I finally read New Avengers #3 yesterday and it was a great read.I loved the ending.It was shocking and I can't wait to see what the consequences will be in the long run.I thought the first two issues were kind of boring except for a few interactions but issue 3 was good.

I feel that that the avengers cover is racist. They are wearing Japanese clothing Captain Marvel: samurai, Spider-Woman :Sailor Moon and rest are ninjas. They are in Hong Kong (Part of China). All asians aren't the same like all caucasian aren't the same.

Sailor Mars / Spider woman ?

@MARVELPSYCHO79 I love New Avengers so far! I put this series after All New X-Men as the best Marvel Now title. #3 should've came in the mail today but I got All New X-Men #7 & Iron Man #6.
Christuffer - 2/11/2013, 11:07 AM
New Avengers is awesome.
MARVELPSYCHO79 - 2/11/2013, 11:13 AM
@Marvel87 You're going to love New Avengers #3.The things that happen in that book are huge.Once you've read it get back to me and tell me how you felt about what happened in it.It's such a great read.Iron Man #6 was a good read too.*SPOILERS* I laughed when Tony was about to have sex with the alien chick and he takes his helmet off to reveal his face and she pukes.Then he leaves her apartment then he says to himself "I need to shave".That was too funny.I agree that I would also put New Avengers with All New X-Men for best Marvel NOW books.

MARVELPSYCHO79 - 2/11/2013, 12:20 PM

SuperSomething616 - 2/11/2013, 12:28 PM
So guess Superior Spider-man does not get fired in April then?

Remember the fired teaser for April...well...well if this is for may...guess this debunks the fired theory...
PsyBoy - 2/11/2013, 12:58 PM
Young Avengers is pretty awesome.
Introspection - 2/11/2013, 1:03 PM
@speedstermike Those aren't Japanese in style they are Chinese. Yes the armor looks similar too samurai but the med-evil armors were very similar.
jimoakley666 - 2/11/2013, 1:14 PM
Some ace covers there. But what the hell is Cannonball wearing? Ha ha ha. Love that dinosaur cover.
speedstermike - 2/11/2013, 1:45 PM
@Introspection those are high shoulder pads, Samurai padding on the shoulders are up http://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&docid=ioimIMksk2d34M&tbnid=4cuqRonRVnWVKM:&ved=0CAgQjRwwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSamurai&ei=x2UZUdr_NoHwiwKR-ICADQ&psig=AFQjCNFnn9Dw9D5Nxvzpz1IWWmlAwkszRQ&ust=1360705351957353

There's nothing racist going on there. It's just an homage to certain popular forms of entertainment.

speedstermike - 2/14/2013, 3:25 PM
Just read it please, I just want people to know because I am Chinese and I find it offensive.
