THE BLOCKBUSTER EVENT continues. Its Avenger versus Avenger. Hero versus hero! Norman Osborn versus Captain
Marvel?? The Initiative versus an army of Super-Skrulls? Is Tony Stark really a- -? And who's that guy with an eye patch coming to save the day?? And, oh man, who did he bring with him?
REVIEW by Brian Fisher
Now, in the category of Marvel Crossover events that have lived up to the hype (insofar as the third issue) here it is. After a lacklustre and, frankly boring second issue they've kicked it up a notch. Big reveals (or red-herrings) and epic battles make this the best issue of the mini-series so far. The Leinil Yu artwork is top shelf (especially when it's inked... New Avengers detractors can shut their yaps now) and, yes Bendis' writing didn't make me wretch this time around. And, bonus cliffhanger! After the Initiative gets their collective tuchases handed to them, back-up arrives on the scene... the new Howling Commandoes! Rock!
