Norman Osborn wants the head of former super hero Hawkeye who now goes by the name Ronin. Hawkeye has been very vocal in denouncing Osborn and has thus earned a spot on the limited list of contrarian heroes that Osborn, the director of H.A.M.M.E.R. thinks he must eliminate in order to have total control. Ronin does decide to attack Osborn and falls in a trap. Will Ronin make it alive?
I’m not sure that I understand the logic behind another Avengers’ series. There are two being written by Bendis. Couldn’t he fit his storyline inside the existing books he has? I think this is Marvel Comics’ way of making readers like me buy more books in a recession. In hindsight, I may prefer the dedicated limited series where every headlining action occurs instead of this way of just publishing more books. I didn’t even add that one to my list. My local retailer figured that since I get regular Avengers series, that I’d want this one too. Well the story is good, but again it’s hard to justify another book, especially when Marvel Comics is happy to charge the most for it.
Djurdjevic is a great artist, although he draws his characters’ open mouth wider than Rob Liefeld. He gets pacing and page composition and it’s hard to find anything bad with his work. It’s crispy comic book fair and it may help to justify this fourth or fifth – I lose track – Avengers’ series.
The biggest problem i have with this review is that you don't really review this release, instead you go on about marvel's continuing attempts to get more sales out of there readers, an interesting point but some review of the actual issue would have helped.
Side note, loved when they were discussing killing osborn and someone said what if you could go back and kill hitler and bucky in the corner let slip he did, in fact, kill hitler that just made me laugh.
Thanks for adding this Chris. I did forget to go deep about the actual story in this story by just saying it was good. Well, it was and the Hitler joke was well received too. I like how Captain America feels so aloof with all the Avengers.
