Ummm, hi… when did Avengers: The Initiative suddenly get really freakin’ awesome? Oh, that’s right, this week. I have been reading The Initiative from the beginning to various reactions. Most months it is “that was pretty good” and some months it is “meh, that was just ok.” I have yet to be really blown away by the series. That isn’t to say that the writing and art isn’t good, cause it is. The problem is that you really don’t get to care about the characters, so the depth of character isn’t really there and the fighting kind of lacks, so there isn’t much action to get you into the book either. What results is a usually slow moving tale about the training of these young recruits.

That completely changed in The Initiative #15.
