The Avengers franchise has been in an almost constant state of flux over the past decade. Marvel is constantly launching or relaunching new Avengers comics, each with their own creative teams, rosters and mission statements. The latest volume of Avengers replaces All-New, All-Different Avengers, retaining writer Mark Waid but welcoming a new artist and pruning the roster. The result is a solid debut issue, but not one that inspires the same level of excitement Waid's Champions #1 did a few weeks ago.
The fact that Avengers and Champions now exist as two distinct books may be the biggest hurdle this new series faces. All-New, All-Different Avengers had its problems, certainly, but the dynamic between veteran heroes like Sam Wilson and Vision and teen rookies like Kamala Khan and Miles Morales made the book worth reading. It loses something crucial in the shift to an all-adult cast. The addition of Hercules and Peter Parker to the mix certainly helps keep the humor level high, but there's still a certain something missing. It doesn't help that this issue represent the dangers involved in pushing Peter's new status quo as a billionaire industrialist too far. He's quickly starting to come across as Tony Stark 2.0 and losing that inherent everyman quality that makes him such an iconic hero in the first place.
