Goddam Bendis. His extra issue ruined Ultimate Secret and it still doesn't make any sense.

Bendis=Satan, not God.

And Strazynski had no control over the costume change. I believe it was entirely mastermined by Joe Q.

Recap...

Opens with the same shot that HoM ended with. Some fireball (very Phoenix) comes crashing down to earth (North Poll City).

Tony and Agent Hill (Why is she still called "agent"?) are in a conversation about the secret events of HoM, where Tony is playing sarcastic and ignorant beautifully.

Right as Tony signs off and on que, the alarms sounds. There's a bit of a disturbance in Alaska. SHIELD survey's this disturbance (a humanoid form of fire-energy streaking through the land). They lose contact with the SHIELD agents and next we see is their helicopter down. Next Hill is frantic and needs help. The whole while she refuses to call the Avengers. They ask the Prime Minister of Canada to send in their superhero team. Alpha Flight gets demolished. Hill has run out of options and the President orders that she call in the Avengers.

3.5/5

I didn't hate it. I'm very excited about this arc. Alpha Flight's demise was wonderful. I had a real problem with the fact that it was gotten over very quickly. Anyone there was no Avengers shown but it was a good set up for things to come.

10 full splash pages? About 12 total PANELS with an actual member of the team in them? This wasn't a story or even a slice of a longer story - it was a sentence fragment.

To be fair the collective is supposed to be one of the greatest threats ever. I thought the intensity of the issue was worth it.
 
Re: New Avengers series discussion (spoilers)

McNiven's art is spectacular. Anyone else, and I'd be thinking of asking for my money back, as the issue felt entirely like marketing hype to me. In trade form, it will probably be a good intro to the "real" story. As a regular monthly installment of a comic I paid full price for -- not even.
 
Re: New Avengers series discussion (spoilers)

3.5/5 is a good score. The art was great and the scene where Alpha Flight gets offed was pretty cool but.....

The man did Babylon 5 and Crusade.

It would take a LOT of The Other (which he only wrote a THIRD of) to get me to 'damn' him. :)

He may have wrote only a third of it, but it was masterminded completely by him and Joe Q. The entire story was Strazynski's idea, and as a result, J.M.S. has done the impossible. Something I honestly thought could never happen.

He made Spider-Man suck. So yes, Damn Strazynski!

And on that same note, if it weren't for Bendis and his fine Ultimate Spider-Man comic, as well as his awsome New Avengers comic, I'd never give Marvel a second look.

So, in recap. Bendis rules, J.M.S. drools. Period. End of story.
 
Re: New Avengers series discussion (spoilers)

We're getting waaaaaay off-topic. Bring 'er back, captain.
 
Re: New Avengers series discussion (spoilers)

The art was good. But I finished reading it in like 5 minutes. The only good part was Alpha Team and it olnly last 2 panels.

2/5 <- 2 because of the art.
 
Re: New Avengers series discussion (spoilers)

It left me wanting more...but isn't that a good thing?

Re: New Avengers series discussion (spoilers)

Yeah.....for this all-powerful being he supposed to be...I haven't seen him do anything except rip Carnage in half.

But I did that last Tuesday....so it's no big whoop.

You also saw him singlehandedly beat the snot out of a massive teamup of superheroes.
