The buyer should be warned that the inside portion of this comic is not nearly as action packed as the cover promises.However, don't let that fool you - the interior crackles with conflict, tension and an outstanding story.
In a crossover with Nick Fury and his Secret Warriors, Ares finally decides to see what his son Phobos is up to during the day. And to say that they have an difficult father-and-son relationship would be an understatement.
We also see lots of conflict in the headquarters of the Dark Avengers, and indications that Norman Osborn's team may be much more erratic than we thought.
The issue features all kinds of plot twists and great characterization, and it's a heck of a good read.
The art continues to be phenomenal under Mike Deodato. He does the big action sequences well, and manages to capture the emotions each character is feeling with amazing skill.
I've said before that the Dark Reign story is losing its allure, but issues like this pull me right back in. Good stuff.
Grade: A-
