Thanks! It helps to fangirl characters like crazy, I guess.
it makes me really, really want to go back and read all the Avengers canon I can find
After Civil War plus the Ultimate Avengers cartoon (which is much closer to regular comics canon than to Ultimates, because the writers de-Millared it) made me realize I needed to read everything with Cap and Tony in it ever, I acquired a bunch of back issues via a friend with bittorrent. Disassembled made me cry--and hate the Scarlet Witch with a skin-crawling hatred I've rarely felt for a fictional character.
The really old stuff from the 60s is especially entertaining. Everybody states the obvious all the time (With exclamation points! Lots of them!) and there's absolutely no plot (Look! Aliens have attacked for no reason! Let's fight them! Also, there are Nazis! Living in the jungle!) yet the characterization is still pretty decent.
