Previous Episode: Marvel Firsts - X-Men

Milksops Assemble! We go over Avengers #1. It's crazy and also good in the way a lot of early Marvel stuff is both crazy and good. Kirby's art is great. The inventiveness is BIG. The leaps is logic to justify the plot are .... ALSO VERY BIG. Big jumps. Why Hulk decides to "hide out" by posing as a robot in a circus is never going to make sense. Never mind that he... doesn't look like a robot when he's in disguise, He just looks like the Hulk with the smallest amount of clown makeup on. Or why Loki uses his power of illusion to lure the Hulk, rather than just... make an illusion of the Hulk. Or the fact that Thor doesn't really need the others. Or that the Wasp rides a flying ant across the country, or ... at all. But you know what? This issue is somehow really fun? Make mine Marvel!
