When Batgirl 1 bites
When Jeph Loeb writes
When I'm feeling sad
I simply read MA Avengers
And then I don't feel so bad

Alright, so I read through some Marvel Adventures Avengers as research for a Peter/MJ story (Plug! So cheap!) and here are a few things I now know I love.

Jan!

Jan-sized hugs! (And Hank likes it, although who wouldn’t like being scrunched up against Storm and Janet Van Dyne?).

Spidey!

The Dark Avengers, MODOK-style!

~~Jarvis not keeping the Quinjet clean~~ Snakes!

Spider-stand-up!

Logan's squee!

Hawkeye!

Armin Zola's body!

Luke Cage's momma!

Mini-Marvels!

Tony Stark fishing (with science!).

Ka-Zar learning to drive!

Avengers in time!

Tigra's (nonexistent) power over cats!

	Marvel Adventures come in handy digest format! (Reply to this) (Parent)

The Marvel Adventures books (Avengers, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, Fantastic Four, and Super-Heroes) come collected in handy four-issue digests (or sometimes three issues and an annual). You can find them for cheap on Amazon.com, and most of them are even part of this 4-for-3 promotion, buy four and the cheapest one is free.

I should note that these books aren't quite part of a continuous universe. Frex, in one of these pages Spider-Man (who's an adult here) says he's never heard of Hawkeye. Yet in his book, he (as a teenager) teamed up with Hawkeye against Frankenstein (really) and had heard of previously.

	It comes out in five-issue digests that you can get online or in the kiddie section of the bookstore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I saw that preview image before I knew what was being posted. It didn't really register until I had paged down a couple of times, and I only caught a glimpse. An orange catlady ordering shirtless, muscley dudes to attack a dark haired woman? Oh god. (http://asylums.insanejournal.com/scans_daily/690409.html?thread=17288937#t17288937) (Reply to this)

	I've considered posting some Mini-Marvels but I'm not sure how the rules apply. Some stories are posted in different sizes in different issues. I think that Super Skrull one had been both part of a five or six page story and also a single page gag. (Reply to this)

Thank you for these. =)

Luke Cage being dragged by the ear by his mother is absolutely gut-busting hilarious! Seriously, there should be more stories with Mrs. Cage; we need more kick-ass grandparents and parental figures in comics like Alfred Pennyworth and Aunt May and Master Splinter.

But I'm a little disappointed in Luke and Tony trying to cheat at the fishing bet. Seriously, whatever happened to "may the best man win"?
