The New Avengers have uncovered one of the darkest, most well-kept secrets in the history of the Marvel Universe. A secret from Nick Fury's past that reveals the secret origins of the Avengers themselves. Plus, who invented the Infinity Formula and why was Nick Fury the only person to ever have taken it? Or was he?? Bendis reunites with superstar artist Mike Deodato Jr. (Dark Avengers, Secret Avengers)  and they both welcome a guest appearance by comics legend Howard Chaykin. Plus: another illustrated chapter of the oral history of the Avengers!
I definitely can't wait to see Fury and his Avengers take on the Red Skull. I'd really also like to see a little more play out in the 2011 story. If Bendis can find a balance to that soon, this stands to be one of his best Avengers arcs since he took over. Read Full Review
You can't help but feel that Bendis has been watching Jonathan Hickman jiggering with the Marvel timeline in S.H.I.E.L.D. and wanted to give it a go - but so far - for this story - it isn't working. Read Full Review
I wish the past storyline wasn't intermingled within. I could have lived with the bookends much like last issue, but every time it jumped in time I was pulled out. Bendis does give us some good lines and a well told story, and I am really digging the team composition and camaraderie. Superia does steal the show every single time she's in panel, from yelling at her henchmen for using her Christian name to just dismantling the team, she is a force of awesome. Unfortunately, what could have been a good 4-4.5 is merely 3 of 5 stars due to the lackluster tale in between. Read Full Review
More than a little hit-and-miss, but still worth a look. Read Full Review
The worst issue of New Avengers since the relaunch. Sorry, folks. Read Full Review
The story taking place in 1959 has really improved since last issue with the introduction of Nick Fury’s 1959 Avengers. I still don’t know how the flashback story relates in the smallest bit to present day story. The present day story is still pretty boring besides Mockingbird being shot
i'm not really into the nick fury story personally
