Agents of Atlas is the New AoA
I am overjoyed that with the debut of Agents of Atlas that Marvel is finally able to have the letters AoA stand for something that isn't a big steaming pile of crap.
New AoA has a Human Robot and a gun-weilding gorilla. That is refreshing because it is neither from DC nor written by Morrison.
While you are at your local shop buying The Good AoA, don't forget to pick up a copy of What If #9 (v1, June 1978) to catch the back story on the '1950's Avengers' before it gets retconned away or comic shop dealers raise the price because it is the group's 'first appearance'.

Heh, I too felt the need to post that frame, its just fantastic. (And no kids, I'm not suggesting Sleestak cribbed this from me. Great ape loving minds think alike)
ReplyDeleteI'll be away for awhile starting up a cult that worships the Human Gorilla.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Doc. I scanned and edited the image from my copy to remove the annoying lower panels before I posted it.
ReplyDeleteI was going to go with the 'Hot Dog Stand' panel, but someone beat me to it.
I like the four guns a blazin' image though, in spite of my X-reference.
Yeah, I know you did. I just did a quick cut and crop on mine :D
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Avengers Forever, which also starred the 1950ties Avengers.
