• Wait a minute... Isn't Nick Fury dead? The original Nick Fury, leader of the Howling Commandos. He's dead. Right? Because someone that looks a whole lot like him is out to kill Clint and his renegade team of Occupy Avengers.
• Plus: Has Red Wolf found love?
Rated T+
While Hawkeye and Red Wolf continue to be distinct, well-written characters, the fleshing out of Deadly Nightshade in Occupy Avengers #4 goes awry, as she becomes a repetitive parody of character growth. It's increasingly unclear what these Avengers are occupying, and where this title belongs in the grand scheme of the Marvel Universe. Walker's ground-level series started out well before stumbling, so one can only hope things will get back on track once the more artistically suitable Walta comes on board. Read Full Review
I'm really liking this series... This book alone... Great tilda intro. Barton is a little more silly than he should be. The prospects this series could lead to are inspiring. I'd like to think the ultimates are on one side of the spectrum with this series on the other. And it'd be awesome if they kind of came together in the end. But I digress, this was a good book
Yes Nightshade someone is going to write a story about you, we know, we know. LOL Good story and I'm glad to see where this is going. I'm glad the team is fleshing out pretty well rounded. I can't wait to see the next arc and who they pick up next. Plus I really enjoy the art of Pacheco, Fonteriz and Quintana. Simple but good.
Fury and his LMD Commandos ended up not much more than a flash in the pan. Tilda put the con in convincing readers of her reform. Red Wolf was a dud this time. Nighthawk stole the spotlight from Hawkeye - and walks away?
The LMD situation is awesomely sorted out with the awesome assistance of Tilda "Nightshade" Johnson, who is awesome. Guess who's joining the team? This issue offers a serious Tilda overdose, and I'm saying that as somebody who likes the character. I think the author's conceit of looping her narration back to the same themes three times is more lazy repetition than clever emphasis. The question of who's stealing LMD parts is left frustratingly unanswered, but Nick Fury Jr. gives Hawkeye a paranoid "trust no one" warning.
