Yep, Bendis brought the Wasp back to life and fandom let out a collective shrug, maybe because Bendis doesn't even seem to be pretending like he cares anymore.

The last Bendis issue of Avengers came out this week. Next week is the last Bendis issue of New Avengers.
All the toys have been safely and carefully put back in the box for Hickman to play with. This after the lies eight years ago that there would be genuine and lasting changes.
More tedium follows in Bendis' ridiculously overlong farewell letter, a mixture of grandiosity, boasts, half-truths, and outright lies.
It's sad to see a talented, if incredibly erratic, writer sink to such depths. It almost makes me not want to follow All-New X-Men any further, even though I liked the first issue a lot.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Bendis.

I've been burned on this title too many times.
I'll keep trying Uncanny Avengers and Wolverine and the X-Men is hit or miss ... due solely to Marvel's messing with Aaron. actually I think it's more like "home run or strike out" which is getting tedious for me.

So I take it you have no interest in Hickman's "Legion of Avengers"?
Funny thing is, I once read an interview with Roger Stern where he said that the original reason for creating the West Coast Avengers was so that he could have one huge team for one book, picking and mixing characters as he desired. I wonder if that's what Hickman has in mind, only spread out across two books?

He's always been a jerk, but that's fun in a group dynamic, he fits in with the new "mixing X-Men with Avengers" theme, he actually has a bit of history with Iron Man, he's been around long enough to be legitimate and he's the been the premiere hero of his country for years. Oh, and he was in "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends!" and kissed Firestar, which just makes him cool
YES!! Haha .... (oh, in case you hadn't heard, Sunfire will indeed be joining the ranks of Uncanny Avengers...)
And about the Wasp, even though her return was basically inevitable, I was actually able to get into Jan & gang's joy at seeing each other again.
Funny that over in "Minimum Carnage" there's another Microverse story going on featuring Rann, Bug and Marionette.

I actually really like Sunfire ... but does he have a body again or is he just a burning skeleton still?

I like Sunfire, too. Unfortunately, he's in the Remender Avengers book, not either of the Hickman Avengers books. Pass.

I was not able to. This whole "Teh Definitive Avengers, Teh Heart and Soul of the Team" B.S. makes me sick. It's the reason I haven't wholeheartedly enjoyed Avengers since 1994.

SECRET AVENGERS- a certain something happens that's already shown to not be true in titles that take place after the current storyline. Right?
