This was a pretty outstanding read it has to be said, let alone a breathe of fresh air from all this Secret Invasion nonsense we've been reading about lately (heh).
It was great to finally read a current issue of an Avengers title which actually had a somewhat 'classic' feeling Avengers line up!
This rooster is full of classic Avenger characters! As you can see from the cover, we've got Captain America, Spidey, Wolverine to name but a few.. and the best bit is, that from the first issue of their team up, we see them acting as a true Avengers team.. out on a mission from the word "go!".
We see the New Avengers here going after Luke & Jessica's baby which was taken by the Skrull who was imposing as Jarvis
(The Butler of The old Avengers Tower).
The ending was somewhat predictable, but totally cool and thrilling nonetheless!
This issue was written brilliantly by Bendis, great natural, flowing, humourous yet deadly serious dialouge. This comic wasnt afraid to get straight down to business as well as having some classic humour from Spidey!
Great artwork by Billy Tan! Someone give this guy an award for being a totally rad artist!
