Avengers Assemble
Two unlettered pages from Mighty Avengers #30.

Last issue, Stature finally managed to recover the ability to tell the rest of the group about the Unspoken's rampage in China, which necessitates bringing in everybody and their dog.

Sean Chen's Cho is either ten years old, a pygmy, or both, but otherwise it's nice art (Jarvis's obvious enjoyment at having so many old hands around in particular).

The interview with Dan Slott from whence these (and more) came is here. I do like the mention in the interview of the first meeting between New Cap and USAgent being in this issue.

Edit: Actually, there's a lettered preview for this issue out too now.

Well I think it's all about the circumstances of the titles they're in. And none of them have solo titles because Marvel doesn't feel that they have the fanbases to support their own ongoing books.

The Young Avengers don't have an ongoing book but they do constantly get miniserieses (I think the next one was recently announced. Avengers: Children's Crusade with Heinberg and Cheung).

Runaways was put on hiatus because of low sales.

Northstar is a part of this "revolving cast" in Uncanny. But he is very much the definition of window dressing, but that's par for the course with Matt Fraction on Uncanny, Northstar gets about as much focus as any character who isn't Cyclops, Beast, Emma, Pixie or the X-Club. But at least Karma is on New Mutants, and Shatterstar and Rictor are in X-Factor.
