I know how comic books can help ease that feeling of isolation, and I couldn’t be more proud or excited about the talent we’ve pulled together for this project!”

@transformers1024: yes you should be very ashamed!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like you're the type of person who should read this.

@theamazingimmortalman: Maybe it's just the way it's drawn.. I don't know but whatever it was it really did make my morning!

@transformers1024: Don't feel bad, comedy is derived from laughing at other people's misfortune, it's written into our DNA.

lol Angela had to put on a hoodie.

Now this is something that should be out, coming from a once bullied "fat" kid.

But.....

Instead of doing this, they should introduce a hero who is overweight and bullied by peers.Now that would be awesome!!!

That is awesome. Avengers looks like hero :) :) no more genocide and decide to kill millions of people

What with the whole aftermath of AXIS, and everyone acting like a douchebag, this seems like a stretch for the characters atm. :/

Political correctness, political correctness everywhere.

Star-Lord wearing the I'm Not Daredevil shirt is awesome

They kind of did, back in Avengers: The Initiative. A kid named Boulder (or Butterball), who managed to actually win over Taskmaster and Constrictor. heh

bullying is part of human nature

where do they look like heroes? I see a robot attacking the city, and they just turn their backs

lol the one with the fat kid made me laugh

This doesn't really make any sense with Superior Iron man and Falcon , would be fine if it were a separate issue not tied in with the current marvel runs but I can't see Tony going from evil douche to suddenly wanting to stop bullying for an issue.

They tied the fat kid to a flagpole, I'm sorry, but that was hilarious.

*cough*PANDERING*cough*

If you read the last panel from right to left, it looks as if Spidey kidnapped the fat kid, tied him to a flag pole and left him there.

...Ok?

LOL

Wait the Avengers can barely stop serial killers, street gangs, and intergalactic dictators how can they stop bullying when all they do is fight other heroes.

Also the only hero who can stop bullying is the Punisher lol.

Dear god that is so perfect :)

@mrnoital: You win the internet for today.

Only closed minds would think that this is 'pandering' or PC. I think this is cool. I used to be bullied, until I started kicking asses. Kids should start fighting back.

LOL

I love Carlo Barberi's art and all but my god. He never seems to stay on a book for more than 3 issues (or 4 if you're lucky). :/

Ironic considering almost every Marvel hero is a bully to their respective villians.

Well.... can't they just travel back in time..... to when I was a kid......?

This anti-bullying message will be completely negated when anyone reads any of the encounters between Marvel's A and B list heroes and the Great Lakes Avengers. They don't physically bully them but every time the GLA show up they talk down to them, insult them and most of the time exclude them from everything.

So how come its okay for them to bully people but its bad for regular people to bully?

This... this made my day

NERDS!

Art's awesome Clint's looking fly. Also all those people complaining about the anti-bullying covers are you happy now? They made an issue dedicated to it, not just variant covers.

I like this idea. However it won't stop bullying which is truly a shame. But a nice idea is a nice idea.

Annnnnd you win the internet.

You mean like...

ooh angela. guess I will pick it up

@fuzzylittlerodent:

LOL

ahahahahaha

Yeah, there will always be bullying but if enough awareness is given to it there's chance of stopping it from going totally overboard as in the case of the obese kid & Spidey strip.

That level of bullying actually warrants an investigation by the juvenile court...

@boynerdgeek: How did they commit Genocide. Genocide is the systematic killing of an ethnicity.

I know this is a really reeeally old post to reply but... good freaking job m8! LMAO
