You can't really go wrong with Billy Tan and B.M. Bendis as a team. And this book shows that in it's visual and written storytelling.
Bendis has slowly been developing Cage as a mainstream Marvel player, and has made no bones about his love of the character. My biggest problem has been that he is a
semi-powerful character who is
near indestructable. To me, this always made him one of the lower tier heavy weights. This issue changed all that.
In his quest to find his daughter after the Skrull Invasion, Cage bends many of the unwritten rules most Marvel heroes follow to a flaw. Herein lies my olnly beef with this issue. I don't fully buy that Cage would use Osborn and then betray him as quickly as he did. Cage is a very proud man. Part of what attracted me to his deal with Osborn was the potential for him to be indebted to Norman. I just didn't buy it.
Aside from that though I thought this was a great issue. You can't go wrong whenever a superhero busts out of a window and hits the pavement in the tree point stance. The crater effect never gets old!
It's going to be fun watching the New Avengers go and reclaim their "good names" against the Dark Avengers.
