Despite my minor quibbles, it's actually a very strong issue of Dark Avengers. It's not quite as good as last month, but it's pretty much all you can hope for out of a Dark Avengers comic. Read Full Review

And strangely, that's what I'm looking forward to - seeing this team crash and burn. Or at least make a bit more sense. Read Full Review

The ending of this issue is especially interesting. It could either spell very intriguing possibilities for the future of Norman Osborn, or mean absolutely nothing at all. Whatever comes of this new development, I just hope we won't see Dark Avengers treading water for the final few months until Siege begins. The series is strong, but there is still room for improvement and expansion. Read Full Review

I would think that this book is nearing the end of it's run since Dark Reign is ending. This is an issue that you can skip. Nothing happens at all that moves the story forward. Read Full Review

I'm very curious where this issue's last page will take the story next month. I just hope Bendis gets around to fleshing out his story a bit more and trimming back some of the fact. Read Full Review

This issue has it's nice touches. I like how the implication is that Moonstone/Ms. Marvel/Dr. Sofen seduces Bullseye not because she likes him (he's actually a reprehensible excuse for a human being) but because he's wearing a Hawkeye costume, a callback to old-school Thunderbolts. I like the opening sequence, which feels like a drive-in horror movie, leaving me yelling at the stupid girls to get back in the car. I liked the use of Venom here, showing the obvious consequences of Norman's shotgun approach to medication. But there are a lot of things that I can't quite figure out. Wasn't the Sentry left for dead at the end of last issue, his brains blown out? How long has it been since Captain Marvel/Marvel Boy/Noh-Varr disappeared, anyway? Why is the Man-Thing in Louisiana, and not his usual Nexus of Realities in Florida? And what about Naomi? My biggest complaint about this issue is the way it seems to exist as an island unto itself, not really tying in to anything else in the Marvel U Read Full Review
