I just picked up my copy of Avengers: The Initiative #1, and I have to say, even though I enjoyed it, doesn't it kinda feel like the premise is a little overdone?
It feels like it's just another story about an unusual high school of up-and-coming teenage superheroes. I mean, it's got everyone:
-Popular but secretly sensitive jock: MVP(i know, he's dead now, but he did still fit the role perfectly)
-Shy but secretly sexy girl: Cloud 9
-Creepy emo guy: Trauma
-Beautiful girl from a rich/powerful family: Thor Girl
-Angry-looking, probably punk girl: Komodo
-Goofy guy who's only there for comic relief: Slapstick
-Harsh drill sergeant-type instructor: Gauntlet
-Kinder, quieter, more attentive instructor: Justice
-Rarely seen principal: Iron Man
It just feels so freakin overdone and rehashed. Luckily, volume 2 comes out real soon though, so let's hope they decide to start making it a little more original.
