This series was starting to wear on me recently, but we've definitely kicked it into high gear with this one. The simplicity here is something that was sorely missed in some of the previous issues. Still present is the ominous, looming threat, but without the cryptic pontificating. Just a good old fashioned space battle. This had all the classic dogfight elements of Star Wars, Trek, and Battlestar, and none of the so-called "fortune cookie speak" that fans have been growing tired of.
Yu really nailed this issue. Everything from the intricate rendering of the Skrulls, to the expression on the various alien faces, to the epic splash pages in space was deliciously consistent. His line work is among the most razor sharp and precise in the business.
Also present was some of the characterization that is often lacking in Hickman's superhero work. Cannonball and Sunspot (who continue to shine in this title like never before) waving to Smasher in the Galactic Council meeting. Natasha and Jessica's exchange about the Skrulls involvement. Carol's quip to Steve about being a better pilot than he was. These were all great moments, but my personal favorite was Gladiator griping about being forced to perform his new Majestor duties and observe the battle from his shuttle like an old veteran Adama, instead of being on the front lines.
And that ending? For me, floating toward a black hole is one of the scariest things about being in space. It's like the space equivelant of rebar. I'd rather take on the Borg. So that was a helluva cliffhanger.
With the beginning of Infinity, Hickman has really injected some much needed new energy into his Avengers work, and has consequently regained my interest instantly.
