An Anal History of the Avengers, Part One: Mockingbird – Better Off Dead
A note before we get started: The Scavenger is a continuity queen. He deeply, deeply loves his Avengers comics, and he shows that love by tearing them to shreds at every opportunity. Of course not every storyline can be his favorite, and the Scavenger forgives the team for their missteps (Deathcry? Seriously?). He is also willing to overlook those little plot hiccups that surface now and again (so, Zemo is alive again?), because he can usually tell that the Avengers’ exploits are being crafted by men and women who share the Scavenger’s love for their history.
Not so these days. Thanks to a friendly push (followed by a forceful shove) from the lovely Saro Spice, the Scavenger has given up on the Avengers for the time being. He simply does not believe that Mr. Bendis shares a love for the Avengers’ history. Frankly, the Scavenger often doubts that Mr. Bendis has read an issue of the Avengers. And even though BMB is the target of this week’s poisoned pen, he is hardly the only offender. Presented for your enjoyment, this is a multi-part examination of those plot points that went completely off the rails. This is An Anal History of the Avengers.
