Avengers Academy #27: Homecoming – Part 1

You can listen to the episode by clicking: Episode 153

Hey, guess what. The Runaways are back! And it is Super Bowl Sunday! Let’s see what happens when I try to explain this comic book and what we talk about with just references to Super Bowls Greatest moments.

Beer and Book

First, let’s talk about the Apple in the room. That’s right, the giant sentinel helping to guard the Avengers compound from riff-raff like that Runaways. Not unlike a sledgehammer wielding woman, breaking down the barriers….or wait…Are the Runaways the ones with the hammer?

Cease and Desist

Not unlike Harry Carson drenching Bill Parcells with a bucket of Gatorade has there been another time when a Giant has poured cold water on a fellow Giant. Yet, Hank stops the Sentinel from killing kids….what is this world coming to.

Stop, Giant Time

How about the kitten bowl. No not the halftime entertainment to elicit adorations from your children, I am talking about a kitten in a bowl…like Tigra’s son. She uses this child to distract the defense. Flag on the play.

Not Fair

The hate that Hazmat and Nico have upon their first meeting is not unlike that of the Cowboys and Steelers from Super Bowl X. Sure there is respect, but there is hate….a lot of hate.

Toasty

Super Bowl 56 was the Bengals vs the Rams….and they hyped this by playing Welcome to the Jungle. And during this comic, the kids went to a jungle. What do you want from me. It is the best I could do. 

Jurassic Time

Never has a tackle like the one Old Lace gave Chase been so powerful. Well maybe when Kevin Dyson was Tackled by Mike Jones on a yard away from the goal line to cause the Titans to lose. That one hurt more.

Hugs!

And speaking of dinosaurs, do you remember that time when a big red dinosaur crashed the Super Bowl. Neither did I, because it did not happen yet. But it will. I just need to get this magic amulet to open, and then you will all rue the day.

Friends

Boy that was sure fun, and not at all a last minute scramble as I tried to get this done. GO SPORTS!

  1. Oh wow! Runaways. I really need to finish reading those volumes. That’s going to be a challenge because I’m not positive how much I’ve read. But the completionist in me needs to try.

    This issue was pretty fun, but I’m kinda empty on things to say. Maybe too much going on to pull together any ideas. Ah well, sometimes fun is enough.

    Like listening to you guys! Till next time, my Pack-Men!

    1. Tim!!

      Yeah, I should do the same thing. Don’t know if I will, cause honestly…I keep forgetting about them. Is this a them problem or a me problem? Don’t know, but it is probably more an available time problem on my end of the stick. That said, I have been home sick the past while and read the whole Spider-Man loves Mary Jane run. Why did I do that you might ask? Wel it was because MU suggested it to me, and it was a pretty light read. Nothing groundbreaking, but pleasant.

      As long as you had fun, then it was more than enough. Or should I say Kenough, because I finally saw the Barbie movie and I am smitten with it.

      Like you listening to us and love talking with you. Be well my friend and COSTUMES ON!!

      -Jeff
