Avengers (Vol. I) #59

The Name Is Yellowjacket

Avengers (Vol. I) #59Now, who's that strange and cocky new hero? He's called Yellowjacket and he surely is taken with himself, wanting to become an Avengers, claiming to have killed Goliath... and chewing gum at the same time! How can later the Wasp claims that she wants to marry that individual?

Another incredible turning point (wasn't that a good time to read the book?). Well, it was obvious at who really was Yellowjacket, but the treatment remains very ingenious. With the recent revelations on Ultron's origins and YJ's attitude, what was Roy Thomas' real feelings towards Henry Pym?

With great humor and suspense, we can enjoy the team's reaction to all this mystery. Do these feelings look true to you? If not, check out, as already pointed out, the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (Vol. II) series, which reveals another layer.

Let's point out that after this, our new buddy Yellowjacket is transported to play his part in the Avengers Forever mini-series, still successfull at being a pain-in-the-ass (and also more bubble-gum chewing).
