First, Bendis really mishandles the voices of Storm and Black Panther. Both Storm and BP are regal characters who have a certain air and tone about them. David Liss has captured Black Panther's character excellently in his soon to be ending Black Panther run, even with T'Challa running around New York in an "depowered" state. Unfortunately, Bendis simply treats Black Panther like a commoner and gives the character several cringe-worthy lines of dialogue. Secondly, the introduction of the "real" Vision is mishandled as well. When we last saw Vision, he was in several pieces in a warehouse somewhere in New York. However, Bendis reveals that Stark has been working on repairing characters for years and magically fixed him last week. Mind you, there's been no hint of this occuring in any Iron Man or Avenger book. One would think that the reintroduction of an Avenger that's been "dead" for almost a decade would merit a little pomp or circumstance, but instead, it's given a page and a half of various characters exchanging quips. The one saving grace to this issue is the HAMMER subplot and the last page reveal. To be honest, the new and improved HAMMER seems like the type of threats that the Avengers should be facing and the last page has me hopeful that with this mess of an issue, the series will improve in the near future. Story: 3 Art: 5 Overall: 5 |

I'd say at least a paragraph, and a review must contain at least some indication that you've actually read the comic in question, so no 'meh' or 'this sucked' or 'this was OK'. You actually have to review it, actually have to put some thought into it, otherwise what's the point? |
||
|
||
|
||
The point is, 'your' rule allows for it...
Let's repeat that last part... "There's no right or wrong". Guess there is 'wrong' after all. I did read the book (in store) and the only thing I liked was the art (in particular the painting of the (old) Avengers (the team I much prefer over the current ones)). I've nothing further to add. |
||
|
||
|

Did you forget the part about where I said 'unless you disagree with me'? It's partly a joke, but it gives me the latitude to say that reviewing the wrong Avengers #19 or just saying 'meh' isn't good enough. Just write a proper review and you can be added to the rotation. |

No, that's ridiculous, he's not reviewed the book. |

To be fair, I began enforcing this rule back when I was tyrant. I mean, it's kind of disrespectful to expect people to review your pick when you can't be bothered to give it more than three letters worth of time. If Punchy wants to actually raise the bar on what constitutes a "real" review to prevent people from phoning it in in order to save their spot in the rotation, I don't see an issue with it as long as it's consistent and has easy to follow guidelines. |
