PREVIEW: Avengers #12.1 by Brian Michael Bendis & Bryan Hitch

Marvel's head-scratching Point One issues continue with Avengers #12.1 from regular series writer Brian Michael Bendis and guest artist Bryan Hitch. This one seems like it might tie-into the current story-line a bit more than the other Point One issues, and as we learned from Bendis this past weekend at C2E2, it's a very Spider-Woman focused story. Here's how Marvel describes it:

Steve Rogers has directed each of Earth’s Mightiest super-teams into the midst of a heated battle against the globe’s smartest super-villains! But as the forces of S.W.O.R.D. descend to deliver an ominous warning and their former agent Spider-Woman goes missing, one thing seems all too clear for the assembled heroes – war is coming! POINT ONE fires the opening salvo of Bendis’ most devastating Avengers story yet, only in Avengers #12.1!

Avengers #12.1 hits stores April 27, 2010.

Here's an unlettered preview:
