Secret Invasion has been a mixed bag for me. The core series has tried to cover so much ground of the invasion itself that it’s been spread too thin, delivering short and surprisingly unsatisfying vignettes. The logical assumption would be to turn tie-in issues in titles like Mighty and New Avengers, in the hopes that those vignettes would be expanded upon. This just doesn’t happen. I understand Bendis is using the Avengers titles to rewind and reveal how the Skrulls have been crafting their dastardly plan all throughout Avengers history. What I don’t understand is what criteria he uses to choose these moments. Skrull Elektra in Mighty Avengers? Sure, there were a few interesting moments, but by and large, it seemed unnecessary. This is the precisely what’s going on in New Avengers #43.
As with most of the ship-side heroes thus far, Captain
Touching upon the art quickly, I thought Billy Tan’s pencils were actually very good. I’ve heard mixed opinions of his work back during Messiah Complex, but I never really had a problem with it, and I certainly don’t now.
Issues like this are difficult for me to review. By no means is it bad. The art is good. There are no problems with the story writing or dialog itself. The problem comes in framing this story against the grand scheme of Secret Invasion. The issue feels ancillary at best and I just can’t help but feel that Secret Invasion, in both series and tie-ins, is starting to tread water.
* Oh, come on. You really think Marvel’s going to mess with Brubaker’s Cap title? Anything sizeable to happen to Cap will happen in Captain America.
Art: 4 - Very Good
