Well, this comic held a lot of promise.Last issue, we learned that Hank Pym, the leader of the Mighty Avengers (sorry, I refuse to call him The Wasp - it's just stupid), needed a dimensional device to save the team's headquarters from - I dunno, something bad happening to it.
The device is in the hands of Reed Richards, who refuses to give it to Hank (apparently Reed has momentarily lapsed back into being the jerk he was during Marvel's Civil War).
The only solution, of course, is for the Mighty Avengers to battle the Fantastic Four. Which could have been a lot of fun, but sadly isn't.
The issue's biggest problem is the artwork. No less than four artists (and two colorists) are listed in the credits, so one assumes this one had to be assembled quickly. It certainly looks it - the layouts are confusing and the artwork sketchy and dark.
The book still offers flashes of cleverness, and I still have hopes that it'll come together. The teaser at the end of the issue is promising, but if this team doesn't come together soon, I wouldn't expect this comic to hang around much longer.
Grade: C
