U.S.Avengers, Issue #2 stars Brazilian-American Billionaire, Roberto Da Costa, A.K.A. Citizen V. He has assembled a team of superheroes called A.I.M., as they are now known, American Intelligence Mechanics. A.I.M. was formerly known as Advanced Idea Mechanics, and before their successful (?) rebranding, they were dedicated to the acquisition of power, money, and prestige. Now they're the good guys, consisting of Citizen V, the Iron Patriot, the Red Hulk, Squirrel Girl, and Enigma.
I'd heard of a few of the characters of U.S.Avengers before I picked up Issue #1 two weeks ago, but I'd only read Jeph Loeb's Red Hulk, and while I love Jeph Loeb's work in general, I didn't particularly take to Red Hulk. The story starts when Captain America 20XX, Danielle Cage, visits from the future to tell of a timeline that didn't happen, an attack by Thanos that was thwarted. It's a decent and (thankfully, since it's bi-weekly) easy-to-read comic, and the characters have caught my eye. I know I'm buying too many comics, but I do think I'll keep this one.
