Some Austen

for what purpose
>>83491733
But I refuse.
>>83491812
We need some chuck
>>83491733
What the fuck is this cover.

I don't like where this is going

I relish storytime of pain. Nothing like truly bad comics to make you appreciate the good ones.
Isn't this the run where those kids' mother gets killed, and the one boy is so amazed by the Avengers but his sister goes "You forgot all about mom to fanboy over the Avengers!"
>>83491733
Honestly, I think I like Austenvengers better than anything Bendis ever did with them.
>>83492608
That was really lame, Clint.
>>83491733
Just started reading. This doesn't seem so bad.
>>83493092
Is all downhill from here.
>>83493027
The sensitive artist Captain America. The man of many speeches.

I already fapped twice today, but sure thing.
>>83494211
Fuck microsofr and folding Windows 10 brb.
>>83491801
Oh god the lettering. The lettering hurts my eyes so much.
This was the period when Bill Jemas insisted every single Marvel title use upper/lower font because that was how the Ultimate line did it and the Ultimate line was the only one that mattered.
Sometimes it looked OK. The Avengers font was unreadable.
Back
>>83492962
I changed my mind this is awful
>>83493227
I'll give Austen credit, his whole "Hank is abusive" story is tired but at least he bothers to make a case for it based on previous stories.
It's absolutely true that Busiek's stories left it open whether Hank had been cured or if he was just heading for more trouble.
>>83493064
>>83493087
Okay fuck this
>>83494586
One thing I notice about covers from this period is they didn't even pretend to have anything to do with the story inside. They were mostly just generic poses of various characters.
Covers today are still pretty generic but they usually try to have at least something to do with the story inside.
>>83493107
Are you fucking serious
>>83494736
The mood of comics from about 2002-2004 is so soaked in the post-9/11 mood of the country. Everything's a terrorism metaphor and everybody's talking about pre-emptive strikes and the new complicated post-9/11 world.
I'm almost nostalgic for that simpler time. Almost

"I'm glad Wanda found a new and inexplicable use for her powers, we should not be worried about this because it can't possibly come back to bite us in a few months."
>>83494736
Killing people would not have helped Mockingbird not die. She was killed by Mephisto when they went to hell because he was having a pissing match with Satannish. Over the souls of assholes like Stalin and Himmler.
>>83495056
This is all a plot to make us want to see Bendis come in and burn the whole thing down, isn't it
>>83493498
Fucking ghost assholes.
>>83495124
I have yet to read anything in this thread to make me wish for Bendis
Why did they let Austen write this
>>83495124
The Invaders spinoff from this story was not completely terrible, although it did have a some truly lousy art.

SEE THIS IS COMIC BOOKS
>>83492313
Did Cap just one-punch knockout a bruiser who just toppled a 50 foot giant and who used to go up against Thor?
Cap rocking some superstrength in this run?
>>83493107
I forgot this happened. Fuck everything.
>>83495542
hawk'd
>>83493880
That pose sure looks familiar.
Also makes me hungry for chicken.

They were back within like 3 years to form a new Excalibur and beat up Kelsey for not being a Claremont character.
>>83495778
Good taste
The end thanks for reading
>>83496221
Namor got a bit too happy with that execution.
>>83494736
Ow the Edge
>>83496221
this was completely readable PA
if you want to horrortime us with Austen you'll have to post X-Men
>>83494834
Simpler but boring. Also all that TACTICOOL military garbage that came with it. Still beats the current "gotta please progressive hipsters" trend though.
>>83492881
that was actually good, until this page right here.

>Dell Rusk
Really? REALLY?I love it
>>83496545
This
>>83497165
That was Johns.
I can't decide if having the Red Skull pose as "Dell Rusk" is stupid or brilliant. Probably both.
>>83492328
This whole fight is the most amateur hour shit ever.
>>83492492
Yep.
>>83496642
Oh i hated that, i read so many conics that acted like the army was better than superheroes
>>83492686
Coipel is so utterly wasted in this book.
>>83491733
Good lord i thought only spiderman had eras this shitty
>>83495666
>I will get involvedTh-Threesome?

That is an amazingly dickish condition, Brian.

I no longer think Disassembled was a bad idea, thanks.
