I'm not a fan of the recoloring Marvel uses for their Masterworks, but sometimes they improve the originally printed material. I wonder if someone with access to Avengers vol. 10, can verify whether there's still a white gap at the center of this double page:  |

Who cares about that gap? What really needs fixing is Hawkeye's costume!

The gap is the least of the problems with that coloring job. It's atrocious.

Here is the digital download version, still looks like there is a piece missing, double page spread not blended correctly? Oh well, I can live with it!   |

All I can see of Hawkeye is the back of his head and shoulders at the bottom of the panel. |

You can't see it very well in that illustration, but those of us who've been Avengers fans for a long time can't forget how bad it was. I can't pass up any opportunity to bag on it, even if it's way off-topic. |

I went searching for another view and got this:  Oh my! |

Well, they'll make the bad colors brighter. I do have Avengers 10 - I was trying for a full set of Masterworks, but now that they've decided to stop publishing Atlas and Golden Age volumes for Bronze Age dollar bin fodder I'm not sure if I care anymore. I might get all the material published up to up 'till 1971 or so in that format. |

Funny, that spread actually looks better split up... you can use your imagination to pretend it lines up right that way Agree the colors are terrible... they almost look worse brighted up. Also agree with that MMW is silly now... early 70s stuff is so easy to get... supply far outweighs demand out there. I know, I know, MRP, I sure the business reason is there, but we don't have to like it. |

Oh, I think Clint knew exactly  what he was doing by continuing to wear that short, revealing skirt/dress tunic. After all, with the exception of Captain America (and the Vizh later on of course), look at the flesh-baring fellows she'd been attracted to in the past.   I think Jan's attire (with those--streamers, I guess they are) on that page is ridiculous, but I guess it was the style back then. |

As I learned from my experience with binding years ago, you would lose a bunch of the art in the center (like the right half of the Black Knight, the left half of Ant-Man, and all of Aragorn, plus the word "Gods" in the title) if they *didn't* include the gap in the Masterworks printing. I say be thankful.
Cei-U!
I summon the blessing in disguise!

The Scarlet Witch's look always turned me off with the reddish hair, red bathing suit, head-piece, & cape, and pink tights: just too much red/rose/pink. For that reason the (accidental?) black hair in the middle panel here looks good, but the easiest solution would be to get rid of the pink tights/body-suit and the head-piece, both of which I think would be ugly in and of themselves no matter what colour they were. |
