Setup. Setup. Setup. I know arcs and reboots both need to be set up, but I got to the end of the issue and still feel like I know too little.
I expect to buy #2, but this certainly wasn't an issue that made me run to subscribe. (To be fair, nothing makes me think I won't either…I need to see more of what happens before I can decide in either direction.)

Odin's...declaration to Phoenix about his post-dying plans. Remember Aunt Linda on SNL? Her 'Whaaat?' face? That was my face reading that panel. I'm not sure why I was so viscerally grossed out by it, but there it is.
Beyond that ickiness, I wasn't able to stop myself from comparing pretty much all of the characters and the events in this issue to Justice League: No Justice. The mounting similarities left me frustrated and underwhelmed. I think what I need to know the most is why the current Ghost Rider is (basically) Jason Todd?

If you don't know, Marvel has decided to reboot The Avengers comics and I was very excited for it. I have been trying to get into Marvel comics but wasn't sure how to go about it. With this I was able to. I would say that you may need to read or look up something about the Secret Omega comics to understand at least the beginning bit of this but other than that it was quite easy to follow. There is a lot of characters but I found that each one was really easy to understand and the visual of them helped a lot with that. This is definitely a solid start and set up to the new Avengers comics.

I am... tentatively hopeful about this series.
The Good:
- The boys are back! Marvel's Big Three (Thor, Iron Man and Cap) are reunited and it feels so good! I've been waiting to see them on a team together for quite some time now.
- I liked getting a look at the older teams. Especially the older Iron Fist! That was awesome.
The Eh:
- this is just the first issue but Robbie, Jen and Carol weren't in this a whole lot. I guess that's to be expected
The Bad
- Aaron is wonderful at writing Thor and associated characters. I liked the way Odin and Thor were written (although Odin was a jerk). However, I'm still not 100% sold on the way he writes Cap or Tony. I think this is the first I'm ever reading him touch Tony as a character because Tony was in a coma during Legacy. In this, I felt as though Tony's lines weren't quite right. I can't picture Tony calling Steve and Thor "Old farts". As for Cap, Tony being brain dead and in a coma was a huge deal; even on iffy terms, I find it hard to believe Cap would say "For what? Two weeks? Big deal." What?
That being said, I am hopeful for the future, provided we don't fall into the same old patterns where they all bicker for no good reason. It's been years, I feel safe in saying we don't need ridiculous comments about Tony's ego because he's progressed way past that (and honestly, I feel like that shift towards everyone hating Tony happened with Bendis), we don't need rehashing of Civil War. We will have to deal with Carol's actions during Civil War II though (as out of character as those were).
I think there's a wonderful opportunity here with Tony trying to get back into the swing of things and being on a team again and Cap trying to clear his name after Spencer dragged it through the mud. So, I'm cautiously hopeful. I hope Tony's dialogue gets a lot better, though.
