So, I finished Busiek/Perez Avengers. A nice run all around, can see why it's a classic. It didn't necessarily blow me away, but it had some great moments and really does feel like a bridge between the classic and the modern to me. Also, it had the bonus surprise of Avenger 1 1/2 at the end, a neat little story trying to ape classic era style... complete with Bruce Timm on the art! Didn't even know that existed, but it made for a neat little inclusion.
Oh, random question: I see the Busiek Thunderbolts run just started being rereleased. What are people's thoughts on that? What little popped up in the Avengers omnibus left feeling kind of "eh, I can take it or leave it", but I'm curious as to whether or not anyone has any strong opinions on it.
Also, I admittedly first learned of it via a list from Cracked or Topless Robot or something, but man, that stuff with Carol and Marcus really does have to be one of the most goddamn messed up things to appear in a Marvel comic, ugh.
