Great Lakes Avengers #1-4 (2005): Misassembled!

GLA comics never matter. But they’re often fun. This series is no exception, starting with that cover paying tribute to New Avengers #1.

These issues offer an origin story for Mr. Immortal.

This is followed by the history of how the GLA first assembled (or “misassembled” per the story title).

Grasshopper is introduced…

We also get some other new members: Squirrel Girl and Monkey Boy.

They join as a result of a recruitment drive…

Most established heroes say no thank you.

I am NOT tagging all these folks.

Monkey Joe is Squirrel Girl’s sidekick, and he serves primarily as narrator–and as a ghost because he dies in the story.

Doctor Doom is so frickin’ eeeeevil.

Nothing here is important, but it’s all a blast to read.
