This review contains spoilers, click here to read
Continuing the story from the latest issue 1 of New Avengers, we follow the adventures of another Avengers team in a big, splashy, fun adventure. One might even call it a "romp." While this team is might not be as powerful as the Avengers or perhaps I might say the Adjectiveless Avengers, the creative team is sure giving that other book a run for its money. And while both share some overlap (Bendis creatively and Wolverine, Spidey and Hawkeye fictionally), I think the whole package works better here. The combination of Stuart Immonen's pencils, inks by the incomparable Wade Von Grawbadger and vivid colors by Laura Martin (at least in part) is potent. Full disclosure: I own some original art from Messrs. Immonen and Von Grawbadger ("it's a nuny-noonooliner") so I may be biased.
This is comics fun as I like it: big action, high stakes, ends on a cliffhanger. It all hangs together really well. I'm afraid I have to come short of giving full points to Mr. Bendis here as I think he gets a little too jokey with the characters. We know Spider-man is the funny one, but when even Wolverine is getting clever witticisms, they have to take Spider-man to almost cartoonish levels: take care of the baby; fetch the paper towels; etc. I find it interesting to note that the Adjectiveless Avengers seem to get the gruff Wolverine right by portraying him as decidedly unwordy. Same writer, but a different tone, I suppose. Also of note is that Spider-man in the Adjectiveless Avengers laments not joining Luke Cage's outfit, so I'm not sure where these to stories hang with each other even if they did come out on the same day and were from the same writer. I do really like the device of annotating the spells cast by all the sorcerers. It's rather like what Fraction is doing with the X-captions.
The book ends on a cliffhanger and I think we're left with many questions I can't wait to get the answers to: Where is Danny Rand? Where is the Eye of Agamotto? What is forfeit? How many times will an Avenger get punched out of their base at ballistic speeds? How will Luke Cage pay for the damages to the mansion? How will he pay for the property taxes on the mansion? Who is watching the baby? Seriously, Spider-man didn't even have the baby monitor at the end, and I don't think it would have the range to reach all the way out there. I think we all know that Spidey isn't good with babies.
