It still seems strange that this comic book I picked up at the newsagent
when I was nine years old, and read throughout the entire 1990s without knowing
another reader, became the world’s current biggest movie franchise. But so it
is. To mark the release of the new Avengers movie, ‘Age of Ultron’, here are
some Avengers-related links:
These
are the 50 greatest Avengers stories as voted for by the knowledgeable Comic
Book Resources readers. A
few months back I came up with my own recommended reading list.
The Wall Street Journal
looks at the colours of Avengers covers over their 50 year history. The
Avengers’ world has gotten somewhat darker.
Walt Hickey at Fivethirtyeight seems like a bit of an Avengers fan. His
recent articles include which
Avengers are most likely to show up in future movies, how
the Avengers’ movie line-up is stuck in the 1970s, and the
physics of Thor’s hammer and Captain America’s shield.
A list of the 9 ‘worst’
Avengers, and
another similar list, though called the 10 ‘lamest’. While I wholly support
Doctor Druid’s appearance on these types of lists I actually quite like
Starfox. On the subject of the ‘worst’ of the Avengers here
are the 10 dumbest Avengers moments Stan Lee ever wrote.
Yes, I like the Avengers and have written a lot
about them myself. One of my first big topics on this blog was a
pseudo-critical history of the Avengers. I also posted what
would be my Avengers team if I was in charge. And finally here
was my review of the first Avengers movie. I saw the second movie
yesterday, so I’ll post my review of that sometime soon.
