twilightthunder's Dark Avengers #1 - Assemble review

    Avatar image for twilightthunder

    my first 3 star review, why? You're about to know.

    I don't hate this book, nor i love it, i just "like it" I'm not the type, comic books for me are meant as a form of literature, read my reviews and all that you'll see is pure greatness. Brian Bendis, the mainstream writer of the century (he'll get as overrated as Jeph Loeb) Now takes us in a mistery-plagued ride called Dark Avengers (this name is just... Lame...) One of the main books of the Dark Reign storyline, so far, so good, i like big events (Do i?) when you get to see real change (take that DC!) Although i haven't read SI (and i probably never will) I got some reviews from my friends and they gave me a "good" Score, it wasn't the best series ever, but i wasn't rubbish either, Norman Osborn is going up on my fave villains list, he's just acting like a fascist-ultra-right man, proably, that way of thinking will totally hook me to the book, i'd like to see the Dark Avengers as a radical force, rather than the dudley-do-right Avengers i've known for so long. (i'll always respect them, but let's embrace change for a change)  Mike Deodato Jr. Suits the mood of the book perfectly, hope he stays for a long time. One of the aspects i loved of this issue was the fact that SHIELD is no more, there's HAMMER and they're here to kick some ass, i loved SHIELD; but as i said before, let's embrace change. Meta-Humans chosen by Osborn are not my favorites and the super-persona they were given isn't just the kind i like... I'd have loved a fascist look better, i know they're reformed villains... but come on, i'm sure they'd have come up with something better for'em. Anyways, this first issue sure is worth a read, if you're not too crazy to buy it, then don't do it because i don't know how long i'll be hooked up to this series myself, if this guy Bendis starts pulling off "CRAPTACULAR" Revelations and stories i'll probably abandon ship ASAP.

      Quite an introduction! 0

      Though I'm mainly an X-fan I begrudgingly participate in every Marvel line-wide event, which is how I happened upon this book – it's the first title in the Siege: Prelude TPB. Having outright despised Secret Invasion I was skeptical of the entire edition as well as anything Bendis. Imagine my surprise when this issue was a taut, engaging intro to a series I suddenly have a deep craving to catch up on. Disclosure: I haven't read any Avengers comics other than Disassembled since the 1990s, every...

      Norman is the top dog. 0

      I have had this issue for a long time and have been aching to review it. This is the first issue is the start of an ongoing series telling the stories of Norman Osborn's avengers and also has ties up a few loose ends from secret avengers and also sets the stage for the next issues.The cover is brilliant a true classic with all the characters in shadow and the lightning bolt in the background it is a true classic. The story doesn't have much action in it but it shows a Osborn assembling his new a...
