War II" heroes are lining up behind the generals of Iron Man and Captain Marvel, but what does that mean for much of your cast of characters who in the eyes of the U.S. government and S.H.I.E.L.D. are terrorists? Will Iron Man and Captain Marvel necessarily want any of the New Aveners on their side?
>I'm not sure having Roberto da Costa on their side would be that helpful for either of them at this point. That said, A.I.M. aren't the only New Avengers in the book, and at least one of them will be acting on one side or the other in a big way.
>>Finally, you mentioned that the Maker will be returning during your "Civil War II" storyline. Will we see him, his New Revengers squad, and his villainous organization W.H.I.S.P.E.R. make a major move in this story?
>A very major move -- in fact, a move that might be more appropriate for one of my other books -- "The Ultimates!" That's the kind of scale the Maker wants to operate on- and A.I.M. might unwittingly hand him the means to do just that. With "Civil War II" distracting the major players of the Marvel Universe, is this the time for the Maker to blow up the whole enchilada?
>I'd like to finish up by thanking those readers who've joined us for "Standoff" and plan to stick around -- not to mention those readers who've stuck around from before "Standoff" began! It's been a wild and wooly ride, but from here on it's only likely to get crazier -- so strap in and hold tight, pilgrim, because the best is yet to come! To namedrop a certain shapeshifting superhunk's space sword -- Excelsior!

I would have storytimed it much earlier, for I wanted to put "Storytime of Artistic Pain" in the subject field.
Bump for others

AIM is just the greatest. They should get Modok on the team.
>>82058532
I'm surprised someone else besides me actually wanted to storytime it. I've done every issue thus far, and even when I wait a bit to do it, I'm still the first one to do it

he's the God of Stories.
Which means he's going to be whatever a story needs, from a loser to a masterplanner to a random kid

That's just the excuse we made up to explain the retardation Aaron was doing. In Ewing's book it was more like him being the narrator/storyteller if anything.
>>82064681
he's the storyteller, exactly.
Which means he can self-insert as whatever he needs for the story.
It was the point: now Loki can be whatever and is not out-of-character
I'm at a lost at how this book is gonna work now.
Wiccan, Hulkling and Squirrel Girl are off the team.
Hawkeye and Songbird are gone.
So that leaves Sunspot, White Tiger, Power Man and POD as team members still on, and I assume Cannonball will take over Songbird's role.
Still, this is a weird shakeup.

Except that's literally what Loki says in the last issue of Loki: AoA
