Last time, Striker told Jocasta about his past and after failing to hook up with Finesse seemed to have better luck with Veil, who was heartbroken after seeing Justice and Ultragirl together. But he surprisingly turned her down. The group was also attacked by Whrilwind and were able to defeat him... but the entire attack was essentially a stunt set up by Striker and his mother to get Striker more attention. Reptil also began talking with Jessica Jones as it seemed like his dreams of being a superhero were starting to clash with the reality of it.Pym had gone back to his Giant-Man identity and during a prisoner transference the Absorbing Man escaped. He seemed to have the upper hand but Pym grew himself and Creel to the size of the Overspace, where the universal entities resided, which mindbroke Creel. Pym had also been thinking of trying to bring Janet back, who was trapped in Underspace after the Secret Invasion, but decided against it for now not knowing what state her mind was in. Afterwards, the kids saw the tape of what Hood did to Tigra and Striker, Finesse and Veil decided to get payback, tracking down and viciously beating the Hood while filming it and releasing the video online. Instead of being happy, though, Tigra was furious with them and told them that they'd be expelled.Today is Avengers Academy #9-12.Previous >>155087307

Are Taskmaster's memory problems still a thing or is that something that's just been subtly dropped or forgotten about?
Issue 10
Remember when Bendis gave Noh-Varr this stupid costume and name? Remember those few years where they were trying really hard to make Noh-Varr a thing and it didn't work because he sucks and is a boring asshole?
>>155103128lol penance
>>155103186God that whole thing was so dumb.
>>155103324This girl makes very bad choices
Issue 11
>>155102759I think it's been mostly forgotten about, ironically. At least, in most recent appearances he seems perfectly fine. He's not calling back a lot, but it's not like that one mini he had where it's the whole point of the mini. Due to the nature of it though, it's pretty easy to write back in at any point. Hope they don't, making him mopey about a bum memory is a shit thing to do to Taskmaster.
>>155103632mooooooom, Thor's jobbing again
>>155103105>Pym teaching the kids how to make FentSurely this won't age poorly.
Issue 12
>>155103216>Cobalt MenMore like 'we have Ultron at home' with those costumes.
>>155103919Oh right those two were married for five seconds
>>155103960This guy sucks!
>>155103981You try dying, pal. See if you want to go another round with a mad god after that.
>>155104034There's a mad god on the loose where's he going, mcdonalds?
That's all for today. Next time is Avengers Academy #13-14.1.
>>155104120Do feel bad for the kids. Cosmic Cubes around every corner and the best Pym can do for them is "Well, I'm looking into it."Not like it's wholly his fault, either. That's just the rub sometimes.
What a fun cast of characters, I sure hope they're around for years to come and nothing absolutely retarded happens to them.

>>155105644>this reduced anon's hearts by 1
I forgot this series had the stupid dinosaur kid from the midget show.
>>155102776Audrey Hepburn?
>>155106541Wouldn't surprise me. What happened to McKone anyway? He seemed to be a big or at least just below bigger name artist at the time since he'd did Exiles, Johns' Teen Titans, Fantastic Four with JMS and then basically seems to have disappeared after his time on this series. Is he just in cover/variant cover purgatory?
>>155102505"Part 65"?? Well DAMN...
>>155102709That's an, uh, interesting pose for Finesse in the second panel there.
>>155102709>>155102724Probably the hardest Taskmaster's ever been, to my memory. Certainly a contrast from Dark Reign and especially Simone's Deadpool (or Agent X, fuck me if I remember).
>>155102819I actually recently went back and read the Hood's original mini. Kind of a shame what immediately happened to him. Another Bendis special!
>>155103581A pretty common thing, huh? Claremont, bless his perverted heart, frequently aged people down and up. Then the YA got to see themselves older that one time, and here we have the AA doing it too.
