Ultimate Comics Avengers, Vol. 1: Next Generation by Mark Millar
1.0
I was not really impressed with this incarnation.
First the good, I like the premise of the Red Skull coming back, although I thought it was a bit of a stretch to make him Captain America's son.
Aside from Nick Fury, Hawkeye (more on him later) and Captain America, these are all copies. Tony Stark's older brother created them. They also add in pieces of the Fantastic Four and a VERY twisted Spiderman. This must be the "next generation" the title refers to. I'll stick with the originals. Since when did Black Widow becomes a job description?
Now on to Hawkeye, one of my favourite comic book characters EVER. I hate this incarnation. What is with the costume? The facemask makes him look like some weird science fiction pirate. Also, Hawkeye is SUPPOSED to be an archer, that's part of what makes him so cool. To take that away and give him guns and he's just another vigilante.
