I’m so sick of the drama in Marvel like I seriously would do anything for a Domestic Avengers book ok I’d read about them picking up their dry cleaning and vacuuming the living room over them fighting each other ANY DAY
Bonus, when Steve is upset he vacuums the living room shirtless.

What’s really interesting to me is that some of the titles which were heartily embraced by newer fans to comics (I’m thinking specifically of Hawkguy, Ms Marvel, Squirrel Girl, and KSD’s run on Avengers Assemble here) spend a lot of time on the day-to-day lives of superheros and virtually no time on them having fights with each other, unless they’re the kind of friendly bets that actual friends make.
And the panels that show up on Tumblr- which is not a representative sampling of comics fandom overall but is certainly a look into one part of it- are almost entirely ones that are about superheroes as people rather than as murderbot soldiers for good. It’s not about “could this dude beat up this other dude,” but rather about the humans beneath the superhuman mask.
Like. Do they see this connective thread? They must, right? I need to believe they do.
