Ultimate Comics Avengers, Vol. 1: Next Generation by Mark Millar
2.0
Maybe it was a mistake to start reading this one as my first comic on the Ultimate Universe. Maybe that was why I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted. But, normally, I really like reading this kind of adventures, plus, Mark Millar is such a good writer that I honestly thought I was going to love it.
But the truth is that I've found it overly-violent, the characters are ALL pretty awful with each other, and part of the main problem is so... dumb. Plus, I still don't know if Steve Rogers was an asshole because he was suffering (and stupid, let's be honest, all of his strategic logic is simply not there) or he's just an asshole all the time. And I LOVE Captain America; for me to say that I didn't like Steve... Well. Yeah. That's enough of a statement.And can we please kill the Starks? No, seriously, I can't stand Gregory, and Tony is so, so apathetic here.
I think the story as a whole wasn't that bad. But the details, the hows and whys didn't work for me. And that's ok. Maybe they'll work for someone else. Maybe someone else will find Cap's sense of humor here funny or is going to find relatable the fact that none of the characters try to be a team. Anyway, I don't think I'm going to read the rest of this universe, but I'm glad to know about it. The art is amazing, though.
