But seriously, read The Ultimates. It just might be the best Avengers story ever written, and quite possibly can't be topped simply due to the alternate universe, deconstructionist nature of the comic. It's like the Avengers meets Watchmen. Ant-Man puts his wife into the hospital in a domestic squabble, Thor may or may not be a mental patient, the Hulk repeatedly attempts to rape or eat multiple people, Iron Man is still an alcoholic, and Captain America is a cheap, white knighting relic of the 40s. And best of all, it literally predicted Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.

Alright, fine. Give me a link you di

James Garfield is certainly superior to Tobey MaGuire at the very least.

Okay now you're REALLY wrong. I never quite understood why Tobey McGuire got so much slack for that role, I still think he was pretty convincing all things considered. Regardless, Homecoming should kick some major as
s despite the horrible name choice/logo they used when they revealed it.
