The past comes crashing into the present as the secret history of Nick Fury and the Avenger Initiative has come to haunt the New Avengers in the modern day. As one of the Avengers lays near death, how can the secret sins of Nick Fury save them?! Stunning artwork from superstar Mike Deodato and comics legend Howard Chaykin on every page! PLUS: another chapter of the oral history of the Avengers!
All in all, I'm enjoying this arc. I like how Deodato and Chaykin's styles are being used to tell the two stories, and Bendis' plot isn't really dilly dallying around but keeping a nice even pace. What's the connection between the two eras? No idea. I mean, I don't even have a guess at what is connecting these two eras. So, that definitely means I'm looking forward to seeing how that plays out. Read Full Review
The really good present day portion is handicapped by a bizarre issue format/structure and a comparative yawner of a Nick Fury story. Read Full Review

It has been three months now since Mockingbird was shot, and about twenty minutes or so has taken place in the lives of the New Avengers since that happened. At the same time, Nick Fury's past mission has advanced several days, possibly even weeks, making it difficult to remember where last issue ended up and the things that happened in between. Add to that the fact that pretty much nothing happens in the present story this month, and you have a recipe for a very blah reading experience. Taking into account that my favorite part of the story seems inextricably tied to corporate world-building synergy (setting up the Avengers Initiative just in time for it to be in continuity when the movie comes out) and I'm not really excited about this book. That's a real shame, because this was the Avengers title that I expected would be my favorite of the four monthlies (and let's not even discuss whether or not there's a need for four monthly Avengers titles anyway.) All in all, New Avengers #11 i Read Full Review
good book however the art for the nick fury story seems a little of in my opinion
And now the tides have turned. In New Avengers 10, the dominant storyline was easily the 1959 one, with the present day story lacking. Now the present day story is thriving after Bobbi getting shot, while the 1959 story is basically the bland Nick Fury Avengers running around looking for the Red Skull
