With the end of Siege, Marvel also issued, what, about four other comics as an afterword to that event, including The New Avengers: Finale.While this issue purports to be the wrap-up to the whole New Avengers run, it's actually focused on the end of the ongoing battle between this group of Avengers and The Hood.
The final issue of Siege left The Hood in a bad spot, and he's trying to find a way out, with the help of Madame Masque and another high-powered villain (who shall not be named here). It's up to the New Avengers to figure out a way to track down The Hood and shut him down once and for all.
What follows is a fast-paced and fun battle royale, and a darn good finale to all the Dark Reign hijinks we've witnessed.
The story is (of course) by Brian Bendis, and while there are a few improbables in here, it's also a very entertaining story.
Artwise, the issue features a stunning array of outstanding artists, with most of the issue falling to the always-excellent Bryan Hitch and Stuart Immonen, and a trio each of inkers and colorists. The other 19 artists kick in an impressive series of splash pages and flashbacks that fill out the end of the issue.
If you're a fan of action, then you'll want to check this one out - it's a bit pricey at a $4.99 cover price, but you get a lot of bang for that dough.

Wolverine in the front.
Krod, yeah, that was kind of a giveaway, wasn't it? But Marvel's gotta sell comics, I suppose.
