Initially, Marvel's early 60s solo heroes (minus the two Steve Ditko was working on) coming together as a team.
Then as Avengers built up it's own cast of characters who belonged to that book, the appeal like with most team books is that it's those characters, as well as the solo book guys. A good Avengers run has as much focus on the soap opera of the team's lives as it does on fights.
You just know anyone seething about the very existence of the Avengers is an X-gay who just can't handle no longer being on top of the mountain. They don't even have to say it.
Depends on the team. Personalities clashing and comraderies forming is always great.
>the appeal like with most team books is that it's those characters, as well as the solo book guys
The current run not having this is why I'm finding it pretty boring. Vision is the only member without a book of his own on the team and the rest are all boring picks regardless.

how many books avengers have?
JLA is a lame collection of legacy characters ripping off their predecessors with a couple of salty losers who resented not being full time JSA members who now consider themselves the Trinity. There’s a lot of resentment behind the scenes in the DCU. Alan Scott knows he’d still be straight if not for letting Superman and Batman start the JLA using Hal.
Team books are good when they're conceived as such, like the FF or the Metal Men, or the TMNT. It's crossover events encroaching into normalcy that give team books a bad name.
There’s something inherently shitty about an Avengers ongoing. They’re more like a disaster response squad rather than a real team who are all best friends like the Justice League. They should keep Avengers meetups to events.
The Octessence was my first experience with big crossover event stories, back when I read Spider-Man as a kid. I liked it and still think it's way better than the trash that came later like civil war and that moronic one where everyone becomes possessed by Odin's evil brother.
there isn't much to be honest. they are very generic villain of the month meat n potatoes book. in a way, they are the epitome of capeshit. JLA at least has some grand epic stakes. Avengers are basically JLA, but done ironically
I'm not sure who all those Avengers are.
his best roster
To ruin good comics with a shared universe
He's asking about the Avengers, not the X-Men.

The characters.
JLA but lamer

They don't all have to be friends
Originally? A team book to shill the individual members’ solo books.
I'd forgot about Busiek's autistic take on all the marvel major-demons having an earthly avatar, expanding out on Cyttorak's usage of Juggernaut.
And now I'll go back to happily forgetting this fanfic-level bilge.

How do we take the B listers and make them a compelling team

I really like the whole period since Cap's Kooky Quartet until Johns run. It has some lame runs in-between but I still enjoy it
shilling until #16, then it's pure gold
