"See Rick Jones and his Teen Brigade imprisoned in the Dungeon of Doom!" - best cover blurb yet. Now if they would only stay in the dungeon...

	I don't mind the Teen Brigade that much (am I the only one who doesn't hate them?), but the Wasp can stay down in my opinion. I seem to be developing a personal vendetta against her...

	This guy's a knock off Doctor Doom, but this issue was good.

	You're not the only one, Darkdragonne. I actually quite like the Teen Bridage as well. In fact, I kind of agree about the Wasp too. She's almost every bit as irritating as an actual wasp. How appropriate, really!

	I was shocked that this was a pretty good issue. I wasn't expecting that. I've been so disappointed by the Avengers so far.

	In spite of the teen brigade this wasn't too bad.

	i really can't be doing with the teen brigade. its not so much the teen brigade its just that there is a team called team brigade. i really hate rick jones as caps "sidekick". i don't really mind him in the hulk though.

	Amazing that the wasp becomes one of the most important avengers.

	Ah! So that is where all those random castles come from, the Maggia.
