I had pretty much decided to drop The Mighty Avengers from my "buy" list.The first few issues of the new team were pretty lackluster. The art was just OK, characters popped in and out (like Iron Man and the Hulk) and it just seemed like another random gathering of superheroes to create a team and sell some comics.
But for some reason, I decided to try one more issue, and I'm glad I did.
With the obligatory "origin" story out of the way, this issue focuses more on characters and big adventures, as the team goes around the world fighting some obscure bad guys.
Writer Dan Slott is having a lot of fun with the character interaction here between the heroes and the villains. He's also put several storylines in play that are very promising, including the secret reason behind the team's founding.
The art is also much improved, as Rafa Sandoval and Roger Bonet Martinez turn in some high energy artwork, although some of the layouts are a bit hard to follow - but it's quite an improvement over recent issues.
Throw in the dark secret behind the "Scarlet Witch's" return, and you have a comic that's worth picking up. So far.
