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.
