Avengers #1 - Once an Avenger...



Writer: Kurt Busiek
Penciler: George Perez

The Avengers return from being temporarily dead something something handwave let's never talk about that last storyline again, guys; we relaunched this title for a reason and discover that random villains all over the world are attacking former Avengers. The only solution is to reassemble!

And drink tea with Jarvis. Lots of tea. And bring Thor some mead and that cold mutton from the refrigerator.

It's interesting to see how much influence Stan Lee's writing style still has over later Marvel writers. There's the same declaiming, the same portentous captions ("From now on, where the Moon Night glides -- he glides alone.") However, there are also more subtle touches, like the auditorium scene where all the Avengers are trying to get as far away from D-Man as possible. There's also the wacky stuff, like zombie conquistadores.

When I read through the issue there were particular parts of the narrative which I heard in Stan Lee's voice. Your quote being one of the shining examples. I've been marathoning books from the early 2000s and I honestly wasn't expecting so much classic Stan Lee in this period.
