Another great special and the first appearance of Reptil. And now I'm going to be back on the main series... Damn, this artist is soooo great and fitting. With his absence the series lost its tone.
Avengers: The Initiative Featuring Reptil #1
Stegron the Dinosaur Man and his dinosaur army launch a campaign of destruction across America! With the Fifty State Initiative in tatters from the fallout of Secret Invasion, Tigra must pull together a squad from the few super humans still fit for duty, including Cloud 9, Komodo, Prodigy...and a brand new recruit. Be here for the debut of Marvel's...
This was so good... Why is this a random easy to miss special and not the main series? While the main series is barely readable, all the good and important stuff happens everywhere else...
Avengers: The Initiative: Special #1
Hardball is among the Initiative's most respected and decorated graduates. He's become a celebrity hero in Las Vegas, with his true love, Komodo, serving nearby in Arizona. But all the while, he's secretly been in the pocket of the terrorist group Hydra! Now everything comes to a head as Komodo finds out the truth...Senator Woodman's evil plan c...

THE INITIATIVE: DISASSEMBLED PART 4 The Shadow Initiative is stuck in Madripoor with no means of escape, hunted by an army of Hydra agents, including Wolverine's old foes, Bloodscream and Roughhouse!
Avengers: The Initiative #23
INITIATIVE DISSASEMBLED PART 3 From the moment it was formed, the Initiative has had more than its share of dark secrets. Now, they've all come out. On top of everything else, can the Initiative survive this?
Avengers: The Initiative #22
INITIATIVE DISSASEMBLED PART 2 New Warriors versus the Thor clone! Shadow Initiative faces down HYDRA in Madripoor!
Ramos was surprisingly cool here! At least 90% of the time.
Avengers: The Initiative #21
INITIATIVE DISSASEMBLED PART 1 Shadow Initiative approaches Madripoor and the Mutant Zero's secret is revealed!
Avengers: The Initiative #20
Acceptable Losses
Who is Mutant Zero? What does Taskmaster want with her? Plus, the Thor clone returns...
Ugh... The artwork is pretty rough and bad, especially when it changes. The story is chaotic and some decisions are not good. It was a bit entertaining, though... And it's funny how it was Crusader who actually deserved the credit for saving the Earth and not Norman Osborn. It's sad no one tried to bring him back after that, especially considering this ending. By the way, those people rallying to more
Avengers: The Initiative #19
Join 3-D MAN, CLOUD 9, KOMODO, HARDBALL, and heroes around America in the battle that will decide the fate of the planet and the future of the Initiative program. Will the Kill Krew Army win the day?
Avengers: The Initiative #18
Now that the Kill Krew knows Skrullowjacket's master plan, can they stop the true mission of the Fifty State Initiative? Plus, Thor Girl vs. Ultra Girl! One is more than she appears to be and the other's a Skrull!
Avengers: The Initiative #17
Join Mutant Zero, Trauma, Bengal, Constrictor, and Ant-Man as they undertake this war's most dangerous mission: to take out the Skrull Spider-Woman! Plus, a new Avenger and more clues as to Mutant Zero's identity!
Avengers: The Initiative #16
The Skrull Kill Krew is back! And they're ready to kill, maim, torture, and butcher every mother lovin' Skrull out there! Also, back at Camp Hammond, Ant-Man is in a giant world of trouble.
Avengers: The Initiative #15
It's up to the Initiative to face off against the first major Skrull strike force! And on the battle field, the cadet with the biggest secret has to choose which side he's really on. Plus, a new low for Ant-Man and a new danger for War Machine!
Wasn't Criti Noll female? Why's she a brother? Nevermind... The Secret Invasion didn't have any sense. The idea was great, but the execution was so-so. At least in all these details, considering how many different characters were involved and how many different writers were using them without knowing they were skrulls.
Avengers: The Initiative #14
The fates of The Initiative, the United States, and Planet Earth hang in the balance. Plus: Former Avenger, Delroy Garret, assumes the mantle and arsenal of Earth's greatest Skrull-Hunter, The 3-D Man.
One-shot like structure fits the series better than story arcs with many parts
Avengers: The Initiative #13
There's a contract out on The Taskmaster, and no shortage of villains willing to fulfill it. But what'll kill him first -- the bad guys, or his latest class of recruits? Welcome Annex, Prodigy, Gorilla Girl, Sunstreak and Batwing to the Initiative.
I love how Slott just can't stop coming up with both weird random forgotten characters from the past and brand new random characters. The one waking up every day with a different power is a cool concept... Such a cool potential and variety it has for an ongoing series, in only the character itself had something beyond this idea. With so many different characters it's hard to give a personality to more
Avengers: The Initiative #12
The first year of the Initiative comes to a close as members are laid to rest, drummed out, declared AWOL, or awarded their full Hero's License. See who graduates and find out what super-teams they'll be assigned to as the next era of the Initiative begins!
It's cool that it answers many questions about the series characters, but the last story was there only to tease the Secret Invasion.
Avengers: The Initiative Annual #1
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY! You have been granted clearance to Camp Hammond's most sensitive files. For the first time anywhere, witness the hidden origins of the GAUNTLET, ARMORY, MVP, and HARDBALL.
Avengers: The Initiative #11
KILLED IN ACTION PART 4 By now you know who KIA is, what he wants, and who he's killed. Initiative regulars, new recruits, and big name characters: no one's been safe. And that's never been more true than here at the bitter end!
ONE WILL DIE!
>A clone kills one of three other clones no one really cares about.
Cool! Such a high stakes!
Avengers: The Initiative #10
KILLED IN ACTION PART 3 Cloud 9 has discovered the identity of the Scarlet Spiders! Just how will the Initiative's resident headcase react to Michael, Van, and Patrick?
Such a mess... It's still has fine moments, but overall I hoped the series would be much beter.
Avengers: The Initiative #9
KILLED IN ACTION PART 2 The Initiative's biggest secret hasn't come back to haunt them, it's come back to kill them! Blood will run, heads will roll, and this time "dead" means DEAD! Say goodbye to at least one regular cast member!
