After wrapping up an outstanding story featuring Dr. Strange, the New Avengers return to their underground existence in New York, trying to decide what to do about Norman Osborn.This would probably be a lot more interesting if the team hadn't already done this in almost every issue since the end of Secret Invasion.
Can you tell that I'm getting tired of the whole Dark Reign story?
Writer Brian Bendis offers an interesting twist on a well-worn story idea, as a team of bad guys move in a completely different direction as a result of an overlooked event several months back. It's clever and well thought out, and it leaves us with an interesting twist ending, but it's still a letdown after the high octane story that just wrapped.
The art is by Stuart Immonen, who seems to be drawing everything these days (he also drew this week's Fantastic Four). As always, strong work from him as he tackles a few dozen different characters.
So it's a decent issue with some good moments and a twist or two, but it's not quite up to recent efforts.
Grade: B-
