![]() I'm currently about 68% finished with a year-long project to reorganize my comics midden (I only spend a few hours every other week on it, which is why it's taking so long I have a lot of comic books in long boxes, but not that many), and am just now finishing up the Marvel teams portion of my collection. by any means necessary!Ĭollecting AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE #20-35, AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE SPECIAL and AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE FEATURING REPTIL. ![]() Hunted by the law, hidden from sight, a Resistance has formed - and its members are out to stop H.A.M.M.E.R. But those who once made up the Initiative aren’t about to let this happen. now trains tomorrow’s Dark Avengers! The new principals are Taskmaster and the Hood, and they’re registering villains as heroes and spreading Norman’s empire across the nation. ![]() Where Camp Hammond once trained future Avengers, Camp H.A.M.M.E.R. In the wake of the Skrull Invasion, the public has lost faith in the Initiative! What a time for Reptil to make his mark on the Marvel Universe! As storm clouds gather, the members of the black-ops Shadow Initiative must abduct one of their own - who has defected to Hydra! But Norman Osborn’s Dark Reign changes everything. Penciled by STEVEN KURTH, HUMBERTO RAMOS, RAFA SANDOVAL, JORGE MOLINA, MAHMUD ASRAR & STEVE UY The last issue I read.let's see.was the one where he met newly-elected President Barack Obama.? So yeah, I'm about eight years behind now.ĪVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE - THE COMPLETE COLLECTION VOL. I am so behind on Amazing Spider-Man at this point though I don't think I'll ever catch up, or even be able to figure out how to catch-up. I like this Spider-Mobile looking car thing. It's a little like sharing a now famous and successful writers work from high school just because you have access to it, you know? Granted, Jim Lee in the early '90s was still a pretty okay artist, and was hella popular, but those aren't exactly the best examples of his work anymore.Īs to the comics that will be appearing under those variant covers, well, read on for some thoughts on a few of the ones that jumped out at me this month. ![]() It makes me wonder what Lee thinks about it, and what Marvel's motivation was, exactly like, are they trolling him here? Will he get paid for each of these, or does Marvel own all those images with his signature on him, and he's already made all the money he's going to make from them, not getting any sort of royalty? If he is getting paid, then that's also kind of weird, given his current position.īut considering that these images all seem like they must have been created around 25 years or so ago now, it seems deeply unfair to Lee. For one, it seems like a weird, roundabout way to get variant covers from superstar comics artist and DC Comics Co-Publisher Jim Lee for most of your books. That's kind of weird, even by the standards of modern variant covers. The images above are those from Avengers, Uncanny Avengers and Generation X, respectively. If you read through Marvel's solicitations for the comics they intend to publish in July of this year, which you can do here, you'll see repeated references to "X-Men trading card variant." From the examples (or should I sa x-amples?) seen, these appear to be Jim Lee-drawn trading cards from the early '90s, presumably blown-up to comic book cover size.
