I've said it before, and it looks like Brian Bendis agrees with me -- if I were an ordinary citizen in the Marvel Universe, I'd have a damn hard time figuring out who's a good guy and who's a bad guy. Yeah, the constant flipping of allegiances gets a little silly, and Norman Osborn's elevation to head of HAMMER is one of the more absurd versions of that. But here, Bendis takes that absurdity and runs with it, in a nice riff on the politics of "spin," as Norman launches a PR counterattack to Clint Barton's televised rant against him. (Hey, maybe the New Avengers should have found somebody who's never been a bad guy, or suspected bad guy, to do that -- wait, do they HAVE anybody like that? The way Marvel storytelling works, it's hard to think of anyone!)
Meanwhile, the snarky dynamics between the team continue to sparkle, Norman and the Sentry's relationship gets weirder, and Marvel Boy/Captain Marvel starts to get a clue. Maybe.
Mike Deodato's art style isn't my personal favorite, but it's well-executed and gets the job done.
Art: 4 - Very Good
