All-New, All-Defamed Avengers #99 – ‘Now the Rhythm is All Right’

Posted on by phil.wrede
We see the faces of Iron Man, She-Hulk, and Captain America on a video call. The title of this comic strip, “All-New, All-Defamed Avengers Presents… ‘Now the Rhythm is All Right’,” is visible at the bottom of the image.
Iron Man and She-Hulk try to calmly discuss whether the coverage of the Avengers in this first episode of the Daily Bugle’s late-night-style talk show, “No Sleep ’Til Jonah,” was libelous or not.
Beast and She-Hulk are clearly willing to bring the full might of their organization to bear against the Bugle, while Captain America still thinks there’s an argument to be made for the free press.
Cap tries to clarify that he doesn’t like what Jonah said on his show, either. Cable accuses Cap of prizing the system as it stands over the uncertainty of trying to build something better.
Cable tells the Avengers that history remembers Cap, and them, more as talkers than as action-takers.
Everybody is so riled up that they sign off the video call all at once.
In the holding cells within Avengers Tower, Baron Zemo tries to get the attention of the Leader.
Zemo tells the Leader that his philosophy is an ancient one, that hearkens back to the classic cultures of Western civilization, and that there is wisdom in it.
When the Leader sounds interested in what Zemo has to say, Klaw starts banging on the walls of his own prison cell, trying to tell the Avengers that it never ends well when a Nazi starts talking to a tech bro!

After the Daily Bugle’s editor-in-chief, J. Jonah Jameson spent not one, but two whole comic strips railing against the Avengers, our heroes had to come together to plan a counter-offensive! If there’s one thing that Earth’s Mightiest Heroes seem to be learning in the Phil Wrede Marvel Action Figure Comic Universe, it’s that you have to fight PR battles before, during, and after you do all the actual fighting!

As for the second part of the story, it’s never a bad thing when a Nazi starts talking to a tech bro, right? Right?
