did you watch Thor? Loki fought Thor one on one and did pretty well.

Loki is a God, dude. No human is supposed to be able to touch him. Cap only did as well as he did because he's a super soldier.
Another one of my unproven theories on this movie's plot point: Hawkeye and that Doctor from Thor get mind hijacked. The Doctor was able to fight through it enough to build in a way to stop the device if they had to. Therefore, Hawkeye could've had some control. Moments where this may have occurred include his Black Widow fight, and shooting Fury in the vest at the start of the movie.

Right, cheers, thought I remembered something like that. Also, lol. Black Widow is too good.
Yeah, figured as much. I guess decent level special ops combat skill means fuck all in comic book world. :lol

Just saw this, thought it was funny / poignant.
What If The Male Avengers Posed Like The Female One?

I'm not convinced the failsafe existed because of Selvig's pure will. It's entirely possible Loki himself ordered the failsafe because he didn't trust his handlers completely.
Ya, Loki is shown as part of Thor's retinue during the movie Thor. Presumably he's mixed it up quite a bit in the past.
Read Millar/Hitch Ultimates.
I loved how he shot where he anticipated she would go. At least that's how it looked to me.
I'd give Hawkeye a little break since he wasn't all there when he fought Black Widow.
Hawkeye probably has a special arrow that could take down Cap. Or he'd just take an indirect approach. Shoot an exploding arrow in front of Cap, use like a net arrow or something, some sort of boomerang arrow that turns around and hits from behind.
I mean Cap would still probably win, but I don't think it's as cut and dry as you might think.
He also whipped out an arrow and started stabbing dudes with it like a knife. I thought that was pretty badass.

I just may...saw in that article posted by someone here that Ultimates is a good place to start with the Avengers.
If they're on Comixology I'll probably read them on my upcoming business trip.
Ultimates 1 and 2 are amazing. Stop after that though. 3 doesn't exist.

Yup it's pretty good. Ultimates 1 is only 14 issues too.
3 is shit, o gawd
Is Ultimate Comics Avengers any good? I never really gave it a shot after that entire continuity got pulled through the shitter.

Well, when Waid and Garney took back over after Heroes Reborn it was not as good.
But Ultimates does show Cap at supreme levels of badass, but his personality is just complete douchbag and it ruins him for me. Give me a movie with classic Cap personality (like the movies have so far) but with him kicking ass as hard as he did in Ultimates and you will make everyone happy.
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
not when everyone else has been tragically altered, have a super powered element, or is a near cosmic entity
This.
50 yards would allow Hawkeye maybe two shots, first shot would probably be expected to be blocked so it might be a feint with the second the true shot but that is with Cap coming full steam.
1&2 are awesome. they influenced the movies quite a bit. and also Sam Jackson as Nick Fury was from the comics first.
edit: we're talking about Ultimates right?
Not really. I can't even remember what happened. Or maybe I didn't finish it.
No, it's this:

Old, and lame as ever. Male & females are drawn differently. dealwithit.jpg
And don't forget that Loki pretty much handed Capt America his ass before IM showed up.

Absolutely amazing, I've been collecting comics since I was a kid and somehow just kinda missed out when they were coming out. I went and bought Ultimates 1 and Ultimates 2 in hardcover. Read both in two days. Just amazing, and really these movies take alot more queues from the Ultimates than the regular Avengers.
It's not the Ultimates he's referring to, but Ultimate Comics: Avengers. It came after Ultimates 3.
Yeah, that's what I was asking about. Original Ultimates was great, but after that universe got Loeb'd I never read anything post-that.
I mean that first run. Some of the best comics I ever read. Theyre available in Comixology, I might have to re-read them.

Seems like people here hate Ultimates 3, but who else likes Ultimatum, even if for its premise?

Their initial run before the Heroes Reborn shit was fantastic stuff, I will agree. It is funny because they were given the book pretty much knowing it was going to get killed for the Reborn stuff, and they wound up turning it into one of the best books and people were pissed they killed it.

Ultimates 1 is available for 2 bucks an issue on Comixology ($28), or you can buy Vol. 1 (1-6) for $11 and Vol. 2 (7-14) for $15.
...anyone know if the experience is at all different buying them in volumes vs. a la carte?

Oh god I'm confused.
Okay okay.
If I was to buy an avengers anthology... which series would I go for? Assuming there is a bound book for it?
ah ok
I don't think it is
I think they still download as individual comics
Or at least they did, dunno if they offer trades now
Captain America Vol.1 issues 444-454, in case anyone is curious. I guarantee you will love it.
I was going to say Avengers Assemble by Kurt Busiek but I just checked Amazon and volume 1 is going for £90 so er, yeah.

Digital version is available on Nook. Not sure about other places. And the first two volumes of the Busiek/Perez run are fantastic. Especially volume 2, as it has Ultron Unlimited.
I've been enjoying the old school Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers paperbacks. Been reading them at lunch, at the office. :lol

so what are the current numbers and how far from AVATAR is the film? 1st week numbers.
I know every book store I have been in has tables full of Avengers trade paperbacks where normally their trade selection would be Long Halloween, Maus and an Ultimate Spider-Man book
I'll ask around at the owners I know, but the previous movies have all increased sales by a moderate amount so I imagine The Avengers is going to increase that even moreso. That coupled with Free Comic Book Day being the same weekend as the release of the movie probably skyrocketed Comic Sales for the weekend.

It would have to average something like $175M worldwide for the next 12 weeks to tie Avatar's worldwide total.
Also it had Kang War as well didn't it?
