Avengers - the Initiative #2 - Marvel


This is a pretty cool book. We're going to get to see a whole bunch of new heroes here. And one of our first favorites? MVP? I don't think we've seen the last of him yet. We may not see him directly. Or in action. But I have the feeling his DNA is going to be used to make a lot of changes, or enhancements in a lot of our young heroes. I'm not sure how that angle is all going to play out yet, but I'm sure it's going to be used. We also get our first team name this issue, it's the Rangers who work out of Texas, who are the first to engage a HYDRA heli-carrier that transports in to airspace over the "Western White House". This of course brings a lot of our new heroes, with their instructors, to the battle to try to avert this threat. We see War Machine, Wonder Man, Hank Pym, Justice. Oh, and Firebird is part of the Rangers. Anyways, they avert the threat, Hank has to play the hero, because Trauma really shook his cage, and Gyrich takes Trauma deep in to the bunker to get individual attention from his very own tutor . . . . . well . . . . we won't find out who that is until next issue. All we know is that she's one of the X-men, Hank accompanies her here, and she's been powerless since M-Day. Hmmm. Who could it be? But, like I said, it's a pretty cool book so far. It's really a team book. But kind of like an all-encompassing team, from which 50 sub-teams will emerge. Plus I imagine that SHEILD's going to have to have their main team. As it's enforcers. Or . . . hall monitors . . . or whatever. Anyways, it's captured my attention, and I'm interested in seeing where this is all going to go.
