Right now, New Avengers is the strongest book of the franchise, even if this issue had some minor flaws. While all the other Avengers book are trying to play outside of their comfort zone, New Avengers, under the watchful eye of Bendis, Immonen, and company, proudly accepts what it is and plays to its strengths.

Even though this story is built on events from the first "New Avengers" series, it stands alone well here with the premise clearly presented and explored through entertaining action and character interaction.
