Doctor Carolina Washington, the former agent of SHIELD collecting all the samples from the crime scenes seems like a clone of Victoria Hand and has motivations similar the one she had a few years ago. Obviously, her usage here will probably be limited to giving Norman Osborne and his villainous acolytes a lot of data on how to replicate the powers of the Avengers. What I did like was how Captain America and his team just took over the old Avengers’ mansion back from Luke Cage’s team without any warning and as if it was normal. Cage’s complaint that he bought it for a dollar is not very credible, but what is more incredible, is how captain America goes through a routine he has done several times – rebuild the Avengers. It’s all interesting so far.
Acuna is the right artist for this storyline which is less explosive than the previous one. I’m actually glad to see John Romita Jr. gone from this series. He was really pushing it to the ground with his rushed artwork and dirty lines. His work was all sketches and no finishes. It’s good to see a totally different take here with Acuna whose work is somewhat painterly and much more stylized. There are even hints of crime noir in his work. I’m hooked again.
