A couple of months back, Cavaliere picked on me for buying so many X-books and ignoring great (in his opinion) titles like Avengers Academy. Well, Jeff, I went on a back issue binge and I now have 15 issues of Avengers Academy.

No worries, Cavaliere. You asked me if I would buy Avengers Academy if it had an X in front of it. Truthfully- yes, I would have. I try almost every new X-title though I don't stick it out with all of them. New Mutants has been consistently mediocre whenever I've peeked in for an issue. And I bought Generation Hope, featuring the new young X-team, but quickly dropped it since it wasn't very good. But I didn't want to try an Avengers spin-off as I wasn't buying any of the parent titles. However, your recommendation (as well as the good words by others) convinced me that I was missing out on something out. Then the reprint that was included in an issue of Uncanny X-Men (yes, Marvel wanted mutant readers to try Avengers Academy too) and the guest-arc in Amazing Spider-Man sealed the deal. So I went on a summer shopping spree and bought all of the issues to date (I ordered the last two on Saturday). If anything, you've done me a favor- turning me on to a series that I might not have tried otherwise.

Geez. I sound like a heel.
I sure hope you enjoy them even half as much as I have.
Beware, Cavaliere! Once the Dark Side you enter, forever will it dominate your moderation!
Or something.
Avengers Academy has been pretty good all along. You should like it, Chris!
