    Luke Cage as Steve Carrell. Sold.

    Acuña?  I’ll probably bite.

    I wish I’d seen that Stuart Immonen was off this book as of this issue as I might have dropped it before I pre-ordered it. Ah well. Here’s hoping this is as good as the last issue.

    Is Immonen OFF off? Or just a couple issues? I’m not a huge fan of Acuna. Just not my style. Maybe i’ll wait until i read reviews before i throw down the $4.

    since he’s drawing Fear Itself, he’s probably off the book

    @Fvckstick  He’s at least off till Fear Itself is done

    Dropped.  I really dislike Acuna.  I can’t wait for the Fear Itself Immomen.

    I will miss this being the best looking book on the rack. This is a 180 degree turn. So sad.

    Why, comic book gods, why?! I really hope Immonen returns after Fear Itself

    I’m sad to see Immonen go, but the preview Marvel released for this was FANTASTIC, I thought.
    I can’t wait to read this :)

    I agree…LOVED Immomen. Not a huge fan of Acuna. Oh well, we’ll have to see.

    I’d read this even if it was drawn by my mom.

    Man even Doctor Doom wants some of that action.

    I doubt Immonen will be back after Fear Itself.

  15. RoiVampire RoiVampire says:

    @Bendrix  Why? Bendis and hi clearly love working together. Heck MArk Bagley came back for Bendis. If he wants him back I have no doubt he’ll return soon after Fear Itself

    After I heard that Immonen was off the book to draw Fear Itself, I was planning on dropping the book. Then I read the article about the upcoming Deodato/Chaykin drawn arc and decided to continue reading at least for a couple of more issues.

    What’s this Fear Itself you speak of? I’ve been out of the comic loop as of late =O

    @Fvckstick  Fear Itself.

    artists rarely go back to the ongoing after the event.  often they go to a creator owned or something completely different.  at the very least we’ll get a lot of Immonen covers on seemingly random books.

    This was… pretty bad.

    I’d like to nominate “Skank ho after skank ho” for a panel of the week.

    I found this a bit boring. Didn’t believe for a second that it was Dr. Doom and thought the whole debate about her name was contrived and her rejoining the Avengers was a foregone conclusion.

    I dare someone to tell me anything that moved forward in this issue.  I DARE THEM.

  24. Malecema Malecema says:

    @andybmcd:  The point of this issue wasn’t to move anything forward.  This was just a one-shot, in between arcs thing.

    meh. Dialog was slightly amusing but nothing happened. Also not a big fan of Acuna’s art, it’s not bad but Immonen’s art is in a whole other league

  26. JesseG JesseG says:

    I nominate Luke Cage and Jessica Jones as most annoying couple in the Marvel universe.

    I shall be the dissenting voice here and say that I thought that this was a super fun one shot. I even enjoyed the Acuna art, which I usually don’t. These in-between character issues are always my favorites, and getting Bendis writing two of my favorite characters? Good times, I say.

    Disappointed no Squirrel Girl in this.

    I’m with CaseyJustice. This was a fun one shot. Those of you who complain about talking. I don’t get it. This is a Bendis book. This is what he does with the Avengers. IMO, it’s better than when he does action heavy books.

    Welp, I enjoyed this issue. 4.1 average with 700 pulls? Yep.

    It’s clear that Bendis should be writing Archie…The Married Life. He’s more obsessed writing Cage/Jones (& Clint/Bobbi as an alternate) than turning out great epics.

    Dear Axel – Please rip up Bendis’ exclusive contract so that Archie Comics can sign him up pronto.

    I would definitely buy a Luke Cage/Jessica Jones only on-going, in which they did nothing but shop for baby food and discuss why they can’t get quality child care. But then again, I am of a certain age, married with chldren.
