I just wanted to mention how utterly impressed I am by the last 3.5 weeks of Cliffhanging goodness. While I'm perfectly fine with the regular sporadic updates, this veritable slew of material - with great variety and quality - is not going unappreciated.
As for the Avengers fiver... I find comic fivers an interesting development. It's a bit surprising, as I don't know how many readers are even comic-book fans, and moreover - there are so many different ones, that few people follow enough titles for any one issue to get wide recognition. This particular issue all the moreso - I happen to be just familiar enough with Marvel and the Avengers to recognize most of the names, and I think I'm on the high end of comic-appreciation around here.

On the other hand... it's just cool. Comic trope are generic enough that I got most of the jokes. Especially loved:
Quote:
Army of Ultrons: DESTROY!
Captain Britain: Wait, Ultron? Isn't he dead?
Cap: Wasn't Jack? Wasn't Vision? Weren't you?
Captain Britain: Oh. So I can stop being sad about Scott?
Cap: No, his death is permanent and devastating.
So good luck, well done, and much YAYness and rejoicement for everybody!
