This reminds me JB - I *finally* made it to NYC this past summer to experience it. I recognized the rooftop water towers from the comic books, and, of course, your skyscraper windows and window shades.

So... let's talk about the Avengers. That shot of the mansion is enough to warm one's cockles (and let's face it, who wants cold cockles.) And yes, you included my favorite Avenger, far and away. THE Avenger, one might even state. Edwin Jarvis. One of the worst things about the Iron Man movies is that Jarvis is the suit's AI instead of that character who holds the Avengers together by supporting their infrastructure.

It's also refreshing to see ONE team of X-Men without having to track characters and teams and scorecards... BLECHH. This is an era when we know who the X-Men are, who the graduates are, and that settles that. Not to say that I don't want to see more, new X-Men... but I am confident that Mr. Byrne would do it organically.

In trying to preserve that sense of wonder that I'm feeling, I'm forcing myself to resist the urge to speculate about what may come to pass in the story and just "be along for the ride" again. But man is that difficult. Really hope this series comes to pass, just so we can see where you'll go with it.
