PENCILS: John Romita JR.

This review contains spoilers, click here to read
This book fell flat and it didn't have to. After the the events which led us from the Civil War through the Seige, I was expecting more than a recycled villain (Kang) coming out of nowhere to warn our assembled Avengers heroes to travel to the future and stop their children from destroying the world. While the actual assembling of the team, and the interplay between the characters was interesting and rewarding (Rogers/Stark, Spider Man/Hawkeye, Cap/Thor), it is hard to swallow time travel and the appearance of Kang. I wonder how many readers consider Kang to be an interesting villain. I wonder how many other readers found Wonder Man's disaffection to lack authenticity. I wonder how many other readers found Maria Hill's rendering to be drab.
Traditional powers Thor, Iron Man and the new Cap combine well with new Avengers like Spider Man and Wolverine to provide a very strong lineup. I was expecting more of a terrestrial threat, perhaps hidden Skrulls or HYDRA, or something altogether new to challenge this strong an assemblage. My hope is that the next few months prove me to be wrong. I can almost imagine Stan Lee thinking - "Really? These guys have to figure out a way to travel to the future to battle their own children for vague and convoluted reasons? I've had better ideas for arcs in between blinks."
