BONUS REVIEW by JOHN ROBINSON
BMB kicks off the return to the HEROIC AGE (good guys in charge again) of MARVEL COMICS with Avengers #1.
Teaming up with artist John Romita Jr, the book wraps up Siege and introduces you to the current AVENGERS
line-up (not to be confused with NEW, DARK, YOUNG, etc.). Whole lotta set-up, and BMB's pacing is slow
as ever so not much happens. Are good things in store? Looks like it from the cliff hanger ending, but
while this does a capable job of setting things up, that's really all it's going to do for you.
