I have to say, I'm glad this comic is about to end. Like the previous 14 issues, this one features amazing artwork by Mike Deodato - detailed, powerful designs, incredible characters - and the action just explodes off the page.
Also like the previous issues, it focuses on vile characters and events, reaching new lows.
This story by Brian Bendis starts out by clearly showing the identity of the powerful entity Norman Osborn was using to keep the other members of the Cabal in line.
The rest of the issue is given over to a different view of recent events, as the Avengers Tower is evacuated because of an attack by Dr. Doom - and one of the Dark Avengers uses the distraction to commit a heinous act, which is depicted graphically and in gruesome detail.
Everything about this issue is truly repellent - except the art. This comic can't go away fast enough for me. But keep Deodato around - he's amazing.
Grade: D
